my first talapia

Got my first talapia in Taman Samudera yesterday. Fishing with Jepp and Bakry from 3.30pm to 5.45pm. For further report, please visit Jepp's blog at http://jepp79.blogspot.com/

My very first talapia.

Flowerhorn paradise

Went to Taman Samudera with Jepp. Fished there from 3.30pm to 5.30pm. Used bread and worm as baits. I successfully landed 12 flowerhorns and a snakehead. As for Jepp, he landed 10 flowerhorns. A very satisfying leisure fishing activity. Will hunt for flowerhorns again in the future. I took all the flowerhorns home and released the snakehead. Planned to put them in my fish pond. As for Jepp, he took 9 of the flowerhorns he caught and released the biggest back to the lake.

A total of 12 flowerhorns I caught today.

The snakehead I caught using my prawn fishing set. It gave a very good fight.

Taman Airport

Went to cast for haruan this afternoon from 230pm to 530pm. in Taman Airport, Mile 7 with Jepp and Jason. Casted for nearly 2 hours using Bakau's froggie. There were a lot of strike but no solid hook up at all. Changed to Bakau's Gulp and still there were no solid hook up. Finally, I changed to River2Sea's Worm and I successfully landed 2 small haruans.

Karnival Joran Merdeka KD Sri Semporna 2009

Went to Semporna to take part in 'Karnival Joran Merdeka KD Sri Semporna 2009' with Elysius yesterday ( August 8th, 2009 ). Arrived Semporna at about 1.00pm. The carnival started at 4.00pm to 11.00pm. It was very tiring. Although we didn't win anything, the experience gained was really good.

Ruzaiman and his wife. Equipped with Shimano Navi 8000PG. He almost won the 8th prize.

Elysius and I.

The fish I caught using my Relix Slim Bass 15-25lbs rod and my Shimano Slade 4000. Two groupers, 2 baby GTs and a tetanda.

The heaviest fish that won this competition was a stingray weighing only 1.3kg. The guy won a big hamper, a trophy, a 32' LCD television and RM700 cash. I'll be back next year.

Sungai Assam

Went to Sungai Assam today with Jepp, Bob, Jason, Bakri and another two new friends. It was a very unsuccessful day for us all. The current was strong. We were not able to fish at all. We started our journey at about 7.45am and went back to the Yacht Club at about 3.00pm. Jason and I caught a few small groupers. The best catch of the day was Jepp with his 7-star grouper.

All the happy faces before the trip.

Me and my sifu, Mr. Jepp.

It was a very bad day for us all. I'm looking forward for another trip within these few weeks before the fasting month for the Muslims.
