Soft Plastic VS Hard Bodied Lure

This morning me and Apy returned to our usual spot

but this time i'am strictly on soft plastic, no hard

bodied lure! :)

When we reached the spot, the tide was so damn nice

for us to start our hunting. Without wasting time, i

rigged up my Keitech 'Swing Impact' which i bought

last week and start casting, while Apy was already

bz casting his Aile Magnet...

On my third cast after the first twitch, i had a strong

sharp take, i paused for 2secs and immediately set

the hook. Fish is on! I'am so happy regardless what

fish it is. As it comes closer, i was even happier to

see that it was a good sized flathead!

No choice Apy got to stop casting and help me

with the photo..hehe.. Apy was like,"how come

so fast you landed oredi, are you cheating?"

hehehe.. I just smiled... :)

Here's the pics

Flattie on Keitech Swing Impact 3.8 inch

After photo and released my dear flattie, 5mins later

i landed an even nicer kim on the same weapon!!!

Apy 'kan chiong' oredi after my second fish and

he started to casts at all directions! hehe.. Maybe

today the fishes here just prefer soft plastics...

Work hard next time bro! :)

Here's the pics

My mission accomplished

The amazing 'cuda'

We fished the outgoing tide hoping for some good action. When

we reached the spot, the tide was just 2hrs on the falling and it

means the predators has just started their recess time! So me

and Apy quietly stand side by side and begin to cast.....

After 15min of casting, Apy got a shocked by something that

hit his lure hard and the leader was cut off in a split second!

Apy got blur and dont know what to do after that! hehehe..

So i told him for that case, usually its a big barracuda and

immediately i change my lure to a more flashy ones, just in case.. :)

On my 2nd cast, BOOMZ! Iam into a fight with a

'cuda'.

After landing the fish, I just got a feeling that this might

be the same fish that Apy lost just now.. Amazingly true

enough, there's 2 lures in its mouth!!!! mine and Apy's. :)

We call it off soon after that coz the rain

about to fall... :)

Here's the pics.

Barracuda landed on Zerek 115mm

Almost the same length with my rod..hehe

2 lures inside!!!

The first lure is already at his throat.

Greedy 'cuda'!

Sorry, Apy need his lure back...hehehe..

Another nice luring session.

Another luring session with Apy and myself early this morning. A nice

MJ says 'hello' to me first this time! It landed on the same lure again

'Daiwa Dr Minnow'. Hehe i think MJ seems to like this lure a lot..

After releasing my fish, the action stops immediately and the fishes

starts biting again just after the daybreak and i had 4 missed, grrrrr!!!

After landed 4pcs, we called it a day coz the sun is really heating up,

'bue tahan' arrr...hehe

Here's the pics.

MJ landed on Daiwa Dr Minnow 90mm

Apy always told me that he loves grouper a lot and keep

asking me to go catch some, coz he wants to learn

how to work a deep diving minnow. But today, 'No

need deep diver oso can kena grouper!' hehe.. Lucky!

I see a big smile on his face the moment he landed

this grouper! :) Bring home this one..hehe

Grouper landed on Duel Aile Magnet 105mnm

Kim landed on K-Ten 90mm

I have no idea what kinda grouper is this. It looks

similar to a 'tiger grouper' but its yellow and

striking too..

Unknown Grouper landed on Duel Aile Magnet 90mm

My killer is back.

I've been searching for this Maria AK high and low for quite

sometime already. Finally i got it now and it means the fish
is back!!! :)

Maria Angelkiss 115mm

The back to back respond..

Today our luring session is super on time! hehe.. but i had a shock of my life

while walking towards the spot... Guess what was it? Its a black spitting

cobra about a metre plus dashed right INFRONT of me, OMG!!!

Anyway, when we reached the spot... Apy took out his trusted

'maria chase' which he used to land a kim on the last trip and

started casting with it passionately. I was like gonna laugh

looking at him so focusing on the retrieving as he is new to luring.. :)

hehe AGAIN, 10mins later he shouted KENA! KENA!

Its a nice slightly above 2kg kim at the end of his line

This kim really gave him a hell of a good fight!

20mins later after Apy's kim was released, its my turn to land

my first nice kim of the day.. But the action doesn't stops

there... Apy got himself another nice kim again after that!

Luckily before the full time whistle, iam

rewarded with a nice little mangrove jack.

Total of 4 pcs for the day.. :)

Here's the pics

Barramundi kills the itch..

This morning me and Apy went to check out a spot somewhere in 'singapore' to catch the outgoing tide for some barra action. We're suppose to reach the spot at 10 but

we reached at 11 instead coz Apy forgot his wallet and i was like WTF! :)

When we reached the spot, we only have about half an hour to

fish before the lowest tide.. So we quickly start casting

and 10mins later Apy hit his very first barramundi aka kim

on lure that is given by me...hehehe...

After that, its my turn to land another nice kim

and kill my itch!

Here's the pics. Kim landed on Duel Aile Magnet 90mm.

This is Apy and his very first kim on lure. One fish two poses!! :)

So damn excited and happy..

Congrats bro! More fishes on your way...hehe...Kim landed on Maria Chase 105mm.

Lure that did the job..

Big lures catch bigger fish..... Expensive and modern lures catch more fish....

But i still strongly believe in 'old time' favourite lures coz of its deadly swimming actions and its way much cheaper like the Maria XJ First Born, Grossari, Bomber, Yozuri Mag Minnow, Nil Master and hell lot more brands during its time.. These are the lures that really catches fish those days, just need to select the right ones

for the tackle box...

What iam gonna share with you is the lure that i used to land my record barramundi.

Yozuri mag minnow 90mm. Originally it's in sardine colour.. Coz of the lazy

swimming action when slow retrieved and the right depth, i customised it to a

more deadlier colour for luring in a low visibility yellowish cum murky water.

A pure matt milk white body with a bit of fluoro pink at the top of the head

and two slashes on the sides for better contrast and not to spook the 'kim'.

This is one of my best customised colour i've ever made

and landed at least 30 kims ranging frm 2lbs to 9lbs on it including

my massive barramundi.. :)

here's the pic of the lure

Rainy-mundy!

The sky was very dark when we reached, so i started casting my 'seabass college'... after 10mins of casting, DZ hit a nice size barramundi but lost it due to blunt hooks! WTF, treble hooks so rusty! the moment he loses the fish, it began to rain heavily..

Since the fish is biting, we decided to fish in the rain this time.. so i changed to my favourite and trusted 'maria angel kiss'. true enough, 5mins later something hit my lure.. its a baramundi! so happy although its much smaller than the one DZ lost just now..

Here's the pic.

Maria Angel Kiss is my favourite!

Old grouper playground

Yesterday... after 5mins of discussion, me and 'papa lemon' decided

to visit one of our favourite grouper spot.

a nice foul hooked catfish using 'halco sorcerer 125' provides even nicer fight!!! we tot its a big grouper, or is it a new species of grouper with whiskas!!?? hehehe good work Papa Lemon!

expected some barra action but only landed catfish and baby grouper. maybe due to rain and the water temperature is not right, not so bad as zero fighter. CnR...
