Bukit Merah mangkor trip...

The next day fishing is in Bukit Merah Lake. The trip started at 6pm due to tiredness of last nite fishing in Tambun...We headed there with out cartopper alu boat and reach the lakeside at 7.30 after some breakfast at nearby stall...
The water was murky due to few days of heavy downpour...We fish in the upper section of the lake beyond the train track line...It was a beautiful scenary but the fish really dun have appetite to have our lures and anak keli...Or it might be those kampungs setting up nets and jala those fishes..


We change spot a lot of times and by noon we moved to nearby the train track for bottom since its too hot for casting...A first cast by my brother immidietly taken by a juvinile toman...Not really a good fighter compared to Temenggor tomans...but at east something better then nothing rite? Weight about 1kg plus. Photo taken and released...


We decided to it a day at 5pm when the wind started to blow strong and the water is choppy due to the strong wind...It was a poor catch rate trip but at least we tried lots of spot...

Thats all 2 days fishing trip in Penang...

Cheers

Tambun Plabuks...Mini BSR in Butterworth

19 APRIL 09...I reach Butterworth Penang at 5pm and immidietly rushed home to have some quick lunch and straight head to Tambun with my dad and my brother...Reach there nearly 7 and the place is crowded...

But when the time is bout 8.30, the place begun to slow down with people and the first fish landed by me after a long wait and changing baits...A plabuk took my bait at 9pm and had a very first long fight about 20min with my newly made custom rod from United rod paired with Abu revo STX with Varivas 14lb mono line...Landed a 9kg plus plabuk...Lovely fight...

Total that night for me is 4 plabuk average 6kg and the biggest is 9kg...My brother caught 4 plabuk all average bout 6kg too...The fishing session end at 12am and it was a lovely day...

The bend of the rod...Hook 1 of the plabuk from my brother and my dad tumpang lawan...Syok giler..A seahawk red scorpion rod 6' med action pair with shimano aperto XT3000 and 14lb line...

Check out the next day fishing in Bukit Merah Lake...

Fish Valley ReVisited...

April 6...Had a call nite before planning for FV since off day nothing to do...After spooled in new line for my Revo STX, I agreed with bro Greenyz...A suddent plan for a fishing trip...Anyway at 12pm I took a lrt to Setiawangsa and meet bro Greenyz there. It was raining over Ampang till Kajang area...Me and bro Greenyz hoping that FV is not raining...Reaching Semenyih town, it was dry n hot..Means its fishing time...Reach FV at 1pm after buying lunch n snacks.

We fishing at the bamboo groove and no bites were taken..Only small tilapia...The water was less murky then before..The bait I used is Gardinea Bread skin baked in oven till dry and mix with dedak and santan..It mostly use in BSR fishing in Thailand. So just give a try in FV for those plabuk...In the end , give up coz waited and change till sien..no bite at all...and use those FV pellet pressed with water till dough n rig to bomb...I think next trip will only use those FV pellet...easy n fish will makan...

Anyway bamboo groove didnt land anything so we swich place to bananarama at 4.30 pm....And we in business..the first fish landed a Pacu weight bout 4kg by bro Greenyz followed my first fish, a red tilapia bout 1 kg...The pacu landed using those black bucket at bananarama...Luckly can fit...

Second fish landed is a tilapia bout d same size earlier...Bro Greenyz line was snap few times...must be those pacu again...

At evening bout 7pm we testout another method...Bro greenyz rasuah some FV pellet and we cast out float with pellets...Immidietly taken coz the fish just plying beside those float.. I and bro Greenyz landed Grass carp bout 2 kg size....At least something before going off

Thanks bro Greenyz for the transport n time fishing...Looking foward next week monday...

Btw reports coming...Fishing in Tambun Paypond and Bukit Merah toman hunting...

Thats all for this week report...Cheers
