It's another bass!

A photographer actually caught a wild shrimp in his homeland in Malaysia and took a beautiful photo of it. It is nice to see something so big in the wild.

Fourth lucky winner.

Last winner for the day. More warm up in the night...

2ft wonder rod landed this...

My friend came to visit me today at the shrimp ponds. I past him my favourite tiny 2ft rod to test and he caught this... and he asked me, "Got shorter rod?"

Barramundi 5-6kg range touched down...

What kind of fish do you need to have in a pro pond? Big fish. Yes, we have big fish. 3 fish exceed 15kg on the scale... time to pick up your rod?

Not only three... alot more in the pond... swimming around hooks and floats and sinkers and baits...

Thank you for your feedbacks, greatly appreciated.

Dear all anglers,

I have received many feedbacks from you all and seriously, we value your time and effort to provide us with so much information to improve your fishing experience.

GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Many asked and commented:-

"Why dont you all release the groupers and let us fish for them?"
"We are drivers too....."
"Catch 5-7 fish at the pro pond is considered too little although I just want to fight the fish only..."
Etc...

Ans:-
We would love to do that but from the last operation, the groupers werent opening their mouths to feed and thus many anglers did not catch a single grouper at all.

When we called our last operation "GROUPER OBSESSION", we really did want anglers to fish for them instead of giving away like these. Since Chinese New Year is around the corner, to have a grouper on the table for 'reunion dinner' is something many would love.

Many anglers were disappointed. We are really sorry about it. Luckily, we had a spare net of groupers standing by for 'just-in-case' situation and 'just-in-case' came into play. We had no choice but to give away groupers since not many anglers landed groupers. Hopefully by doing this, we would not deter anglers' faith towards Pasir Ris Pro-Fishing. We even extended our giveaway on Sunday.

If every anglers who fish at our premises have the same mentality as "We are drivers too...", then we would not have to give away fish at all. This will be almost perfect for us as fishing pond operators.

"We release fish and if the fish dont bite, anglers will not blame us at all..." PERFECT!!!

Too bad, it just doesnt happen this way.

Many anglers just want to enjoy fishing and not about bringing back their catches. Yes, we know this. We have regulars who catch and release at the pro pond and they pay the same rates as the rest too. We have anglers who say they just want to fight the fish and dont want fish but at the end of the session, they came to tell us off that... "Wa lan... only 8 fish for three hours... you all got release fish or not?"

Some regulars are super steady. One day one senior guy caught 23 fish in 3 hrs and the next day 5 only. No complaints at all. They will only comment about the weather affecting the bite rates, that's all.

If all anglers could understand what the operators are going through, I believe they will be no complaints at all but I guess this could only be a dream.

Pasir Ris Pro-Fishing and Happy Pro Prawning will continue to strife hard to enhance every anglers' fishing experience with us. We are fishermen too.
