The groupers continue to wreak havoc...

This handsome young man managed to subdue this 4kg grouper with his light tackle. Give him a Tiger!!! There were also other groupers catches yesterday but I just didnt manage to snap up a few shots due to 'hardcore' work schedule... hahaha. Well done mate!!!

The Promise continues.....

The promise continues...

Hiring models to model with freshwater big head shrimps... kekeke

My dear friend modelling for me... thank you!!!

A sickman's awesome catches...

We have a regular (daily) angler at Pasir Ris Pro Pond. He was sick yesterday and so he fished only 2hrs of his 3hrs session. He came in complaining that he was feeling unwell and thus we urged him to go home. So he decided to pack..... his FISHS!!!

Tempting isnt? I cant resist it too...

Nice barramundis...... at PASIR RIS PRO FISHING. :)

Guess what I saw this morning..... a monitor lizard sunbasking in my turf..... I think next time I have to setup ERP too. Hahaha

Another great angler made it to the olive crown. Well done mate! 

What could be more rewarding for a kid during school holidays than to have his parents out together at the pond for some shrimps fishing. :) Hope to see you all again. 

What is the best baits?

Since I took over the shrimps business. A lot of customers have been asking me a very simple question.

"WHAT IS THE BEST BAIT TO CATCH YOUR SHRIMPS?"

What should I answer them and what would be the perfect answer to this very simplistic question?

"I have enough shrimps in the pond that almost everything that a shrimp would eat would get you a shrimp....."

I know that the above answer holds a high amount of pride and dedication but I would like to confirm with all again, I really release alot of shrimps into the ponds for the benefits of my customers. NO KIDDING!!!

Alright, back to the topic. "What is the best baits for shrimps fishing?"

The answer is also very simple... the best bait that you think and the best bait that has gotten you the most shrimps.

I know that my answer is not really good enough but seriously, if the bait that you use always get you very good results, WHY NOT CARRY ON USING IT?

Afterall, to catch a fish or shrimp, it all pours down to..... ulimately, LUCK.

Just a few days back, I had customers telling me that they fished for 4 hours in a row but they only got 4 prawns. I was very disturbed but after they left, another customer came up to me and told me that he had a very good time. I was confused at first but when I saw his harvest, I know that he is very happy. He had more than 40 shrimps.

Thank you to all those who have support me almost daily. Your contribution to my success is really very important. Plus those who dragged their friends along, your contribution is greater than I could imagine.

Okay okay..... I know that I am drifting away from the ultimate answer....

Best baits (it all depends on individuals' success)

1) shrimps (the very ones that you get from my ponds)

2) cockles (provdied by me, FOC)

3) guppies (pls dont release your unused guppies into the ponds, thank you)

4) small fries (little baby baitfish)

5) sandworms

6) sarongs (another type of saltwater worms)

7) chicken livers

8) pig livers (I know that it is very good but pls do not use this as I have muslims friends who love to prawn too)

9) fish meat

10) earthworms

Hmmm... at this hour in the morning, I doubt I could be thinking too much and especially after some TIGER time...

I need another TIGER...

CRAB INVASION!!!

WTH is the crab doing in my pond??? Hahaha. This crab is a bonus to my regular cusomter. This gentleman actually fished for shrimps 7hours in a row and he won a total of S$10 rebate plus this crab. At the end it, he shared all his catches with everyone at the pond. What a great gentleman!

Saturday night fever!!! This lucky chap caught one of the many giant big head shrimps in the ponds. There were other anglers who had close encounters with them too but the shrimps proved to be a tougher opponent than alot of them. Only Desmond made it to the olive crown. Well done mate!!! Thank you for the support!!!

It has been awhile since Pasir Ris Happy Pro Prawning had such a crowd on Saturday night. People were fishing for shrimps shoulders to shoulders.

Some managed a few shrimps but many caught a bag full. I guess at the end of the day it depends on luck, very much.

The baits might be another issue too.

I will be writing a thread about baits for big head shrimps soon. Stay tuned!

By the way, hope to see you all again at the pond.

Oh yes. Many asked, "Why alot of small shrimps one?"

Yes, I admit that there are many small shrimps in the ponds but as for the bigger ones, you will have to hunt for them.

What do I mean by hunting for them? You have to actually find them. My tip is to fish the walls and the corners and if you happen to hook up a decent one, there will be more around the same area. My few friends are expert in this area and they actually caught many decent ones than the smaller ones. So remember that next time you hook up a decent shrimp, stay at the same spot for awhile as you just might be fishing right above a group of decent ones.

As for quality, my shrimps are all wild stocks and non are from the farms. Thus the texture and quality and taste of the shrimps are very much better. Even the small ones have lots of 'go' (in cantonese) in the heads. Sometimes the size does matter but at times, taste rules too.

First time fishing, first barramundi!

This young boy has his first time experience in fishing at Pasir Ris Pro Pond. Look at that wide and shining grin!

The giant big head shrimps promise...

The promise isnt going to be fulfilled once or twice or thrice. The big shrimps will keep coming and I hope you all will keep coming for them too. For those who have showed your support towards me lately, greatly appreciated. I will keep fulfilling the big shrimps promise. Hope to see you all again soon. Thank you very much.

Mr Kahawara Yashisu San from Yamashita.

Mr Kahawara Yashisu san, from Japan. A field tester for Yamashita - the famous Maria XJ lure manufacturer. Pasir Ris Pro Fishing feels very honoured to have him test out his proto-types in our facilities with efforts from Anglers Outfitter and 2000Tackle. He has a particular lure that our 'pet' - 15kg GT loves it. Almost every few cast, you will see the GT coming after it. With our finesse tackle, we were scared... very scared... luckily, the few contacts we had with the 'pet' didnt connect. Hahaha. Hope to see you back in Singapore again, SOON Yashisu san!!! Please come back soon. More biru and shrimps are waiting for you!

Yashisu san with this supper in his hand. Not just a fantastic fishermen, a great angler for shrimps too. No wonder he could a be field tester for Yamashita. 

Eric was posing for a shot with his freshwater lobster and the lobster got loose while it was hanging in the air and Eric OOPS! A candid shot by chance... OOPS! 

Simply looking at them even with your nose clipped, drool..... with the aroma..... you will beg me for one..... hahaha 

Hmm.... where is my beer???
