Squid Fever - Part II

We were back to Pulau Berhala again after a month........This time we are doing some video shoot of Squids VS Lady Anglers..... ( Hope they have beginner's luck ) Round One - Island fishing session.......
MARUECHI Egi Lures Squid Jig series......... Which to pick......
Sea condition was not too bad..... I managed to land one.....But the squid only took the bait far away from the rocky coast.But how about the ladies? Can they cast that far out? ( It's quite windy.... )
After showing them the right way and some tactics...... up came the squids. This was a second time for Sharyl. Cheers! Good catch!!! Oops! This is a good size......
Not bad......
What a bummer! Mine is even smaller......
Lunch time......
Round Two - Boat fishing session......Choosing the right colours will lead you to good results........Catherine was not doing so well on the island session....... But, excellent on boat. However, the same cannot be said for Sharyl 'coz she forgot to take her seasick pills (resulting in her resting most of the session)....Ha Ha Ha!!
Wonderful catch my dear.......
Double hits...... Cheers!!!

Family outing

Last week, me and my family went up to Fraser's Hill for a refreshing weekend....... On our way there, we passed by the Kuala Kubu Bahru Dam....... Look at the dam, my god this is the first time I saw the water level of this dam dropped this low. And one of the inlet also dry up, leaving a small stream, snaking itself through the valley...... I wonder where the fishes have gone. Maybe it is a very good chance to fish here now.......

This is our accommodation at Pine Resort.......
Lok Si was excited and had fun running around the balcony......Wow! My dear, isn't it too early to learn Pole Dancing.....
At night, I caught a couple of giant beetle Chalcosoma caucasus (Dynastidae family).....Awesome! The view in front of the Pine Resort......
Having fun at the park...... Fraser's Hill is indeed a wonderful place for a family outing.........

Dry Season in Air Kuning

Last weekend, Hoe & me went up to Air Kuning for a one & a half day video take on Peacock Bass Fishing.......Air Kuning is now it's driest season....... a lot of weeds are floating prominently at shallow places,
and a lot of bait fish can be seen hiding among the water plants...... So. we started aiming around the vicinity of the water plants......And this is our result......Even though in this very dry season, the theory is never wrong that finding the bait fish first will result in finding the predatory fish........Remember this, the big fish aways go after bait fish that hiding within the waters...... Water lilies at it's finest charm.......
After a day of fishing under the hot sun...... I managed to land 10 fish and 5 losses for the first day......Next day morning we returned to the same spot...... Saw a cobra snake swimming across the lake.....
It even got aggressive with us by showing its attacking stance when we got too near it for a snap.....
Even at the same spot, the result this morning was no where near yesterday's...... Only these small fishes entertained us.....
We noticed there are some schools of fries in the open waters. Upon closer inspection, we believed they are Peacock Basses..... So, I started to cast at the fries, SUDDENLY a big strike beneath the waters....... Ta..... Daaaa- A 40cm up mama Peacock Bass.....
A papa Peacock Bass caught in the same way too......We call it off in the afternoon...... with the result of total 5 fish landed..... On the way back, we found this bait fish Ikan Lohma on the top of the open water..... and It had the teeth mark at its tail, we believe it was attacked by Peacock Bass......
