Fishy Tips

Tip No 1 - For coastal fishing, get a tide chart and learn how to use it.

Tip No 2 - Always try and get fresh bait. Catching it yourself can be fun too.

Tip No 3 - Use the lightest sinker you need for the job. Sometimes this will only be a very small one.

Tip No 4 - Become good at tying important knots. Get a good knot book, learn to tie the Locked Half Blood Knot and practice it.

Tip No 5 - Read as much as you can in magazines like Fishing World. There are heaps of really useful things as well as heaps of good pictures.

Tip No 6 - Never touch or handle a fish or creature that you can't identify. It might bite or sting.

Tip No 7 - Get a good fish identification book and study it.

Tip No 8 - Always wash salt off your fishing gear, including hooks and lures, after you've finished fishing at the coast.

Tip No 9 - Try and have a freshwater tackle box and a saltwater tackle box. This will protect your freshwater stuff from rust at the coast.

Tip No 10 - When you are not using your reels, keep them in a dark place, like a draw or cloth bag. Sunlight damages fishing line very quickly.

Another King Prawns Defeated..!

This afternoon we went for another king prawn fishing also at the Belait river...though our catch is far less than before but this time we managed to catch the largest king prawn that we ever catch before...!

Osman opening his account with this large king prawn...

This is our record catch...a 300g king prawn!

The king prawn stretches almost 2ft in length....!

Look at those long claws...are they called claws or pincers?? ok whatever...this large king prawn gave a tremendous fight and we were surprised when it finally landed inside the boat that it was actually only get hooked on one of those small legs...what a luck!

Which one is bigger the one on the left or the one on the right..?

Syazni's king prawn on the right...Osman's king prawn on the left...or the other way round???
