Tilapia trip @ Malau, Jitra

Tilapia in Malau, Jitra
Malau is located country side of Jitra. It is surrounded by mountain & plantation. There is a housing area surround by a big pond & our today target is tilapia in the unknown pond. Since tilapia is not the main target for those fishing in Jitra, we are very confident in this big pond.

Of course, tools must be prepare before we start the journey. Since my father is a snake head hunter, he is very hard to find few pcs of suitable hook for tilapia. After that, I go to dig for worm in our backyard. After every thing is ready, we start our tilapia journey to Malau at 2.00pm.

Without any delay, all of us quickly hook on the worm & start to throw into our target. Anyway, after very long waiting, still none of our bait notice bythe fish. My cousine & uncle start to get bore and talk nonsence. Suddenly, my father stand up & take up his fishing rod. After a short while, a small ikan selat is landed & this is the first catch of the day.

Since that, we start to get bite from the fish. Anyway, all are small little fish with length of only 5~7cm. Suddenlt, my line is pull by a strong force with lighthing speed. I quicky hit it and finally, a bigger tilapia is landed. Contiue by my cousine who landed the biggest tilapia with approx 600g weight.
