Another trip to Malau

Another trip to Malau
Still remember my last post of fishing trip to Malau, Jitra? Again, this post is another fishing post in Jitra to Malau. Last trip, the main target is tilapia, whereas for this trip, we focus on more fish type where we use fresh water prawn in the pool as bait. This pool has been used as fishing competition venue, so there are many kinds of fish can found here include tilapia, lampan, cat fish, snakehead & very strange siakap.

Bait
Orginally, we want to search for worm as bait. For me, worm is the most powerful bait where every kind of fish also love it. Anyway, it is very difficult to get worm during this very hot season. So, we can only catch the prawn from the pool as bait.

Match start
After catch few prawns, we start the fishing. Very soon, my bait attracted one target. This fish start to bite with very soft & politely. Suddenlt, it pull the line with very quick & strong force. Of course, with that it is very easily landed. Out of expected , it is a small ikan lampan. From my extimation, it is only 10~12cm. Anyway, this is my first ikan lampan jawa& certainly it recorded in my personal record. Compare to tilapia, I think ikan lampan is fiercer than tilapia.

Today, we get very great respond from the fish. Very soon, my father side also get a small tilapia. Whereasa for me, another ikan lampan is surrender. This is another type of ikan lampan which I dont know the name at all. Anyhow, until now, we still cannot get larger fish.

Suddenly, my father quickly take up his fishing rode with very serious face while talking to me. Very soon, a small red tilapia is landed. And this tilapia has become our first red tilapia from this pool. For the following 2 hours, we get very great respond from the fish & most are 10cm ~ 15cm small fish. Most of them are tilapia & some are ikan lampan.

Before go back, we throw our last try. Very soon, my father's bait attract a fish but he miss that. While my side, a sudden force pull my line away & I quickly get respond. Out of expected, a larger red tilapia is landed. Again this red tilapia also recorded in my personal record book. With that, it end today fishing trip.
