Fun time in Pandan Reservoir

Oops!.....look like this blog abandon for some time, sorry for all my follower, too busy on work and fishing. After intro Kranji reservoir, now come to the West side of Singapore - Pandan Reservoir! This place actually is a quite difficult places, very big, no shelter (except 2 jetty), PUB ppl always around, but good thing is near to my working places, so I always can go there after work for about 1hrs fishing.

Quite upset on the first few time, almost want to give out this place, until one day saw someone land a very beautiful peacock bass, this made me felt confident again. So to become a good fisher man, lesson 1 - observation, what bait using, where is the location, how to retrieve and so on; lesson 2 - keep on trying, hard lure, soft bait, powder & also fly.

After few months (almost one year) of trying, below the result:

Lure fishing ~ first catch on spoon

kranji reservoir, also know as toman haven, but due to heavy fishing, here also become high-pressures fishing places.

Anyway this place is good for newbies like me, easy access, got carpark, got toilet, got tree cover no need fish under hot sun. Before this, i has try out this places few time but always back in empty hand. learn from mistake and asking is the key thing for me to grow and success, after review all my previous act and also asking around at the forum, finally let me hit this toman baby, at least not a bad start at high-pressure fishing land.

Same beach again with Ultra Light Weapon!

Another Weekend, but still the same place again , beach at the end of "Tuas South Ave 8". Actually this places not hard to find, but due to wrong info and lead you to wrong way, beause this beach actual location is just beside the road "Tuas South Ave 4".

Ok, for this time I just want to have some little fun rather than big fish, some I pick some ultra light weight weapon for this time: 8ft prawn pole role, self tie small hook, fine line, soft lure (false worm)

very small hook tie by myself

Horrible small fish that always steal my bait, if your hook small enough , just put into the water than you can get it already.

One of the catch of the day
