Yes, We could not believe it but we had absolutely nothing to show for it after almost 5 hours of fishing ($50 for 5 hours). After the unfortunate accident which prevented us from fishing in Permas Jaya, we could not resist going to a pond. We arrived at Ed's Pro Pond around 730pm and witnessed 2 hits. One fish was landed and the other apparently threw the hook. Encouraged, we started fishing.
All was quiet till 8pm when some fish were released. Contrary to our expectations, which was that a few fish would usually be landed immediately, only 3 fish were landed - at 10 minutes interval!
The next and final fish we saw pulled out of the water was around 11pm. From 730pm to 12 midnight, there were about 8 to 10 anglers but only 4 fish caught! To be fair, we saw a few leaving with fish. Was it that the fish stopped biting and went on a fast when the sun set?
During the 4.5 hours, we used a variety of methods and baits. We used a float and also did bottom spinning. We used live prawns, live milkfish, peel prawns and even lures! What did we get in return? Zilch. Kosong.
The water condition seem ok. We saw fish - Sagais, Snappers and a Taiwan Ngor - swimming past in the clear water, but why didn't they bite?
Haiz... Maybe it has been too long since we have fished at a pond and we have lost our touch? Maybe we should continue to save up money for overseas trips then...
