Pond Fishing in Permas Jaya?

Went over Permas Jaya, Malaysia (again!) to go tackle shopping. Usually, it's shop and eat then go home, but this time... There was time to check out a fishing pond!

















Will all anglers go home happy? :p


Prices were definitely cheaper than Singapore! Weekdays - $35 and weekends - $40, for the standard 3 hours. With the exchange rate hovering around S$1 = RM2.4, it works out to be S$14.60 and S$16.70 respectively!

Well, it's actually not very fair to simply compare the prices without looking at the catch rate, but you must admit that the difference in price is very very significant! Of course, this is not inclusive of the costs involved in driving there lah...

















Sheltered area for the rainy/sunny days.


Live prawns are sold there at RM0.80 per piece. A bit of quick calculation will tell you that S$10 will get you 30 prawns - only slightly cheaper than Singapore prices. However, anglers there were spotted using dead prawns with success, so... maybe you can save the money?

















Keep net for the fish - we saw 2 to 3kg kim chews swimming inside!


No matter what, it is highly likely that we will go and try it out one day. If we do, you'll be the first know! :)

Hi Im Dennison,

Will you be able to share the address of this fishing pond?

Sorry we don't have the exact address, this is directions to the pond from FK forum by T-Rex. "From the Permas jaya bridge, drive straight all the way to the cross junction. Along the way you should pass by a BP petrol station and a MacDonald's all on your left. Turn left at the junction, upon the left turn you should see Jusco on your right. Drive straight all the way till you see TCE tackles on your left, a few car dealers and then a petrol station (Pro Jet) on your right. Another 200m down is the unused Caltex station, there is a small path just in front of the Caltex, turn left there. You should see a sign board for Happyland fishing pond. Turn left at the sign board and just follow the road. You should go pass a small driving school, a run down car workshop and a power station. This road/path is very ulu, so go slow, after the power staion is a downhill followed by a right bend, after the bend is a road hump, there is another road hump 150m away, get ready to turn right at the 2nd Happyland sign board after the 2nd hump. The road to the main enterence is a up hill dirt road. Pass the main gate and you should see the pond on your front right side."
