Freshwater pond fishing 20/12/09

Wanted to go bash and lure on Sunday but it was not possible... haiz... To scratch our itching hands, we went to check out the new fresh water pond that opened only a couple of days ago in Bottle Tree Park - Fishing Paradise.

The price was $35 for 2 hours (CnR) with a T-shirt thrown in free. Even though it was rather expensive, we decided to try anyway. At the end of 2 hours, the only thing we had to show for our continuous effort in casting and retrieving several different soft rubber lures was... this photo of the view...

















Good to see, not good to fish




There were quite a bit of surface action, especially when fish pellets were thrown in by the tackle store staff, but the fish didn't seem to be hungry or aggressive enough to want to take lures. We felt something a couple and times and when we tried to strike, the hook came back with a scale impaled - obviously not a bite!

We were terribly disappointed and thus were easily persuaded to spend $15 for 2 hours at the other freshwater pond at Farmway 3 by our friends Desmond and EH.

















Men at work




The situation here was much better! Well, we still did not manage to land any fish, but there very many takes and 2 short-lived fights (hooks probably weren't set properly). Moreover, Desmond and EH landed a Chao Praya catfish and a Pacu respectively, not to mention several extended fights that ended prematurely thanks to crossed lines.

Well, if we want to go to a freshwater pond next time, you know where we will be!
