Deas Aman Pond

This pond is a salt water pay pond in Deas Aman, Selangor.

LDP towards Sungei Buloh, you will have to pass a RM1.60 toll. Continue towards Sungei Buloh direction. On the way you may have to take a U-Turn just before Sierrama/Valencia flyover. After the U-Turn, you will see a Caltex petrol station on the left hand side. Turn into Desa Aman after the petrol station. You will notice the fishing pond on your right hand side after a sharp turning along the road.

This pond charges RM55 for 5hrs + 1 hr free. and RM3 to join the jackpot prize for the biggest barramundi caught in the week. Usually the prize fish is 5kg and above. Same in a malaysia forum that the guy caught a 9.6kg but fall short as the 1st prize go to a 14.9kg catch.

Below is during a annual cleaning up of the pond. It took them 1 month to clean up the pond and do the repairs. Can see that the drain away all the water and how deep the pond is. around 3-4 meters from the look of it here.

Bangkok 18th Oct 2008 Barramundi Fishing

18th Oct 2008 went to bangkok for barramundi fishing. This is a private pond near Bang Ba Kong. This is a barramundi catch and release pond. Ah Ton is our guide for the day. This is the 3rd time I am fishing with this guide and I am very happy with his service as the fishes is getting bigger and stronger each time I fish there.

My friend Alson who caught the most fishes that day.

Splin in action. The weather that day was good for some sun tanning.

Main reason for me to get this reel is because of its color and design. After much advise from my friends in Fishingkaki.com when down to Kepong tackle shop in KL Malaysia and got it for RM1200 which is around SGD500.

First time using this reel in my thailand barramundi trip scare the hell out of me as I never know how light the drag is when a 5kg barramundi takes the lure. Very fun and challaging reel to be used. Give the reel a real workout.

The side plate of concentric, drilled circles is breathtaking, don't worry about water getting into the reel from the holes. A plastic shield fastened to the backside of the plate to guard against entry of foreign elements.

Casting using this reel is like effortless even for a baitcasting effortless casting don't really sound possible. As many people who is new to baitcasting reel will be feared by those stories of bird nest. The aluminum cast control tension knob has a micro-click for fine tune adjustment.
