GT Pond Round 3 !

This is my 3rd trip at Edward's GT pond.. heard that there is a new batch of GT which came... my friend book a slot.. and for some reason I was back in Singapore just in time to join them. How lucky!

Reached there early so started to prepare our tackles for the WAR!


Errr..... not with the Koi la!


Time for some warm up casting!



Anthony saw some surface action and cast it straight for our first strike at the GTs !! Pump pump pump !!!




First one burst.... omg first try and its MAN 0 - 1 GT. Nevermind try again ! And the line bursting event started.... everyone started bursting ! Omg that was hell... the score goes down to 0-8 before we landed out first GT.

And the sick thing is it was landed by our good friend Botak setup... Xzoga jigging rod with 10lb line Zzzzz.... 20lb burst, 30lb burst, 40lb burst !!! How the hell our friend land a GT with 10lb line !!





The score is 1-8 Yahooo.... the humans are fighting back hard...

Another GT landed and its by botak's 2nd setup... pengz he have all the luck that day...



And the last fish landed for the day ! A Black GT.. took 3 of us to land this one. Giving Anthony's majorcraft offblow a good workout.

Ponggol Fish Farm (Singapore)

Ponggol Saltwater Fishing Pay Pond

Located near punggol end jetty.


The owner is a the former pond owner of Yishun salt water pay pond. Or some people call this place Auntie pond.


Cool place with 2 ponds and a large free carpark. The current pond outside is still under repair. Only the pond further inside is open for fishing from 9am to 9pm.


The pond have lots of different types of fishes eg. Barramundi aka KBL, Mangrove Jack, Grouper, ACK, AK, etc.



You can buy live prawns as bait from the pond. Air pump, Landing net and keep net are provided by the pond.





My tackle Shimano Bassterra 5.0 Ft paired with Twinpower 1000.







End of the day only caught 1 Ang Kuey which I just release it back into the pond. The spot is near the fish release net area. On the day I when it was a friday and only 3 people fishing during that early morning period so the owner didnt release any fish but still all of us manage to land some fishes... for me I had a biggie that when right under the net... one way train till my land burst. Tried that spot for 3 times all 3 times the fish when down and under the net... next time I will change to a thicker main line to play at that tight spot.

Will try this pond again when I go back to Singapore next time.
