The last hunt before Hari Raya

The silance of the cool morning of a long Hari raya public holiday ,6.30am ...i cast alone at drain near Bukit Kalam village .

I cast to the drain , in less than second i felt a suspicius bump...that bump became a ferocious Pop!!!...Yehoo!!..my first catch...200grm haruan

Solid hookup...this haruan seriously hurt at mouth . This haruan i take home , tonight i will cook haruan soup...yummy!!

I continue trekking the drain and found this Haruan territory...

After 3 cast with presentation , i had the hit...bomm!!! The fish jumped...Yehoo!!!my second catch..300grm haruan

The haruan seem to love Seahawk mini frog...the mouth of the haruan is tought and lure should be equipped with very sharp hook to improve hookup rate .


This haruan i released back to fight another day

Hari Raya Aidilfitri

To all familys , friends , anglers at Malaysia,Brunei ,Singapura ,Indonesia and whole world....Selamat Hari Raya ( Happy Eid ul-Fitr )..."I seek forgiveness physically and spiritually", for Hari Raya is a time to reconcile and renew relationships with others.

Snakehead of Durian Tunjung village

5pm...Cast at drain near Durian Tunjung village , almost two month i not cast at this area . Today i try my luck

From my observation...the layer of surface weed was thick!

Cast the Eupro Superior frog to isolated bushy area standing out among a patch of weedy water . Just when it hit the area ...Pop! huge bubles soon rose the surface .I gave it a hefty yank...Yehoo!!!..i catch 300grm haruan .

My TICA DJ100 with haruan

Eupro Superior frog proved to be a very effective lure on the haruan


Bye-bye Mr Channa striatus.

Eupro Superior frog VS Snakehead

7am..Cast alone at Bukit Kalam village

My new weapon to hunt haruan that i bought yesterday...Eupro Superior frog ( 55m/m 12g )

At good looking spot i cast acros the drain , retrieving the lura back . The first cast resulted in nothing , not even a nudge . Then i cast upstream with the same result . Stil no bites .When i tried my luck downstream again nothing took my lure , but when the lure almost reached my rod tip , it swam past some weddy protruding into the stream . Definitely a predator ! .Cast again near that area...Pop! one great strike...Yehooo! i catch 700grm Haruan

Great hook up...close up Eupro Superior frog with haruan

My weapon i use today..TICA DJ 100 with haruan

Catch and released...help them survive and recover
