Haruan of Kinabenua Water gate


7pm...cast with Mr Ridzuan near the Kinabenua Water gate

I found small drain near the water gate...my saliva immediately dripped . But i didn't harbour any high hope..it was alredy late, after 3 cast with Surecatch Froggy ( Glow ) , i had the first hit...the fish jumped!

Yehooo!!...I cought 500grm haruan using Surecatch Froggy ( Glow ).
To friends out there asking me some tips about haruan bite,here some tips i take from Rod and Line magazine...there two types of haruan takes the bait . First , it's the hit and run style . Once you feel a load while retrieve your bait with a long stretch af bubbles folowing suit in your bait area . Usually,the fish already hooked .
Secondly , you can feel a gentle tap on the bait and a round of bubble surfacing at your bait area . You have two options , either give it strong yank or you can wait a little bit longer while pulling the bait slowly and strike when you feel a slightly heavier pull .
I normally opt for the first option because the appearance of the bubbles means that it has opened its mouth and mouthed the bait. Also,it's more exciting ti see the haruan and jump , compared to wait and strike!
