A Usual Weekend



ZH went Gina Tackle Shop last friday...

IMA Popkey 120 in a discontinued color
Got him to help me buy a lure.
Feels so guilty now...

Anyway, my company held it's Seventh Month Prayers last friday.
Stayed and drank with the guys.
Ling came after she knocked off.


Went home and fell asleep close to midnight...

Went fishing at Spot Banana on Saturday's dawn.
Still felt the effects of alcohol whilst on my way there...

Upon reaching, we were delighted to see that the water outlet was turned on.
This means most temensis in the vicinity will flock there to enjoy the influx of rich oxygen and small bait fishes.

Doesn't apply to snakeheads though...
Snakeheads have secondary primitive lungs which enable them to suck in atmospheric air even when the water gets really low in oxygen.

Very soon, I got this temensis on my newly acquired IMA Popkey:



There were many bites indeed...




Felt sick and nauseous from the after-effects of last night's drinking...

Went to the outlet's mouth and toyed around with my lure:



Captured this awesome video by chance:



It shows a temensis executing a lightning fast strike against a top-water lure.

This is a fine example of why top-water strikes are always exciting.
The splash will be much more explosive if it is coming from a large fish.

Sunday's dawn, went to Spot Mozzy and met 2 regular baiters there whom I happen to know a few months back when we joined hands to removed a net planted by Thai workers.

Me: Nothing
ZH: 1


Baiters: 6 when we left.

Left the place and went to Pierce Reservoir where I caught this 3lb speckled peacock bass:






And by the way, the Berkley Whiplash crystal seems strong and after some dips in the water, it turned softer (which is a good thing).

Only minus point about this line when compared to Sufix 832 is that it is not as smooth.
Reason being that The Whiplash Crystal is weaved from 4 strands whereas the Sufix 832 has 8 stands.

No big deal, I can live with that...
