About 1 month back, Rapala angler KH in Northern Malaysia reported in that a new catch & release pond had opened somewhere in Semeling, Kedah. With Bedong Angling Park and the now defunct Kakilai pond providing thrills to lure anglers up north, this pond is sure to add to the action - with Barramundi starting from 3kg and above while Mangrove Jacks above 1kg roam the waters.
Initially I didn't think much. In my mind, I thought it was just another paypond... until the pics arrived. To add to the 'poison', Jeffroman also had the opportunity to fish the pond that same weekend and sent in pictures as well. This warranted for an exploratory trip up there!
Here's what the boys reported in two separate trips:
Giant MJ on Rattlin' Rap
They also fancied Twitchin' Raps
BTW this is a Glidin' Rap and not a Twitchin' Rap. You can estimate the fish size ;)
Self-explanatory: This pic and next two, itself was enough to warrant me a trip to go up there and check this place out!
Jeffroman's precious Shad Rap mutilated by a monster. Sign of being bullied.
That's a nice Jack

More to come...

Great catch.
ReplyDeleteGood if there a map for the location of this pond.
Rapala rocks.
cheers
It would be nice to see how well the Rapala Barra Magnum does. It is built a lot tougher than the other Rapalas so should resist the barra crunching. so maybe you could try it next time.
