Barramundi of Banting

It was a saltwater pond located in one of the village in Banting. The entree fee for this pond is only RM3.00/rod and you can fish for the whole day. However, you are not allowed to release any fish that you catch and you need to pay extra RM15/kg for all fishes that you landed.

The speciality of this pond is that it allow any fishing techniques even lure casting and fly fishing which most of the local saltwater pond owner doesn't allow.

Barramundi on Crazy Charlie

Well today I decided to do some fly fishing. Using a 3wt outfit and mostly using white-coloured Crazy Charlie pattern for this application. I did bring my baitcasting outfit but the fly fishing is really intoxicating :-).

As for the lure casting part, I let my friend to do the job.

Lastly, the fishing only can be started at 8:00am until 12:00am midnight during weekend. After several hookups, we only manage to land the total of six barramundi which costs us RM46.00. It was fun but by 12:00pm we had to leave due to the hot weather.
