Hi YS,

That is an interesting idea and especially useful for newbies whom do not know how to tie hooks, use what size of sinkers, length of leaders and all that.

What is the duration for the course? just 4 hours and 1 session?

Cheers,
Edy

I would not want to include basics like tying hooks/knots as they are readily found in many websites/forums/books.

Yes, just 1 session of 3-4 hrs.

If course structure is too wide, probably needs 2 sessions at a higher cost.

Overall structure should revolve ard info written at following thread but will include fishing at HB/SCS

Hi Yew Seng,

Theory only makes Jack a dull boy. How about including a practical session (e.g. day or overnight trip) in the program and upping the fees accordingly?

All the best in your planning.

Hi YS,

Another good idea. Grant Pereira used to give many talks on fishing in Singapore/Malaysia in the 80s. Most of his talks were held at the National Library I recall.

cheers

Hi Khoo,

Thanks for your input.

Will include practical session onboard a boat to be an option. Need to have fairly good prospective nos. in hand first as not all can make it on the same practical date.

if the course includes a practical session, i think it would be better.....

Hi,

Thanks for your input.

The arrangement of a practical session have to take into considerations factors like
1) tackle requirements for different fishing ground
2) different boat used for different ground
3) anglers experience/exposure level & appropriate practical session
4) different pricing using different boat
5) different pricing for different ground

It's feasible to combine theory/practical for long range trips to HB/SCS using time spent while underway to fishing ground but the same may not be true for local trips as travelling time is rather short & most gets distracted once anchor had dropped

Alternatively, course is structured differently based on practical session fishing ground/location

Hi NightAngler,

On a personal note, sessions for both short and long trips would be a good alternative.
This way, participants would probably understand further the different requirements/conditions/prices fishing at various locations.

Just my inputs.

Cheers!

P/S: I am quite keen to take part provided the overall costs is reasonable.

I am interested. Count me in

[Lancer]

I'm interested too. Leave out the basics such as tying knots and stuffs, it will make the course boring. Most imptly is the practical lessons, can learn much more efficiently this way. Even for short trips on local waters can also teach on the spot too.

Maybe you can provide different course for different levels i.e. local water course, Tanjung Pinang course, SCS course, marlin course etc.
