Cheers

Mikey,

Just tested a new pond that is scheduled for opening in January.

You need a decent drag on your reel to stop the GTs in this pond. There are plenty of other species in this pond and they all fight much better than any pond I've tried.

If you're keen you can e-mail eduardlong@hotmail.com

Went for a trial last week and was told the GTs there take poppers with gusty. Was rather doubtful but on the 1st cast at a school of GTs resulted in instant hook-up. These fellas are dirty players like their wild cousins as they head straight to pylons and structures around the pond.

You'll probably need to use 20lb line with a 4000 reel with a good drag to stop these GTs but you'll still face problems when the biggies (around 15 to 20kgs) take.

The guy who runs the pond has stocked it with an assortment of other species - so if poppers don't work, rubber lures definitely will.

E-mail Eduard and get more info from him if anyone is interested.

Cheers,

Chris

HO HO HO Merry X'mas to all

Wow... GT & Groupers Sounds like a good place to test drive new gear to me Thanks for the lead Chris. Good place to test out my new luring outfit. Will drop Mr. Long an email right away.

Marky, my new toy is more for shore fishing at Changi Beach Club, Kelong Boardwalk.

Hi all! Am new here.

Ever seen a 5-6kg garoupa jump more than a feet out of water?

I saw it in this GT pond, it was trying to snap at the popper but missed.
Was hoping to see a repeat of this stunt but after numerous non fruitful cast to the same area, I gather that seeing it once was already a great bonus.

Yo guys, I just got off the phone. Had a good talk with fish lover Eduard. From the short conversation, I got to know that Eduard isn't out to make a profit from this new operation and merely to cover cost of running a C&R pond . Eduard told me that non-members to the pond can only book 3 days in advance and members can book a week in advance. That sounds like non members have to fish week days most of the time, at least for the first few months after the pond opens. THEREFORE, I can confidently say that I WILL NOT be fishing at the pond anytime soon.

Oh guys, according to Ed, the pond is stocked with GT up to 20kg Remember to bring the BIG GUNS if you're going to fish there

Mark, I broke two Daiko TRV (Type R/one spin & one bait) some years back. Both rods broke in the same area so no point making a claim if it's a manufacturer's design fault. Also broke a Daiwa Procaster Z Interline before... never claim, repair myself Sometimes too much hassle to change and not cheap too Only one rod I claimed warranty cos my friend broke it and offered to pay for the warranty claim
