Fishing at Laguna Pond

It was an evening on Friday, I had nothing to do and I don't want to make any appointment because of Friday evening, as always heavy traffic jam. I decided to drop by to the pay pond near my house, opposite the road of Giant Kelana Jaya and behind Shell station.

When I arrived at the pond, there were only few of regular anglers and I guess it was due to the flood. I ask them about their catch for today and they said not really good. Since there were only few people fishing, I started to call my friends asking whether they are coming or not tonight. Some said they are coming, so I decided to fish and started to take out my fishing equipments from my car.

These are few pictures of Laguna Pond

As you can see it still flooding

My fishing equipments:
Rod: Abu Garcia Ultra Cast II 6'
Reel: Mitchel 310e
Line: Relix 12lb

At first, I used hong to casting until seven something but couldn't get single bite from the fish. After that around 7.30pm I changed to floating bread but I was a bit difficult to cast due to wind. I got my first strike and managed to land small lampam about palm size. My 2nd and 3rd strike end up with nothing because of the main line was cut off. I'm not sure whether it because of the fish was too big or my drag was too tight. I loosed up a bit my drag and cast again the floating bread. After 10 minutes i got strike again and this time I managed to land quit big pacu, I think nearly 3kg.

My first pacu

My 5th strike also pacu, but a bit smaller compared to the first one. I got another 3 hits but all end up with the main line cut off. It was another good fishing day, even though I only managed to catch 3 fishes.

The worker there also took the opportunity to pose with the fish
