Merry Christmas to all! & A Happy New Year 2009!

On the christmas eve i didn't go any casting trip. But on the 28 / 12 / 08 & 29 / 12 / 2008 I went for a short trip to a pond near my wife house in Kota marudu & My friend, Boyd, pond at KG Popok Kota Marudu.

On the 28 / 12 / 2008, i tried out the pond belong to my in law at my wife village. the pond are large and also had some of the snakehead there. i use my berkley powerbait grub with a liitle spray from the spray scent. only for about 5 cast onwards, when i rest the sp on the bottom for a while, suddenly when i just move it and came a strike! the snakehead try to run away with its prey. but not for long i strike back and the snakehead jump out of water. i controlled it before i landed it in. its a large 1 too! i weighted it and precisely it weight for 800 grams! maybe on another evening i would like to go for this pond again. still got some larger 1 there.

On the 29 / 12 / 2008, i contacted my friend Boyd. asking if he is free to bring me to his in law pond at KG Popok. I sms to clay if he wanted to join, surely he reply quickly with a happynote to knew that its a new pond to him to visit here. we went to pick Boyd at his home and drive to his pond. the wheater is not good, but the quality of the water still maintain well. we cast for only a short time of 1 and a half hour. Clay manage to get his catch first, before i get mine. Clay using his inline spinner + berkley grub had manage to catch 3 of the snakehead and i only got 1. But to my surprise, when i was ready for a last cast, suddenly there a smooth strike pulling my berkley grub. i retrieve it back slowly, and to my surprise its a strike from a TILAPIA fish. Wow! a bonus catch of tilapia today! then it was starting to rain again and we pack home. Maybe some other time we would like to stay for a day at Boyd's pond.

Today i was on my way to a new spot i've spotted at noon. This time the water are in good motion. and there were some rise from the snakehead. But only this time i pick the BERKLEY POWERBAIT CATFISH ATTRACTANT POTION POUR that i've seldom use. I pour a drop onto my bomber bushwhacker spinnerbait colorado blade. and another drop on the colorado blade itself. i cast to the sight i had seen a rise... 1st cast no strike, 2nd cast, still silent, on the 3rd cast suddenly my lure being bite! strike! i quickly pull it up and there is my catch for today. a 400 - 500 grams of snakehead landed. there were some children playing around and they also amazed with the lure and the ways to catch these snakehead. then i continue my cast to the small drain upwards. on a sectionof the drain, i cast out my lure, there is strike on the 1st attempt, wow! what a good results, but maybe not the catch to be, the strike loose and the snakehead got away. feww... what a miss! then i saw the skirt of my lure being pull out of position, and i quickly put it back and reach another bomber bushwhacker green colour with leaf blade. i cast towards the same spot, and not to my shock. its strike back, and not a good strike this time. only bubbles came up to the water. then after that i only got few miss strike and i went back early. the BERKLEY POWERBAIT CATFISH ATTRACTANT POTION POUR also a good scent to pour at your lure, be sure to try it! ;o)

the spot where i caught the snakehead with

sight casting from the snakehead rise.

Today, i went back to the placed where i got my 1st snakehead on lure. the site was cleared weeks ago... and the water are still muddy during this rainy season. i thought i would not getting any catch today. i cast around the area and although the water are muddy, i still can see some other fishes rise. i'm waiting patiently for the rise of the snakehead... suddenly, after 10 minutes, i saw a rise on the edge of a culvert inlet. i quickly cast my bomber bushwhacker behind the rise, letting it fall deep i began to retrive my lure. in my shock, only 2 round of retrieving i got a huge and hard strike! i strike back to make sure the hook are pin well inside the mouth of the snakehead. the snakehead gave me a good fight. only about 30 second then i saw its rising. but the fight still going on until i brought it to the side of the small drain. fuuhhh... what a relieve when i got it up to land. a solid and fit body of the snakehead. my lure also getting more damage after the fight, the frame are getting more unaligned and the frame almost pulled to straight. i really shock with the fight from the snakehead, only weight around 500 grams - 600 grams. this are the first ever snakehead in this size i caught gave me a very good fight till the end.

Today, i went to the spot of the usual pond at cly's village for snakehead hunting again. this time i use the spinnerbait of strike king. After several cast & miss strike i got from the snakehead there. i save back my strike king spinnerbait and i set up the bomber bushwhacker spinnerbait with colorado blade. i was try to lure out the snakehead with the huge vibration from the colorado blade. this time i got strike just before i want to pull back my lure from the edge of the water. the snakehead trying to steal my lure with a ferociuos strike! but i manage to settle down with the strike and with clay helps, we pull up the snakehead. a good sizes of snakehead measuring 700 gram to scale. but my bomber bushwhacker lure was pulled almost straight and a part of it also unlined by the strike! after realigned the frame of the spinnerbait, i tried it back, and its just going back to its presentation. only the first cast after the catch my spinnerbait got huge strike again. this time the snakehead trying to runaway, but maybe not a solid strike, when i strike back it doesnt hook up. maybe just a single catch today. ;o)
