for e.g in singapore jettys do you all use floats to fish
or just use the weight and multihooks catch can liao?
and is compressed bread good as a bait ? -
humm jetty should use a sink and prawns/ sotong / worms as bait but ultimately it depends on wat u want to catch..

True mah, it depend on what u want to catch, if u want to catch small normal sea kammong small fish for nasi lemak, bread will do, if u want red snapper, barracuda, stingray, promfret and sea bass etc etc, u need to invest in sea worms, live prawns or worst sotong. If u go for shark or merlin, use fish soak in deep fish blood ya.Originally posted by siansterr:think too much liao larh you
And as for jetty fishing, it is not deep sea fishing, u must use a float as the bottom is rocky and your hook will get stuck very often without a float ya. If not, u will find your line stuck and u r going to loose alot of hook with snapped lines. Moreover without a float, your bait may just lies in the holes btw rocks or debris. The pound and diameter of the line is also critical on the fish you wanted to catch. Most importantly, u must know what lies beneath, what are the fishes in that area.
For deep sea fishing, u definitely dun need a float. The way the fish eat the bait are of 2 kinds, one is pull and let go, one is pull all the way, the one that pull and let go are smaller fish with smaller mouth just o chip on the bait, the one that pull all the way are big fish lor.
Just to let u know something about fishing ya.
Knowledge from my brother, actually i dun know anything

For a float with a light sink, the catch mainly are like sea bass and a few other types, which i also dunno what the name in english.
For those with sinks, mostly small groupers, red snappers, etc.
There is a a few fishing kaki local webby around.
Fishing on a boat is better, but i seen a few of adventurous ppl cannot take the ups and lows on the sea, so itz up to u. -
hmm thanks guys...
i think most prob i will fish for smaller nasi lemak type of fish...
but if using a float.. what is the length b/w the float and the sinker? i scared if the length too long then cast that time very difficult.. -
humm depend on the jetty..if u goin bedok jetty then y not try using a size 5-7 hook the small 1 and a sink.. u can try using dead prawns as bait but be in for a long wait as the jetty is usually crowded if not another suggestion is u try ur luck at thoses big stones where a few uncle fish around there..chances are u can catch small grouper and some other fish with dead prawn and size 6 hook..try to not fish at night..alot of c0ckroaches and the smaller fish would be sleeping already best time is morning and evening
humm the length is usually by estimation..but if u dont want the trouble of making ur own hook which is better then u can buy the already made ?kuning? hook spelling not sure thoses with feather on the hook 1 then also prepard more then 1 set of hook as u can easily lose ur hook in the rock beach of singapore 
finally watch the tide and plan ur fishing trip happy fishing -
the one at nicoll highway is fish what thing ah?
why they always go midnight -
yah i got the many small hooks rig with those shiny feather on it... gona try my luck tml...
-
at night mostly big fish already wor
yup..good luck hope u get good catch..oh ya...when casting remember to look behind -
2day go bedok jetty use the multi hooks + sotong baits.. we forgotten den put it wrong direction upside down... but still caught a few small fish but after 3-4 hours in the styrofoam box den they start to pengx one by one coz too hot and no oxygen... later one uncle saw our upside down hooks den say we noob.. made the tsk tsk tsk noise and teach us other tactics and show us which multi hooks to use...
later we try his tactic and multi hooks which he con us for 2 dollar (outside sell 1.50) can catch the long long fish(dunno call wad).. but the jaw beri sharp and jumping around so 1 malay guy help us take out the hook which is stuck deep inside the throat.. argh
den later we throw away the smaller fishes + dead ones around 6 of them and gave about 3 nice one to a malay auntie go cook curry...
go bedok jetty should go to the end of the jetty (T-shape) or jetty halfway to fish? -
if you're not going to keep the fish, release them ! ... please don't let them die in your pail and then throw them away ! ... do your bit for conservation ! .... -
uncle say you noob
-
ai ya i also always get the hook from one of the uncles its worth it la anyway they made the hook themselves... anyway those fish can eat 1 la tat time i 1 day catch abt 50 odd of those fish den i make fren with 1 of the uncle he pass me another box den i bring home cook and eat. Go fry it crispy and u can just eat the whole fish. very crispy and nice, can forget abt the bones also.
btw its call taman (spelling) hook. During november like tat can catch Sek La. Which is slightly bigger. den taman. the long long head fish usually useless to me i usually give them to those uncle who catch big fish. the second fish is sek la. the last 1 is taman -
farking sian... last weekend fish for 2 whole days not even 1 fish. knn farking tulan sia.
