GT Pond at 113 Neo Tiew Crest

We had such an enjoyable day fishing the GTs at a private pond at 113 Neo Tiew Crest. The four of us, Lawrence Goh, Andrew Oh, Jo Leng & I went there for the first time to catch the thrill of landing these prize fighters, without having to travel all the way to Phuket or the Maldives. The ones we caught, were about 5-6kgs in size; the largest at the pond being about 15kg. We were restricted to using soft lures whilst the owner, Edward chumed the fish to keep them in a tight group just past the little jetty on the far right of the pond. The idea was to cast into the GT group during the feeding frenzy and strike them before they spit out the lure. It took some practising before we started getting the hang of it and soon we were rewarded by multiple strikes till we each landed between 4-5 GTs each.
