Back To Warzone

assalamualaikum

Lure: Berkley Gulp! Alive! shrimp

Leader line: 15 lbs

Hookup: 1

Today i decided to go hunting jack & barra at the place where we called warzone and in the same time im testing my new rig whether its a snagproof or not.. its been a while since i went fishing there and not even once i caught a fish there using casting method. So, today's objectives was catching Jack & testing my new rig.

I tried retrieving my lure very slowly and my lure sank to the deepest area purposely letting my lure get stuck, but yet it didn't! :D Not long after that.. very slowly retrieved my lure making it like a real fleeing injured prawn.. out of nowhere a strong strike hit my lure and pulling my drag very violently. it took me about 6 minutes to land this fish and as the jack reached near me. i grabbed my gripper and yes! an 800gm Mangrove jack landed! after taking a picture ( Thanks to Kenny for the pix. really appreciate it) and admiring the beauty. i decided to release it since i remembered mangrove jack take a long period of time to grow in size and the population of it now is getting lesser.. so i set it free. :)

Practice catch & release

Till Next Time.

Lure: Berkley Gulp! Alive Shrimp
Leader line: 15 lbs
hits: moderate
Hookup: 2

Assalamualaikum,

Today i'm experimenting on my new lure that is the Gulp Alive Shrimp.. i used a Texas style rig and just present it to how deep i want my lure to swim.. the 1st hookup i retrieve my lure slowly so it reach to the deepest area of the water. hoping i would catch a jack. after a few cast i received a hookup. it was very fun fighting with it and this was my first time having to hook a ketambak using casting lure method. hehe

my 2nd hookup happened when i retrieved gulp a little bit faster with jerking action so gulp could flee like a real shrimp.i cast it to the the direction of the flowing current as if the shrimp were washed away by the current. not long after that the barra strike my lure and simultaneously torn Shrimp apart! A very violent fish.. luckily its teeth were nowhere near my leader line.. hehe.. fuhh..

Hope you enjoy the pics & till next time!

Luretest on Snakehead.

My new lure. kinda look like fish..

The 300gm snakehead

Assalamualaikum. Just a quick test on a new lure that i bought for $9.00 this morning. Cast at 12 pm afternoon... Weather was very hot so decided to cast it for few times only. The first and the third cast i received 2 hits in a row. Not long after the Fifth Cast i hookup a 300gm Snakehead.. hehe now i can measure the weight since i bought the new gripper also. Then i stopped casting and went home... conclusion is MAYBE this lure is good for slightly deep water.. around 4-5ft.. so gonna try it again on late afternoon. :D

Till next Time!

p.s sorry for the bad pictures.. my camera is broken already..
