'tho with a different group of friends and different set up
flotilla of houseboats line the shore
loading our gear onto the houseboat ... houseboat instead of water chalets
been sometime since i last stayed in one
been wanting to have a go with one of these groups ever since seeing their regular catches
Bewah was our port of call this round ...
unfortunately, it didn't rain a single drop the four days we were there
def not good for those of us who target hampala barbs (sebarau)
pretty barren, too, nary hide nor hair of baitfish
which means no predators in the neighbourhood either
some members of the group managed to get but 'twas a far cry from the 'usual'
recent feedback from those who're currently in kenyir gives hope
bait/bottom fishing at night was more fruitful
netted a coupla catfish
as usual the big ones got away ... not an angler's tall tale
just the more down to earth forgetfulness that i was using circle hooks instead of the usual
that forgetfulness led me to strike when i shouldn't have ... *sighhhh*
thrice the rod and reel combo was yanked without warning ...
no nibble, no shaking of the rod ... all was quiet and enough to put one to sleep
the next instance, rod&reel combo almost became kenyir's new permanent fixtures twice over
fantastic ... wanna return for that
despite the downgrade in facilities from what i'm more accustomed to
till next monsoon season ... !
