Legal to fish at Kallang river?

I go fr e quick n fast whack to e head but must whack many times to kill it.

 

Tough head to whack.

 

Saw my late granny whack the head until her hands and surrounding all bloody and gory then the bugger mati.

 

Not a scene a primary school boy then could forget easily...

Haha same experience but with the freshwater shrimps or what they called 大头虾.

 

Caught many in one of the prawn fishing farms, brought them home and kept them in my aquarium which was empty at that time.

 

Here was a shot I took after placing them in the tank:

 

 

 

They tore up my mosses and the drfit wood but we did not eat them eventually and did a CNR some where instead...

 

wow... you keep planted tanks too. i had that too until was too busy to cut and my tank became a forest. could have ask you to bring your shrimps over to trim for me

used to fish them with my dad in certain part of singapore. seen a crocodile and i tried to fish it. my lure hooked on the crocodile.... but cant pull it in. luckily i managed to disloge my favourite lure out from the crocodile.

 

 

Crocs were common in e hidden n isolated places we fished. Some quite big.

 

Some anglers used to hook them wh very heavy tackle fr a good fight.

 

The scary part is when i saw babies. That means those crocs were breeding in our reserviors.

seen that too. i was wondering why my granny was hitting so hard. that was a long long time ago

i even spotted a group of small baby toman with the mother....

 

Be careful.

 

When I was young I tried to catch these cute orangy striped fries with nets in a large pond one time and got attacked by presumbly their p!ssed mummy.

 

The 1m long bugger rammed my legs and it was a frightening experience .

 

Managed to escape with a few of the babies though.

[Pisces69]

i see. maybe i will ask them when i go there again.

 

the children garden also has a group of toman. we fed them with bread. what a sight! i only wish i had my rod and lure with me

 

i even spotted a group of small baby toman with the mother....

 

I didnt know toman ate bread. Only carps we caught wh bread.

 

Toman is usually lures or meat.

really? i tried pulling but i guess my line was too weak cuz the crocodile didnt even move to me. it was swimming away. my first cast was very close to it's mouth. it tried to bite but luckily it missed. on the second cast, my lure got hook on the back and i tried to reel it in. no use at all. best part i asked my dad can i try to catch the croc, he said you can go ahead and try. (knowing that i wont be able to catch it....)

wow... you keep planted tanks too. i had that too until was too busy to cut and my tank became a forest. could have ask you to bring your shrimps over to trim for me

 

Not freaking way I am placing another batch inside

 

Took me a while to restore the tank back to its former glory.

 

Here is the latest shot:

you went in to catch.... the mommy is known to be damn aggressive. i used to cast around the babies and definitely you can see the mommy coming straight to the lure and every single time

 

luckily it didnt bite you

you can go try at children or eco garden. they ate everything except the worms that we bought from the LFS. i think those worms are for birds? they even ate the crickets. yes, my children went to buy stuff to feed them

[Pisces69]

wow... you keep planted tanks too. i had that too until was too busy to cut and my tank became a forest. could have ask you to bring your shrimps over to trim for me

 

 

I also had a 4' planted or dutch tank.

 

The challenge was to balance food fr plants n light so fish n plants live together.

 

But with tank lights on it was really beautiful.

Was it e peac0ck bass? That 1 more aggressive than toman.

 

I think it was introduced into our reservoirs to control e tomans.

We used earthworms last time and upgraded to chicken livers later.

 

Few years back saw they used live catfishes to fish at Kranji Reservoir.

 

They caught one monster and placed it inside an army groundsheeton the ground filled with water and tied all four sides to a tree.

 

The proud owner played with it and held its gigantic head up which showed its huge sharp teeth.

 

The scary part was when the monster snapped its jaws, there was a loud tud sound.

 

Imagine placing your fingers inside...
