sunday fishing: De Gual Fishing Pond- Red Belly Pacu !!!

Location: Gual, Rantau Panjang, Kelantan

I'm not gay!!!

I'm not a pay pond addict either.

I bought a house a couple of years ago. And it is in a walking distance to a silverbarra fishing pond.
I swear in the name of Rapala factory owner, I never actually go there and fish. I have to admit, once a while, because of the ultimate boredom, i went there to watch. since January these year, i think, i went there twice.

It is because i'm not that kind of person.

I'm not a gambler and i hate gamblers as much as i hate mosquitoes.

Most pay pond have a scheme or game , lucky draw or some sort, where you have to pay extra ringgit just to make you eligible to win big money if you landed the biggest catch of the day/week.

THAT IS SIMPLY GAMBLING!!!

I am a muslim. A good one. I pray 5 times a day and don't gamble. Thus, i don't want to be anything near gambling. It is not prize money. because you have to pay to win. most of the time, you paid for nothing!!! that is pure gambling. the scheme, IT IS CALLED JACKPOT.

But, i am a supporter of a good pay pond that is built simply because the owner wanted to share the joy of fishing and make as much profit as possible without the element of syubahah (bad).

If you are a follower of my blog, you must know about Pok Tih's pond. It is a good one. Simply built for fishing.

There is another good one i stumbled upon when i was in Kelantan few months back.

It is situated in Kg Gual , few kilometers from Rantau Panjang kelantan.

From Kota Bahru, just a few kilometers from the imigration complex, there is a fire station on your right. opposite of the fire station, is a small dusty junction to kampung Gual. The fishing pond is about 3-4 kilometers down the road.

RM5 per hour with minimum 3 hours. That is the price you have to pay to fish the red belly pacu.

Patin, tilapia, lampam and keli are plenty. But most of them come here for the red belly pacu.

You are free to use any method/ technique as long as you don't trouble others. I saw few locals came with traditional rod made from bamboo. There are no restriction on selection of baits.
you can use animals organ, soft plastic, 'dedak', worm, lure, spoon, dry flies etc....

It is operated by a local as a part time. The owner, is also working , as a teacher.
He said, the pond got restock every thursday afternoon. So it is best to come in Thursday or Friday.

Whenever you are in Rantau Panjang, you can try this pond out.
