Toman Hunting

I was invited to try at this new and secret spot by another friend of mine. Supposed to be infested with huge tomans (snakehead).

Parked my bike at his block, waited around few minutes for another friend to fetch us to Yishun for live baby catfish for bait. Actually it was the first day of the Chinese New Year, surprisingly the tackle shop open for business on the first day. Have a quick breakfast before proceeding to the spot.

Tall grasses and slippery slopes making the walk to the spot from the main road a bit scary. Plus the silence makes the whole place spooky. But anyway, seeing the picture that my friend showed me of his last trip with his 6kg catch doesn't bother me at all.



This trip was a bit special, coz rig and bait was already prepared by my friend. I just need to prepare my reel and rod and even my friend helped to me hook up the live bait.

Although I didn't got any hooked up, I was surprised how the tomans took the bait. Totally half of the eight inches size live bait gone when the toman strike.


The trip only produced a twelve inch toman but at least I had the experience on how to hunt for tomans.
