I have already been asking around for local deep sea charters all around Wetnam for quite some time so you would be sorely disappointed if you bring your baitcasters along

But please do let me know if you do manage to find one, we can go on an exploratory trip

Asking a first-timer visitor to Wetnam to go cheong into all other touristy-not-so-friendly districts without even knowing if they can speak basic Wetnamese is never a good idea, unless you think that making such comments will be able to elevate your self-perceived online status as being all-knowing or experienced, but as I have already advocated above I will still respect your counter-views as you have your own reasoning & agenda here

i think its gonna be difficult to find a boat man for sport fishing. Left a few light tackle spin rod there. brought back my offshore rod alr.

the few boats that i went up, they are more for sightseeing/ tourist to make extra bucks. They are definately not cater to sport fishing. But the charter is actually quite cheap. between 80 - 120 sing. so no complain loh, take it as sightseeing trip.

Francis Bacon, in Essays, 1625:

Artisanal Anchored fish aggregating devices(FAD). Tied some coconut leafs on a float to mimic a flotsam and anchor this to boulders or tires. The aim is to bring in the fishes. This is Pao Jiak one. It beats running around in the deep blue sea. Fishing is luck but hopefully this will bring the fisho more luck. Fishing is also a patience game, but the result is worth the wait. Unjang is a low tech way to fish. You no need to go to the fish, the fish will come to you. It works with sales, it works on girls. You only need to press the hot button. You need only to ask wood questions. Happy fishing in HCMC.

Well no right or wrong here but by all means go for it if anybody is adventurous enough & as what our fishy friend have said above, please come back with a story or some stories to tell here

1990 ???!!!! Our timeline like same same plus minus 5 years

Was baiting for fellow fisho and bagged 2. I like going to Gina’s, they know how to service my shimano reels. She was also my customer so I would get my nasi lemak fix when she called to replenish stocks. I like Changi Village for its institutions like Charlie’s Corner. The people, th place is unpretentious

(this was posted on purpose to illustrate a point)


See my point above??? It is always easier to throw the blame to others as being "sensitive" instead of admitting that oneself had posted too harsh/insensitive/arrogantly

Anyway just a friendly advice (if not required than my sincere apologies in advance), you might want to think back on why those trolls kept targeting you and not anybody else that had always been humble or respectful in all their postings, if you still think that you are right than by all means go ahead with whatever you deemed right as I am a nobody to say or insist otherwise

Most of the fishes are those freshwater catfishes but quite sizeable as I have seen them brought up those 5kgs & above not a very good eating fish tho.....

Dont think its even possible, cause most VBs get seasick or even carsick easily unless its those from native fishing villages

Anyway I dont mix Fishing with the other one that also starts with F, cos I can only concentrate on one at a time
