There are many hidden 'treasures' in Mandai. So one fine day, we decided to explore this place to see whether we can find a good fishing spot. I also needed footage for my video - the one that I had posted in my previous post.
The journey was not easy. It brought back memories to the days when I was still in the army.
The difference was, this time I was carrying my fishing rod instead of my rifle and lures instead of ammunition. We passed by a couple of lakes and tested our lures. There were a few strikes on our surface poppers but did not manage to get a hook up.
Diving lures were not suitable at certain places as there were lots of weeds especially at places like this.
Weather was hot and our water supply was running low. We decided to look for shady areas to fish instead of acting hero and fish under the scotching sun.
When we arrived at a shady spot, there were a couple of bright orange gourami playing around in the shade.
They show no interests on any of our lures. After a few more casts, a couple of surface strikes and misses, we decided to call it a day. Though we did not catch anything today, I had a few nice shots and footage of the area. The scenery was nice and indeed it is a treasure. Hope more natural places like this can remain untouch and not develope into another urban area.
