新仔 shouts: "阿辉, want to go fishing?"

阿辉 bursts out of the room with gleaming eyes

阿辉: "Kor, you mentioned fishing?"
新仔: "Yup! Want to go?"
阿辉: "OF COURSE!! 明哥 joining as well?"
新仔: "Yes, go pay pond to fish, later then decide which one to go to.."

So we quickly showered and prepared.. off we go to pick 明哥 up! We later decided to head over to Ah Lim Fishing Pond to try our luck again after a defeat the previous time.. Had a quick lunch before driving down to Lim Chu Kang.

Location Address: 70 Lim Chu Kang Lane 6F
 

This is where you turn into when you're along LCK Lane 6F:

After driving through the gate, keep right and you'll notice these two cleaner toilets with basin and clean water tap on the right that makes this place a wonderful place if considering bringing your OCs (wives) along.. It is about 2-3minutes walk from Ah Lim's Pond, there are some big sized dogs around so please do not let small children wander around..


This is the front view with the toilets on the right..
Entrance - see that left road, please turn towards that direction and continue driving a few meters you will reach Ah Lim Fishing Pond's main entrance.. 
Exit - see the tyre markings coming out and turning towards us from the right? That is where you drive your car out of Ah Lim Fishing Pond by driving one round around the pond. 

 

This is at the main entrance of the fishing pond, you will be greeted by a cute signboard on the right.. 
 Operating hours on the bottom right..



 After parking our car by the side, here are some pictures taken around the pond..



Almost 1/3 of the area is functioning as a filtration unit..


 Impressive filtration..


They do sell Live baits - Milk Fishes and Prawns



A picture of the cute small groupers in another pond.. I think it is a sure catch pond??


Look for this storefront, you will make payment here before you start fishing.. They sell some fishing gears, drinks and hot food such as french fries as well..


Find Ah Lim Fishing Pond on their FB page!


The Damages...


Ah Lim Fishing Pond's Catch & Release giants and accompanying free hours!!

CnR Rules for Sea Bass (Kim Bak Lor) and G.T.


When you hook up a G.T. please do not bring the fish out of the water by yourself.. the bosses are friendly and will help you handle the fish with a lip grip and let you take a photo if you wish to..
 阿辉 was lucky to hook up a G.T. (the very first one he ever caught), had 11 minutes of fun with the fish and the boss was very kind to teach 阿辉 how to hold the fish to prevent getting injured by the fish's sharp tail for photo taking..



Fishing Bait and Single Hook Rules..


Some views of Ah Lim Fishing Pond..



If your line gets stucked on the net, please avoid pulling and breaking the line.. ask the boss for help and they are very friendly to help you remove the hook from the net.. Please do not abuse their kindness to get a good casting "spot" near the keep nets..


阿辉's set up that caught the G.T.
Fishing Empire now have a lot more confidence in the fishing gears that we are selling! Now we know that these gears do put up a strong fight apart from their beauty!! 





Ang Kuey


 Ang Chor Kee


Ah Lim provides large keep nets for you to tie to the pillars..



Ah Lim also provides air stones for your live bait!! There are a series of these air tubes along the benches.. and the place is relatively clean!

1 Taiwan Ngor,
3 Ang Chor Kee,
1 G.T. released,
