Karak, November 2012.
After last March's fun Tilapia outing at Tampin, N9. Me & buddies were again invited to do tilapia fishing cum BBQ session at one of the private farms in Karak. We arrived at about 2:30pm & the first thing that greeted us there was a heavy down pour. We didn't do any fishing till 4pm. Although most people would say farm fishing is easy. Like any form of fishing, it also depends heavily on the weather & water conditions. There were 6 anglers, all experienced fisherman but surprisingly, we only manage to bring in about 30 Tilapia after some 3 hours of fishing. Generally, the fishes were very cautious with their feeding. Although we manage to work them into a feeding frenzy by frequently tossing out bowls of pellets into the immediate fishing area, the fishes were smart enough to avoid pellets rigged to hooks!
