Bedong Angling Park,Sungai Petani is now officially Open

The pond where we had our family fishing competition is now officially open! Here is more information from MFN Forums :

Dear fellow fishos & forumers,

Just to announce that Bedong Angling Park which is located at the outskirts of Sungai Petani is now officially Open! Bedong Angling Park is also the first catch & release sportfishing pond in Northern Region. It's also on group booking basis only.

Bedong Angling Park has 3 retention ponds which caters to private commercial Tigerprawn farm and now the 3 retention ponds also serve as a fishing paradise for sportfishing anglers with it's semi-wild habitat and species. A couple of lunker Barramundi above 10kg are still lurking within one of these ponds which have yet to be landed.

The nearest hook-up of that lunker was yours truly... I was fishing for Brackish Tilapia few months back and while I was fighting the fish halfway on ultra-light, from no-where the 10kg+ Barramundi swam from the side and swallowed the approximately 400g Tilapia WHOLE and sped off! Yup, and you are right, my 4lb mainline burst without giving me any chance to even fight the Lunker! It has been my nightmare ever since and it also has been my dream to ever have a fair fight with it again if given a chance.

Ok, enuff of true story telling and back to more details of Bedong Angling Park.

Species of fish: Barramundi, Golden Snapper, Tarpon, Ladyfish and Brackish Tilapia.
