Catfishing at west coast
Yesterday went catfish fishing at west coast over night, total get 5 cat fish XD. Reach there at 9 pm, go home at 3 am. Quite good size catfish too XD
The first two catfish, landed with prawn meat and worms.
A CRAB XD. Palm size one. Anyone know what crab it is? caught on prawn meat
Grey eel-catfish. If i remember properly, you needed a pic of this, right peace?
All the catfish together XD

Re: Catfishing at west coast
Wow, you hit the eeltail's nest, these are the good eating ones. The one I am looking for is the Gemang, but I am not entirely sure if it is the same species as the black eeltail catfish. That's a good picture though a little out of focus, I shall keep it for the time being. Thank you.
Edit: Oh, that crab should be a thunder crab.
Re: Catfishing at west coast
yep they certainly are good eating. meat is soft and tender.

Re: Catfishing at west coast
Most ppl will cook it the Adam pedas way or frying with chilly because it has some very.... fishy taste -.- like when u are eating mutton that kind of taste, just that it's from a fish. So chilly's probably the best way to cover that. I have friends who will fillet those big ones and deep fry them. Had reservations initially, but you'll be surprised how tasty it is. And ya, these are the ways how ppl will cook ah sengs / duri too.
Re: Catfishing at west coast
The black cats are especially tasty ... if you know how to cook it.
Soft tender meat !
Chinese fry it and cook it with black sauce and ginger ...
You can also do the asam pedas way ...

oh...WCP sea there! i see.......gohyuheng wrote:west coast park the sea there lor. day time also have de... just use prawn meat small small one
it's legal right? don't have to keep a look out right? lol
anyway, how far do u cast? or rather, how far u need to cast?
i think if i catch any catfish, i'll take photo and just release. not a fan. lol
Re: Catfishing at west coast
lol. As long as you dont fish at the look out point, you're safe. catfishes swim very near to shore, even my float get catfishes every once in awhile.
If you intend to catch other fishes, I have seen mackerals jumping out of the water just beside the shore. Have also seen people land queenfish, but they throw quite far.
