Posting by Xian Wei: After a tiring trip to Penang/Ipoh, my family and I went fishing with our cousins at the Fish Valley Semenyih. As it was our first time fishing, we were actually feeding the fish!! The charge was RM10 per fishing rod for unlimited hours of fishing at the small pond - less than 3kg fish pond (Big pond will cost RM20). If you want to take back the fish you have caught, you will need to pay!! After that, we asked a man to teach us how to fish and put the bait to the hook. The hook accidentally poked my finger. It was very painful. But it was not deep nor bleeding. What luck! The bait was actually fish pellets but we had to put in some water to soften it. The lump looked like poop! He showed us an example how to throw the fishing line and when he threw it you must NOT stand behind him. Waiting for the fish.....We tried and tried, but we ended up feeding the fish. When we had to go home, we finally got it! But we did not get a single fish .....:( ...

They are found in clumps between the Nipah palms. A pleasant journey with cool breeze. White egrets - friends of the river Finally we saw the  cage fish breeding   farms dotting the sea, about 3km from shore.  According to our guide, Nibong Tebal has the largest fish farms i...
