About Me

My photo
Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia
At present I am retired and spending my time mostly on fishing and photography. I bought my first SLR way back in 1982. It was a Minolta XG1. My last film camera was the Maxxum 9000. When the fantastic Sony Alpha 100 was launched, I changed over to the digital system. My Alpha 580 was acquired followed closely by my Alpha 77.

My main interest in photography is lifestyles, sports, sceneries, nature, birds and macro shots. Lately, I have spend more time on bird and nature shooting. As a regular contributer to some fishing magazines, I shoot quite a lot of photographs of anglers too....hence my photography blog is named 'SHOOT THE HOOKER'.



Having grown up near the confluence of two, the Kangsar and the Perak Rivers, it is not surprising that one of my main interest is fishing. My younger days were spent swimming and fishing.... with a bamboo pole, line and small hooks.Now while fishing, my friends and I do take a lot of photographs of anglers in action. The anglers must be careful so as not to accidentally hook on to a photographer. So I think as a reminder, I would like to name my fishing blog as 'HOOK THE SHOOTER'.

Sebaraus of Pergau.

An acceptable size.

CS Fong, Joe and I at the
Pergau office.

Just before turning off
from the N S Highway.


Joe caught the most sebaraus.
Fong with his toman
I only found out during
 this trip that Fong is
a really good cook.


My biggest sebarau
of this trip.
A map of the Pergau Dam.
Pergau boats are well built,
but will sink stern first
after a heavy downpour.
The first time I went to Pergau Dam in Kelantan was quite a number of years back. Then, the boat promised to us never appear and we were left stranded on one of the floating chalets (actually almost sinking huts). Needless to say, the trip was a total disaster.
The direct opposite was true on my second trip there recently. With C S Fong (Editor of Rod & Line) leading the way, Joe and I had a gala time fishing. If not for a tiny mishap, the whole trip was a roaring success. Well, actually mishap is rather too strong a word for that incident. let us just term it as a hiccup.
The fibreglass boats of Pergau were well built and strong. The only drawback was when fitted with a 25hp outboard, it was a disaster waiting to happen. Should there be a heavy downpour and the water not bail out, the boats will sink stern first.
It was on this trip too that C S Fong cut me down to size. All along I prided myself on my cooking, but on this trip I realised my shortcoming.
