The Revisit series focuses on reviewing some of the ponds that I have previously visited to give my readers an update on the ponds that I frequently visited. Kolam Pancing Harmoni has been my go-to fishing pay pond ever since I picked up fishing. I have been a regular customer for almost 3 years now. Click here if you want to read about my first visit there.

The entry payment is still the same, RM 30 per rod for 8 hours of fishing. One of the reasons why I like this pond is that the payment is very reasonably priced. Even better, recently the owner has made an update to the pond regulations: For every fish that you catch that is 9kg and above, a RM 10 reward is given to you. The reward has no limit, as long as the fish you landed is brought to the weighing counter with a net and the rod you used to catch it, leaving the hook in the fishes' mouth as a proof of catch; or "boll" as we anglers call it.

A "boll" means that the fish is caught with the hook in its mouth, a sign that your bait has been successfully eaten by the fish. A foul hook (fish caught with hook attached to anywhere of its body except its mouth) however, will not be rewarded.

The pond has been renovated and more sheds have been added to the pond. The ground has also been cemented so that anglers do not have to walk through muddy soil to get to the sheds. 

Across the pond from my shed are the newly constructed sheds.

If you look closely, there are a few more new sheds on the left across the pond.

During the trip, I caught my first Asian Big Head Carp, a.k.a. Tongsan using a V-Rig with marshmallow baited with Butterscotch bread. Learn more about the V-Rig here. Besides that I have also managed to claim a RM 10 reward once with a 9.915 kg Patin. Close call!

New species! Tongsan carp. 

Just managed to squeeze into the reward weight range of 9kg and above.

The fish that won me RM 10.

The Patin was caught using pellets as bait. Learn more about how to catch Patin catfish here. I landed a total of 5 fish throughout my 8 hour session here. Not the best session but at least I didn't leave home empty handed. 

Strawberry infused 6363 pellets with a bomb V-rig.

All in all, this pond has received very good reviews from many freshwater pay pond anglers, including myself. Just avoid coming on Fridays and weekends if you are a novice because the crowd can sometimes be too overwhelming.

Tight lines and until next time,

Wisey.
