- Decide on where you want to fish.
You would want to fish in a paypond that is close enough to you that you can get there easily and far away enough to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city if you're seeking tranquility when you're fishing. The sanitary conditions and facilities provided are also some things you should consider. So if you got a paypond nearby that you want to try, don't pay to fish there first, take a tour around, see if you like the place. After all, you're about to spend quite some time stuck there in the same spot so make sure it's up to your own standards. You wouldn't want to fish in a few hours at a pond that has a weird stench do you?
- Decide on your target species
I am focusing on common species found in freshwater payponds as they are more common in Malaysia. Deciding on your target species is important as that will affect the type of rig and bait you will use. The same species of fish, in different ponds, will take different kinds of bait. So ask the locals or the owner first before using your own "proven to work" bait. So don't think it's easy to fish here in Malaysia!
- Decide on how long you want to fish
The duration of your session will determine the amount of bait you have to prepare, and the amount left in your bank account (haha!). Most payponds have a minimum of 2 to 4 hours. Meaning every time you fish, you have to pay for at least the minimum amount of time. Generally, Malaysian payponds charge anywhere from RM6 to RM10 per hour. Some of them do offer packages and midnight sessions, whereby it's generally cheaper per hour compared to normal rates.
Once you've got these few things sorted out, you can begin to prepare yourself for the trip.
