SINGAPORE: For the first time, anglers can take a kayak out to make their catch in one of Singapore's reservoirs.
“We've got lots of snakeheads, peacock bass, and also the marble goby - Singaporeans will call it the soon hock,” said Aaron Ang, founder of Kayak Fishing Fever.Because live bait is not allowed to prevent water contamination, the operator has been experimenting with alternatives. Casting is the act of throwing bait or a lure using a flexible fishing rod. Miss, and your lure could get caught in vegetation or even hurt someone.Watson Ng, co-founder of Yak2Go, the second operator involved, said anglers will have to keep a safety distance of about 10m apart.“It’s definitely more difficult because in an hour you can cast up to a hundred casts ... So physically it’s more demanding, but that is the challenge,” Mr Ng said.
