Pure Fishing Malaysia, the Abu Garcia brand owner and Mercury is bringing an interesting workshop on boating tips and fishing from a boat together with casting tips.
It is going to be held at Syopz Mall at Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus and if you can make it here, I suggest you do not miss this interesting workshop. Pop over and say hello.

Event Pictorial Report [29-Mar-14]
Before the event proper, guests had the opportunity to fish at the lake in the middle of Taylor’s University, which is usually off-limits to fishing. Big striped snakeheads (haruan) lurk in the waters and some participants came as early as 7:00am and true to the adage, at least this time around, the early bird catches the worm as three decent sized haruan were caught early and it went quiet after that.
Spokespersons from Mercury engine shared with everyone about the workings of outboard motors and thruster. This was followed by boating and fishing tips joined by Marketing Manager of Pure Fishing Malaysia – Mr Ming, seasoned angler – Christopher Tan and Rod and Line editor – CS Fong.
Pure Fishing Malaysia is very committed to promoting recreational fishing.
There is very little, or no selling at all at such workshops. What guests gain when they attend is knowledge, especially those who open up and ask questions.
Free goodies are common and some lucky ones will likely catch some fish, too. Don’t miss the future workshops or clinics and, if you have any suggestions as to what you feel you want to learn, see or experience – Pure Fishing is only ever willing to do whatever they can. Get in touch with them, or leave a comment here and your wishes may just come true.
Awesome workshop…never joined one..my wish..it’s a pretty big one…promoting recreational fishing is one thing,second thing is getting the word out to the authorities.If the authorities step in and help with promoting it,I think it can turn out with some good results.More people commited to sustainable fishing,less ‘no fishing’ spots and maybe producing fishing licenses,just like in the United States.The fishing industry can help in boosting the country’s economy,dont you think? Just a little thought from me,
awesome effort from Purefishing and you guys,keep on going,don’t stop :D
Long Live Sportfishing
We value your input. Educating both the public and authorities is a long and slow process. We’re doing it and have been at it for years…, very slowly we see bits of results and hope more people will do their role of practising sustainable fishing.
Thanks for the support and hope to see you at one of the events some day. Tight lines.
