Due to over fishing, the numbers of snakeheads decreases drastically and most of the time, I see fisherman does not land anything. The popularity of tasik prima slowly dying ..... until the appearance of Peacock bass in late 2007. According to a source, the peacock bass in Tasik Prima originated from Subang Lake.
We had great fun even before the news of the availability of Peacock bass spread out.
Development around the lake started in 2010 and so does the reclamation. At least 10% of the total area of the lake was filled for lake side housing development and land based fishing was reduced as banks are fenced up due to development.
There was a period of time, the Peacock bass went missing. You really don't see them anywhere and you don't see people fishing them up. There was some netting activities in that lake and I thought the Peacock bass was all netted up.
After awhile , they are back bigger and stronger....
It was great fun ....... for now. Not sure when it will last.
** All the fish was caught and released.
