thanks mike for reminding me about the gill net. i totally forgotten about the gill net.
i have checked the gill net at the local tackle shop. they are about RM10-RM15 (depends on size) approx US$3.00 - 4.50.
i think its a good thing to have in the fishing kit. i have used them before to catch some fish at the lakes.

just to share with everyone one of the lakes in my area (its about 500m-1km away from my house.
