| One participant in the competition shared that Goong Lake is a freshwater lake, so freshwater fishing skills are needed, such as not needing large bait. Freshwater fish usually eat algae, plankton, and smaller fish... so the bait is usually quite simple, fragrant, and small in size, mainly crickets, worms, bananas, cockroaches, ant eggs... In addition, commercially available fragrant baits are also quite effective in attracting fish. Photo: Sach Nguyen |
