Pasir ris main pond fishing. How does one differentiate between a big fish and those nuisance small fish bite?
Have seen people cast as far as possible and slowly reel back. When a real fish bite, they "strike", but sometimes they seem to know when small fish(those thousands of tilapia in the pond) bite and they don't "strike".
How does a "real" fish bite feel
and how does those tilapia fish bite differs ?
Most of the time, i get those small fish bite and try to "strike" and get nothing :-(
Many many thanks in advance. Any help/comments greatly appreciated :-)
Those experience one will know when exactly to "strike"

KBL and grouper takes have more impact . Once they take , they will run .
Loosen/ feeding or lines are for skittish fellas who had a fear of being hooked again (bad experience), or those who just grabbed onto the bait (but not the hook yet), BUT not recommended for people who do C&R, cause even with circle hook, there is a higher chance of getting gut hooked.
Like what you said cast out prawn and reel back.. Have saw and experienced success with this method..
Baiting and parking also works, but I feel lesser chance than spinning..
So usually I'll spin until tired and rest and park, when got energy again start spinning:)
