IF qian hu were to set up a commercial prawn fishing pond

[TuNA]

Prawning pond most impt is the catch rate and cleanliness.
"Loh jiak loh jiak" like Bishan, people will come from all over Singapore.
BBQ pits and essentials must also be provided for free.

Sounds great, if can provide BBQ service after prawning or fishing will be best.

its a great idea to be able to enjoy seeing all the fishes at retail area then go pond for prawning or fishing =)

IMO, Qian Hu has been a family hangout where kids can have their fair share of fun in fish keeping. You guys have done a good job at the kids section. Introducing the prawning section will draw more crowd if parents can also enjoy fishing while their children have their fun nearby. The key word here is nearby. Being a parent, facilities are best designed if the whole family can enjoy a day out interacting w kids and other families.

My two cents

Haha. Dont need too much space to do a simple catch and release pond and a prawning pond buddy. I think it will be a great idea and will definatly attract even more crowd visiting the farm.

Foul hooking the fishes this way is rather in humane.
