Singapore fishing spots that are publicly known are shown on the map. Some places are accessible, while some requires some form of transportation. Some places are comfortable, clean and well lighted. Some areas are mosquito, sandflies infested, and need some roughing out.

Generally, the water in the east area is cleaner and better quality. Water in the north tends to be dirty due to the rubbish from both countries facing the strait. Water in the west is quite polluted due to the industries and factories around the area. Furthermore, large area in the west are out of bounds.

Fishing is no longer like yesteryears, but there are the ocassional surprises. The best known public fishing ground is probably Bedok Jetty, where scores of anglers convene every weekends to jig for tambans and aim for the biggies.

For those venturing “overseas”, there is Pulau Ubin, and the smaller islands like St John, Kusu, sister islands for the visiting. However, it is no longer cheap to pay a visit to the islands, except for Pulau Ubin. Semakau is opened for lurers at a pre-determined timing, but the trip is guided and controlled and only luring and catch and release is allowed.
