Secret Spot Revisited

Once again we revisited the secret spot. The crew: Haziq,Dinie,Fariz,Fiq Kong a.k.a usat man,Aidil were on a mission for big fishes. The day started out great at about 10plus when Haziq's rod gave a big bend. Since Haziq was busy eating, Dinie took on the role and reeled in the fish. It was a big one as the drag was peeling off quite quickly. It gave a strong last fight near the waters edge before being subdued. A beautiful duri weighing 1kg plus was brought on land. Next action came frm Haziq's rod again when his gave another bend. Looks like the wat-wat is the killer bait as the bend is from another duri which was a bit smaller in size to the one before.Everything became quite dull and silent after that before Dinie reeled in Taufiq's rod to find a surprise ladyfish a.k.a ikan parang on the other end of the line. It was a dull trip towards the end and the weather was not in our favour. Till nxt time. Pics courtesy of Usat Man.

Secret Spot

The crew included Taufiq Kong,Haziq,Fariz and Aidil. This trip is the best so far in our history of visiting secret spot as there were plenty of fish and at good sizes as well. Haziq gt an usat within 10 sec of casting followed by a decent sized duri. Fariz never seem to disappoint with his next big catch a 1kg plus blukang followed by a gemang. Kong missed a duri as it escaped before reaching land.Aidil was also having a good time using just an aquarium net to catch tilapias at the side of the river.Gd trip in all.

Changi Carpark 5 and Saf Yatch Club

This trip consisted of Taufiq Kong,Taufiq Low,Haziq,Aidil.They went carpark 5 first where both taufiq caught pinang2 and pasir2 respectively. Pasir2 was released. Then they proceeded to Saf Yatch Club where Haziq landed a pinang2 which was a decent size and Taufiq Kong caught a puffer which was thrown back. Here are the pics.

Punggol Jetty Again!!

Two fishing trips in two days but same place. Once again this trip was at punggol jetty and this time it was Dinie and Fariz. After being in army for quite awhile, finally pop for Fariz. Congrats bro. So the day started out with us getting ready at about 3 plus. The bites came as early as the first cast but Dinie missed the fish as the line gt sangkut in some rocks. But the bad luck streak broke with a juvenile grouper which was released unharmed. As it came to about 6 plus the jetty became packed. We were further demoralised when some guy came and just commented on how dirty the water was and there were no fishes here. Bet he doesn't even own a rod to talk so much. Some anglers nxt to us broke the silence by hauling up a duri and unga tanda with their 12 foot rods. Fariz persevered on even though Dinie was getting fed up with the sangkuts. To everyone's surprise, Fariz on a 7 foot rod brought up a blue spotted ribbon tail ray which he thought was trash getting caught on his hooks. Looks like patience bear its rewards. Later on he caught a flower crab and Dinie caught a croaker. It was the highlight of all out fishing trip as it was our first ever blue spotted ribbon tail ray. Congrats Fariz!!

Looks big...

But pictures can be deceiving

Freshly caught blue spotted too big for box?

What a beauty!

Punggol Jetty

This fishing trip plans were last minute as Dinie and Taufiq Kong came back frm ICA building after making new passport. Kong was planning to buy a new rod so we thought might as well go ahead with some angling good time. Haziq picked us up by car at 5.00pm and we were off to the jetty. Things picked up fast when we reached there as Kong brought up a Scat also known as Ikan Kitang. Then out of nowhere a barramundi a.k.a siakap was spotted swimming near the jetty. We tried using a whole dead prawn to entice it but to no avail. Suddenly, Dinie turned his back to see his rod bending . It took him less than a minute to bring up a good size sicklefish a.k.a tudung periuk.His first btw.haha. Haziq managed to catch a baby tiger grouper which was released unharmed and Dinie caught an small emperor snapper. The day ended with lots a usats which were released back. Great trip to remember!
