Punggol Sea Wall

This cr was based on a trip 2 days before my enlistment. Kakis involved were Fariz and Andre. We reached the spot at around 5pm and started getting bites in the evening around 7 plus. The fishes caught are in the pics below. No big buggers this time.

Pasir Ris Breaker 14 once again....

This trip happened 3 nights ago with my usual kakis.We came at low tide and casted our bait which was peeled prawns. In my first cast I gt double hookups of a flower crab and puffer. Puffer was released of course. As the tide was starting rise back, we moved to wb 14. That was the time my buddy caught a fat Blukang around a 1kg I guess. At around 12 plus, another one of my bud, Faisal had a bend on his 6 foot rod. We were surprised to find an orange spotted grouper at the other end of the line. Satisfied with the catch we packed up and left for home. Well done Faisal!

Mouth of sungei api-api @ Pasir Ris

This trip was about a month ago. Location was wb at the mouth of sungei api-api. The usual bros decided to chill while doing some light fishing. Bait used this time was sliced fish meat. As we were lighting our cigarettes and chatting about life, my bud Faris had a strong pull on his line. Since he was holding on to his rod all this while, he pumped the rod and started reeling in. There was a huge splash in the water at quite a distance so we expected something good at the end of the line. Faris passed me the rod to continue the fight since it was his first experience. After about 5 minutes, a nice kbl was landed. Once again this really gave us quite a surprise. Congrats to my bro Faris to break his rod's virginity to a barramundi.

Usual Spot @ Pasir Ris

This time the bros include Faisal and another friend at our usual spot. The bite rates were pretty slow most likely due to the bad weather. As dusk was approaching, Faisal had to leave to meet his gf. So it was just 2 of us left waiting for a bite. Suddenly my rod started to sway a little which made my anxious feelings get the better of me. I held my rod awaiting a bite. Then...a strong bite came in, reeled in for about a minute and a decent sized Ornate Threadfin Bream a.k.a Kerisi was hauled up. Its been awhile since i reeled up a sea bream and this time it was much bigger than my previous one. Once again it lifted our spirits, telling us that Pasir Ris can be very unpredictable after all.

Pasir Ris Breaker 14

Its off to Pasir Ris again...Being the nearest fishing spot around, me and the two other crew members met up around 4pm and left for Pasir Ris Beach. We casted our rods at our usual secret spot first before night falls. Since the tide was low, only juvenile fishes were caught but they were of the wanted species: Emperor snapper,Grunter and Croaker. As the skies grew darker and the mozzies were on a blood rampage, we packed up while scratching our legs now on then to soothe the itchiness. We then hunker down at wb 14 and set up our gears before casting. Our empty stomachs were constantly growling and in the end it was Mcdelivery to the rescue. Me and one of the crew left the scene to pick up the food from carpark E. During that period, one of our rods which had no stand was supported by a bicycle fell over with the bicycle. First thoughts was a big fish at the other end of the line. So, the rod was pumped and 1 minute later a good sized painted sweet lip a.k.a kaci was brought up. All of us were surprised by the potentials of Pasir Ris and planned on another trip the following week. Well done bros!
