Barra Paradise Part 1

Due to busy schedules in NS finally managed to meet up the pioneer kaki of this blog, Fariz on 29th May 2010. Met at changi at 8am to get live "ammunition" before heading to location via bumboat. Upon landing we each rented a bicycle and headed to a spot we never tried before. The day started very slow with occasional bites from catfishes.Towards the end of the day at abt 5.30pm, the tide was receeding and Fariz decided to cast near some mangrove trees. This time he held on to his rod to sense any form of bite. Instead of getting just a nibble, a predator had taken his bait in a split sec and made a dash for the mangrove. At this point, Fariz was already on hand to guide the fish out of the snag zone. Seconds later the predator emerge from the depths and leaping out of the water flaunting its acrobatic attempts to get loose. Excitement filled our minds as its been awhile since I and Fariz seen a wild Barramundi landed. Pictures snapped and off Fariz go making his 2nd attempt at the same spot. The next thing that happened surprised both of us because as soon as the sinker touched the bottom, Fariz rod made a bend. Fariz who this time was totally caught by surprised rushed to his rod and pulled in a smaller barra than before. It was getting late and we didn't want to miss the boat so we cycled off and leaving a potentially good spot. 2/2 hits for Fariz and zero fighter for me. Congrats to bro Fariz on an epic fishing trip.
