4kg ray on virgin 15ft silstar coaster

Location: Punggol End
Bait: Dead Prawns
Date: 05122010

Was missing out on fishing for quite awhile and I was on my pre ORD vacation at Bandung when I received a rather surprising post on my facebook wall. Gave the bugger who posted it a call (overseas) and screwed him upside down for landing a sizeable ray on surf before I did. Elfie a.k.a Elfred Jeggings was very much as surprise (as I was reacting to the picture) when he reeled in the fish. First thoughts running through his mind was a tonner tyre and he almost gave up to snip his line. Luckily Faisal was there to encourage him to pump the tonner-like culprit out from the depths. When a 4kg brown stingray finally emerged both of them were screaming with joy and enjoying the moment. Took a couple of shots and posted it on my wall. The part where I was pissed was that I was stuck in Bandung and couldn't be there to share the moment. But still it was trip labelled as Perfecto!!

Trip was led by Elfie and his cousin. Elfie's persistance finally paid off as he landed his first ever 1kg plus barramundi on his second trip. Kudos to you bro!

Barra Paradise Part 4

Location: Barra Island
Bait: Live Prawns
Date: Sometime in June

I was missing out on this trip due to work commitments.Received a call from them at around noon as they gave me the good news of landing two barramundi at the usual spot. My regular kakis Faisal and Elfie were involved this time round. Faisal managed to land the first barramundi on some other anglers rod. Apparently, the angler gave Faisal the luxury of battling the bugger for him and both parties were glad that a healthy 1kg barramundi was safely brought up. A few hours later, Faisal rod made a dive and this time he made sure it wasn't a miss giving his trademark pump to set the hook. Finally a barramundi to call his own as the last one on the previous trip was idioticly but accidently released by yours truly, me. Everyone was happy, Elfie who was although emptyhanded still patiently waiting for his first barramundi. The first barramundi pic not taken.



Looks Like REDEMPTION

Barra Paradise Part 3

Location: Barra Island
Bait: Live Prawns
Date: Sometime in June 2010

Fine day for fishing. As usual me and my regular kaki Faisal proceed to Changi to stock up on bait. Arrived at our spot at around 10 plus am. Set up our gears and made our first cast. Weather was really hot though as we gulp down our ice cold drinks every now and then. Perserverance and patience in the blistering heat paid off when my rod gave a bend. Quickly grabbed it and set the hook. The second I pumped my rod the majestic Barramundi emerge from the water and made one of its acrobatic leaps in attempts to throw off my hook. It's attempts failed however as I got the situation under control. Landed the beauty and weigh it and it was registered at 2kgs flat. Next action came from Faisal rod, as a fiesty Barra also gave a strong run, however was later subdued coming in at 1kg. Tired and sweaty, we left the spot at 5pm feeling very satisfied.

The two barras together
Victory Kiss!!
