Ubin

Prelim is finally over! Time for holidays/studybreak...This time the crew planned on a trip to Pulau Ubin, a bbq/angling fiesta! We tried a new spot which was known by the locals as Aik Hwa since we've been hearing stories of ppl landing good fishes there. The morning started out rough with heavy downpour. After the rain the fishes seem so quiet that not even one of our 10 rods gave any obvious signals. Pest like usats that are always plentiful only got hooked up twice. A few hours before the van picked us up Haziq,Dinie and Elfie decided to leave the rest and try out Sungei Puaka. As soon as we made the first cast, the rods start to bend like mad. As we were anticipating the arrival of the fish, the identity of the fish was still a mystery until Elfie brought up a 1kg plus Blukang. Decent size but not decent species of catfish though. This followed by Haziq who reeled in another Blukang at 2kg. Next another of our buddy, Yee Chien arrived to bring pliers. He didn't miss out the action as he reeled in another blukang which was smaller then the first two. Lousy day at Ubin but the experience with friends is still a memorable one. Enjoy the pics and funny video..

Pasir Ris Beach

This trip happened today as Dinie and Taufiq a.k.a Usat Man were god damn bored. So it was 4hrs of relaxation and angling time to soothe the boredom. The only fish worth bringing home was a flounder a.k.a sisa nabi which was caught by Dinie. Taufiq lived up to his name by catching a baby usat and a baitfish. No hard feelings mate. Don't worry man...one day u'll catch a record breaking one such that catching usat will no longer be a laughing matter.

The only catch worth to be in a picture

SAF Yacht Club Revisited

This trip which consisted of Dinie,Haziq and Siva happened on the 3rd of august next to SAF yacht club. We met up and started fishing at about 12am until 4am. Although Haziq didn't manage to break his fall when he slipped on the slippery breaker, he managed to break the silence for that night by landing a duri and a gelama consecutively. As we were about to leave some friendly chinese guy gave us a 1kg plus gemang which was brought home by Haziq.

Why the long face? Haha

From the top: 1.5 litre bottle, Duri, Gemang, Gelama

Boat Trip : Singapore Waters

Haven't been updating the blog lately so here are the cr's that hav been piling up. First and foremost would be the boat fishing trip that Dinie's dad went on. He came home with a 3.5 kg sandray and an ungah tanda. He said he gave away the groupers he caught to the people who wasn't that lucky on that day.Here are the pics.

BARRAMUNDI LANDED!!!!

A celebration night for the crew as the first Barramundi a.k.a Siakap was landed to set a new record for us.This trip was led by Haziq,Taufiq,Dinie and Fred .The night started out with Haziq landing a decent size Blukang on floater as the live prawn on the hook died. Next Dinie missed a couple as his floater was pulled in. Fred caught his first fish on rod and it was also a Blukang. Taufiq had a quiet night with landing two small baitfishes. The Barramundi story started with Haziq abandoning his floater to do luring instead. So Dinie and Fred decided to stay at the same spot and have a good chat about personal issues. As Haziq and Fiq came back to pack up to go home, Dinie and Fred also went up to pack. Suddenly out of the blues, Dinie turned to see his floater missing from the surface of water and his rod was bending at a huge angle. Its ON! Dinie fought the fish as it went right and left until the identity of the fish was revealed by its acrobatic leaps out of the water. Dinie shouted "Siakap!! Siakap!!" as the fish was brought to land and the hook snapped luckily not in the water. Everyone was overwhelmed by the catch as it was unexpected.The siakap's weight was 3kg. Finally...the legendary siakap has been landed! Best trip so far!!
