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.

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.

Barra Paradise Part 2
Location:Barra Island
Bait:Live Prawns
Date: 03062010
Met my fellow regulars at changi in the morning to stock up on supplies before our trip. Took the usual bumboat ride to Barra Island and off we set to the usual spot. Weather was scorching hot that day. Nevertheless we carried on our pursuit for the prized barramundi. It was around noon and the sun was high up. Terry and Kimberly left the spot for awhile to get some drinks and left me in-charge of all the rods. As I was busy minding my own business trying to get the heat off my mind, I took a peek at my rod. The line was awkwardly tight with a slight bend at the tip as if I had a snag at the end of the line. I made the decision to give a pump and reel in the line. There was a bit of weight to it but no fight. Expecting a branch or a plastic bag to emerge, instead a decent sized mudcrab was actually the culprit. Unhooked the rather agitated fellow and tied it up. Abt half and hour later and my two other kakis were still not back yet. Once again while minding my own business I could hear a screaming reel coming from one of the rods. "ZzZZZzzzzz!!!!" goes Terry rod as it was bending into a U shape. This was my chance and I dashed to the rod and gave a slight pump. Fish ON!! It was also a fighter. The fish kept swimming left and right before breaking the surface of the water. With no one to assist I had to bend down to the edge of the water and pull the fish on land. Mission accomplished. A healthy 1kg plus Barramundi landed. Called the kakis and they hurriedly made their way to my location to see what all the fuss was about. Took a shot with the prize. My first battle with a wild Barra for 2010. Truly epic!

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.
