Hooked Up: Punggol Jetty Again!!

Two fishing trips in two days but same place. Once again this trip was at punggol jetty and this time it was Dinie and Fariz. After being in army for quite awhile, finally pop for Fariz. Congrats bro. So the day started out with us getting ready at about 3 plus. The bites came as early as the first cast but Dinie missed the fish as the line gt sangkut in some rocks. But the bad luck streak broke with a juvenile grouper which was released unharmed. As it came to about 6 plus the jetty became packed. We were further demoralised when some guy came and just commented on how dirty the water was and there were no fishes here. Bet he doesn't even own a rod to talk so much. Some anglers nxt to us broke the silence by hauling up a duri and unga tanda with their 12 foot rods. Fariz persevered on even though Dinie was getting fed up with the sangkuts. To everyone's surprise, Fariz on a 7 foot rod brought up a blue spotted ribbon tail ray which he thought was trash getting caught on his hooks. Looks like patience bear its rewards. Later on he caught a flower crab and Dinie caught a croaker. It was the highlight of all out fishing trip as it was our first ever blue spotted ribbon tail ray. Congrats Fariz!!

Looks big...
