Lorong Halus

Went fishing with the old kakis Dre and Shai at lor halus yesterday night. Only one fish was landed that night, a 700g orange spotted grouper on dead prawns. Let the pics do the talking.

Boat Fishing: East Coast

Went on a boat trip with my dad and uncles on saturday night, eve of national day. The water wasn't that good but we managed to haul up a couple of decent fish. My dad struck first with a 2kg kaci followed by one of uncle who battled a really big conger eel (malong emas). He got the fish on board but unfortunately it escaped by jumping out right after dehooking. Dad caught a 500g red snapper and a different uncle caught another kaci weighing 500g also. After that we caught a 2kg threadfin and a 2.5kg ladyfish. An average boat trip but still a successful one.

The 2 beauties!

Not our luck

Went to east coast last night with my old bud Shang. We planned to catch up and get on for some fishing action. So we proceeded to a random water breaker and started setting up . We were completely oblivious to what to happen next...The tide was rising pretty fast...Hmm..A good sign for fishing. However, as soon as we turned our backs, we realised the water breaker was already surrounded with water. We felt !@#$^&* stranded. Eventually we went down the back of the WB to get to shore. And guess what...The water was at chest level! Upon reaching shore totally drenched, I realised my damn phone got wet and of course gone case. Shang apparently slipped on the rocks and got a deep cut on his foot. Looks really painful. With 300g of live prawns, I left the spot while Shang went back with his buddy to tend to his injuries.

I took taxi home and called my cousin Dre if he wanted to go pond. Better news, my dad was home which meant I get to drive to farmway for more fishing. So i took a quick shower, got the keys, pick up my cousin and drove off to farmway. It was fun first time driving as a license holder. So I parked the car outside, paid the cash and started fishing. It took us 2 long hours of waiting before Dre hauled up 1kg plus MJ. The fight looked pretty good with the fish stripping the line off the spool now and then. After that no more action. We saw a freaking huge grouper right in front of us but it didn't want our bait. Shortly after that, a guy came with a floater hooked with a small japanese fish. 10 secs and barm! The fat grouper was hooked he fought the fish for a solid 5 mins before Dre help scoop it up. The guy was worried it was 5kg but to his relieve it was just 4.2kg which means CnK (Catch and Keep). Here's the pic of the MJ caught. Till next time.

Mangrove Jack!!

Ticket to a better fishing experience

Not been updating the blog lately. Have been going fishing but too busy with ns stuff including my driving lessons. Had my TP test a few weeks ago. What a disappointment it was..40pts and 1 immediate failure. Had my retest this wk and luckily it went well. 18 pts is still a pass. Now that I have my license, fishing would be much easier and perhaps unexplored locations might already be within reach. Just need to fork out money for petrol...bummer. (Btw I got my license under police NPCO course thats why i got my retest within a week)

Pasir Ris once again...

Back to basics once again with me and Fred as we had some light fishing action in the late afternoon of saturday. We hunkered down and prepared our gears in between wb 13 and 14. Equipped with g loomis and figo rods plus paternoster rigs, we cast away. The evening started out with a few hookups of the local resident catfishes. I moved on to using floater later on and almost landed a big one when my whole dead prawn was pulled in. The fish unfortunately didn't swallow the bait whole and escaped. At abt 11pm, we decided to move to wb 13 as the tide receeded. Fred who was awaiting his catch after a long time wasn't disappointed on his 2nd cast. The fish took the bait seconds after the sinker touch the seabed. After a short struggle, the fish surrendered and reveal its identity to be a decent size sweetlips. This is Fred's 2nd sweetlip and what a way to get it. Kudos to you bro. We packed up and left at 1plus am. Congrats once again Fred!

Pasir ris beach : between breaker 14 & 13

Got a last minute call last night to go fishing with my best bud Faisal. We rendezvous under Faisal block with a bike each at around 11pm. As we arrived we didn't see many anglers around and that night was pretty quiet and great for fishing. We set up our gears without hesitation and began casting out. We got a few bites at the beginning but there were no hookups. The first and only decent fish brought up for the night was from my Gloomis Gladiator rod and it was a sembilang. Its been quite awhile since i've witness myself or even anyone reeling in a sembilang. Probably the species is becoming endangered. Who knows...haha. Shortly after that, Faisal brought up a few decent sized usat which was cnred. The trip ended with breakfast at kopitiam and we were off back home.

Just nice for eating..

Punggol 17th Ave

This trip to punggol was an overnight one consisting of our usual kaki Andre, Ikmal and not forgetting the more experienced surfcasters which is Ikmal's dad and his uncle. The night started out with Andre reeling in a Pari Nyiru before Pak Su hauled up a good sized Duri. Quite a number of fishes was also caught through net casting included tambans,keke,kapas2 and an unexpected unga tanda. The trip was a fruitful one especially with professional surfcasters around to help when u need them.
