Its been a hell of a long time since any catch reports was posted on this blog. Well if this was a photo album at home it probably already collected a thick layer of dust. Anyway, let's begin where I left off somewhere in 2010. It was the year i broke my personal record for catching barramundis. Along the way i met new kakis sharing the same addiction as I do. So let's kick off with a CR at Pasir Ris Park.

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)
