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.

Pasir Ris Breaker 14 once again....

This trip happened 3 nights ago with my usual kakis.We came at low tide and casted our bait which was peeled prawns. In my first cast I gt double hookups of a flower crab and puffer. Puffer was released of course. As the tide was starting rise back, we moved to wb 14. That was the time my buddy caught a fat Blukang around a 1kg I guess. At around 12 plus, another one of my bud, Faisal had a bend on his 6 foot rod. We were surprised to find an orange spotted grouper at the other end of the line. Satisfied with the catch we packed up and left for home. Well done Faisal!
