Hey folks, a new fishing and prawning pond has opened in Sembawang, right outside the SAF Yacht Club (SAFYC). For details, head onto their Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/gills.fishing . Heard that it operates on some points system now but the catch rate seems quite decent. Address: 43 Admiralty Rd W, Singapore 759962 (free parking available outside the open area) Contact number: 9121 7577 Below photos are embedded from their Facebook page on public settings:

I couldn't make it for this trip but the live updates from the guys were very exciting. They finished their prawns after lunch and had to go to the farm to top up prawns.  Beautiful snapper. Who says jigging not possible at Changi? We hereby named him ang cho kiat~! Baiters didn't xia suay also lah Kiat was the hero on this trip, scoring a good sized ang cho aka golden snapper on jig. Purist jigging style came up tops! 

It's been some time since we hit a decent haul off Changi waters. So this one really felt sweet. The most effective fishing method was fishing right off the bottom with tenya and bottom hugging techniques.

Yet another one from the Sembawang SAFYC fishing archives. A decent barramundi hauled up from the murky depths.  Enjoy the media coverage! @baktao Barramundi lessons with @Ahdu.2222.

Behold... on this trip, we had purposely sought out sagais because we were bored and wanted to just harvest fish. We were so desperate and only bought 1/2 kg of live prawns which we didn't really use anyway.  Lawrence the ang gao whisperer Ah Bao's "feather" Gao on jig! Caught it on feather! Strangely though, we caught all sorts of interesting reef fish before the "sagai" fishing started. Ah Bao even caught a coral trout on what he called "mao" or feather. We also used sabiki rigs to catch plenty of baby yellowtail barracuda aka kamasu. These are super tasty by the way, but it is a story for another day. When the current was about to pick up, off we want for sagai. Sam was fairly confident and recommended "long-line" and sabiki jigging. Long-line usually refers to a very long horizontal presentation (think 4ft of leader) with a feathered jig or hook at the end. One would just let it flow out and impart a jig stop motion to imitate flappin

I got a nice grouper on jig during this trip. I'm a jigger! The jig is available for sale at my Carousell page . Other fish caught during the trip Also Celeste learning how to ike jime the fish...
