One day, on Facebook, somehow, someway I managed to land myself on a fishing page " Fishing on IT'S Gr-R-Reat". I thought to myself... this guy Jimmy sounds very familiar. As I scrolled through the catches, I suddenly remembered... Oh yes this is the boatman that does trolling and it's the very same boat that Alan Chan asked me on a few years back. I couldn't make it for the trip then and he landed a Barracuda on lure as big as himself! Somehow, someway, suddenly...

After that it was to the prawn farms to get our prawns from kelong aunty - it has been almost 10 years since i met kelong aunty and she has aged alot... nice to see she always remembers me! Favourite Ipoh Hor Fun from Changi Village Changi Village Black Carrot cake! It was

The baktao and crew were back to Desaru for another tryout after the semi successful jigging trip at Desaru previously but things didn't look so good during this trip! There seemed to be some sort of monsoon at Desaru and we got smacked around in the stormy weather. We had breakfast at JB area with standard malaysian wanton mee and dim sum. The storm followed us! standard selection Kiat didnt seem fazed by the weather!    standard wanton mee from malayisa Loading up at the Desaru fruit market convenience stall where we got our drinks and ice... ice and drinks riding into the storm badol's boat www.baktao.com and www.singaporefishing.org We didn't manage to move out to our favourite mack and teng spots but Tommy still managed to land two decent tengerris! Could you guess the lure used? Nope, not pink tail, not pin tail and not even the new D lures... but... The LB110.... which stands for live bait 110mm! During stormy cond
