29 August 2009 Southern Island Trip with Abang Wreckhunter RSYC

Image
Actually, its quite lucky for me that i went on this trip as Ah Don could not make it for this trip so my dear friend Clarence called me and i took over the slot. It was yet another Southern Island trip. I told myself to give the place one last chance and well after this trip i think i havent gave up on it yet. We reached RSYC at 1830hrs but boatman was abit late so we wait for him. He was a young malay boatman who is quite young and very friendly. He even offered us his food. Anyway, when we got to the boat i was like oh my god because it was like abit longer than a sampan only and although there is some shelter, i thought we were in for a rocky time. BUT BUT BUT... somehow, when we board the boat, the boat wasnt like that all the time. The very stable and low design(the boat was not very high up) plus the rectangular design made the boat rock very little... It was super stable... hehe...

Giant Chao Phraya Catfish at FW3

Image
It's been a long time since i met my secondary school friends so after some arranging with them, i decided to bring them and experience what its like to fish a big fish. Before last night, they just thought once you hook the fish up, you can just reel it in fast... Haha... We reached there around 5pm...I brought 3kg of the secret bait and during the first few casts there was already a big take but i could not set the hook... Later on, the action died down not even a single sound so i decided to change bait to some discarded small rotten fish tail that was left on the floor and just drop it nearby beside the wall... After 10 minutes, the whole rod just bent fully and reel was screaming. I jump up and strike the fish but it kept running. I passed the rod to one of my friend but he fought the fish quite strangely and keep on jerking the rod like what Vin always do last time. He jerk the rod until the the fish jump up and down a few times. LOL! It was a monster pacu but it kept being...

Introduction to Eging with some friends

Image
One night, I brought some newbie friends along who never fish at all to try for some squid. We went to a very old spot which I never been there for a long time. I don't know how is the situation there at all but looks like the squids are not coming in. Anyway, Punggol 17 and the right side of Punggol End will be closed already... No more cars can go in and there is a bangla that will stop you. Sigh... Another spot gone. They are closing down that whole area for development. The Eging was pretty boring for me the whole night... Total I only got 1 strong pull but it dropped on the way in... The two newbies had some beginners luck and had some baktao that we BBQ... kekeke... How we BBQ... You can see the pics... Kekeke.. Enjoy the photos.

Recently, i got to know this Poly schoolmate of mine whom i just found out also fishes... So late night after i book out and saw my MSN, we made a trip to FW3 the next morning. Tackle Used: Shimano Bassterra Cross X Design 10 - 20lbs 6'6 / Daiwa Caldia Kix 2000 / 8lbs Powerpro Red It is a few stressfull weeks for me as i got problems in both NS, health problems and You Know Who... So i thought some fishes would do the trick. There was a problem though... We couldn't get the "Secret" Bait. Hahaha... So we got some Kembongs and chcken liver. The morning was super sucky but that lucky friend of mine managed to hookup a medium sized Chao Praya Cat. Unfortunately, much is left to be desired of the photo. Hahaha... Now was another problem... The fishes weren't biting at all. They were simply not around... Until lunch time when i got bored and clipped on a cheapo rubber lure with a long shank debarbed hook attached to a spit ring. Within minutes of trying i got m...
