My First Sailfish in Pekan Pahang Rickey Boat 2009

Image
Prologue I was on a boat trip with Clarence in August and the talk of sailfish suddenly came up. I had not caught a sailfish before and listened eagerly. Later upon knowing that i had not have a taste of Sailfish before, Clarence made my day when he told me he will organise a Sailfish trip so i can get a taste of the amazing gamefish... The days came fast and furious with each passing day being more tormenting than the previous. The itch in my body was building up fast and it waited for nobody. I survived the days leading up to the trip by buying junk jigs and watching sailfish youtube videos. 16 October 2009 - The Drive Up After chilling out with Alan and the gang, i went on to meet Clarence, Terence and Lenni. We were to drive up to Pekan with Clarence being our driver. Thankfully, there wasn't a big jam at the customs and we sped on to Pekan with speed. We finally arrived at Ricky's place at around 0430 hrs. We setup our gear and hit the sack for 2 hours of sleep. Fr...

Fishing Games - Pro Bass Fishing 2003

I got very bored one day so i searched around for fishing games and found a very interesting fishing game in 3D for PC. The game is created by Atari and Infogrames in 2003 and the title is Pro Bass Fishing 2003. This game does not feature our fishing here in Singapore but its a good fix if you are feeling the itchy since fishing is generally the same all over the world. There are a few choices to fish at and fish species from monster catches will depend on the choice of the waters. There are around 20+ species to catch from and that is what i like about the game. Each lure works differently and to target the fishes you want, you must try different approaches. Casting under logs and piers will also produce different results. Some fishes travel in schools while the big ones hang out under cover waiting to ambush your lure. How you fish really affects the game and the realistic gameplay is what i like the most. There are also a good variety of lures(20 over) and even the topwate...

Post Earthquake Offshore Bashing

Image
The build up to the trip was all good and all guns blazing for us although there were tsunamis and earthquakes happening all around us. In addition, the recent consistent drizzles and showers were a constant thought on our excited minds. I had been on offshore trips right after earthquakes before so i knew this trip was going to be a excellent or disastrous trip. In such a situation there can be two possible scenarios. The first and most likely will be that the fishes in our area will be timid and stay off the hunt for awhile. It's not difficult to picture this since tremors could be felt all the way here even in Singapore. Of course, we hoped this would not be the case. There were already a few signs that the earthquake could be causing some disturbances to fishing. The first being Jerome's Southern trip right before the earthquake. They ended up with two small fishes and no reason to why there were not many fishes although the water conditions were somewhat beautiful tha...

Ang Chor Golden Snapper Fishing with Wreckhunter

Image
Joined the gang for another hardcore bashing time at Southern Islands. We reached Botak Hill to catch our live squids as usual but there werent many squids today. However, the squids were very good size... They are the one shot one kill type of squids. I tested out my Daiwa MD Mini squid jigs and caught a few small arrowhead... kekeke... After we caught around 20 squid, we set off for the bashing around midnight. We decided to keep half of the squids for morning because the current will pick up during daybreak. The boatman told us that will be the best timing tonight. Hehehe... During the trip we are always talking about the 30kg Cobia that ran away and we wondered if there would be any Cobia this time round... We are not really sure and after some time we reached the first spot. I took a live squid and baited it down. Current was not strong and size 16 was able to hold. Reeling up quite a few cranks from the bottom because i was using a long leader around 2 siam, i...

Claypot Ang Cho Fish Head

Image
On a recent Southern Island Trip , I caught some Ang Cho... I brought back my Ang Cho from this trip and on Saturday, i cut up the Ang Cho and didn't know what to do with it. The fish was too big and would not taste so good if we steamed it. In the end, we decided to go for claypot fish head... kekeke... These are the main ingredients used... I forgot to take picture of the prawn, flour and egg yolk plus the other seasonings... Ang Cho Head and some slices Slightly fry the ang cho first... but do not fry it until no juice left Fry all the ingredients properly and add the ang cho in to boil with it... Kekeke After you feel the fried ang cho have soaked up all the juices and become tender, you can stop cooking it...Hehe.. yum yum...

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...
