"Play-Play Fishing"

Wow, have not been posting since the last fasting month. The last fishing trip was a month ago when Mr.Din ask me to try at Bedok Jetty. Since I was on leave that day, brought my gear and wait for Mr.Din to arrive.

We end up casting at the water breaker beside the jetty. Could not bear the heat if fishing on the jetty although there only a few anglers there.

Manage to hook-up two palm size gerut-gerut and ray. Left at around 7 pm.

Return From Injury

Whoah! Been missing in action for quite sometime due to my injuries.

So last Saturday, due to the pestering of Mr. Dem, we decide to wet our lines at the same spot in front of Conney Island. Mr. Sam tag along and Mr. Jay came a few hours later with Mr. Dem bringing along his prodigy (his son).

Rigs were already prepared in the morning, set up my gear, find a spot and cast without feeling anymore pain on my right shoulder. A good sign for me, seems everything is all okay, I can start fishing every weekend.

Tide was only at 2.6 and current is weak, can expect no bites from the biggies. Setup my smaller rod and hook a few sand whiting (swa chiams/bebolos/pepasir) and use it for live bait.

No action till sunset when Mr. Dem brought up a small tarpon/lady fish (bandang). That's the only the best catch of the day. Others were all the sickening stripped ell-tail catfish.

Taking A Break

Pulled my shoulder muscle badly due to two days straight of surfcasting. All fishing outing invites, i had to cancel, cause the pain is unbearably painful. Maybe I have to take some few weeks of rest before start to cast again.

Yesterday, Mr Jay mms me his latest catch.

Catfish Fever

After deciding what time and where to meet before introducing Mr. Dem to Mr. Jay's spot at Punggol, both of us waited patiencely at the roadside after exiting to Punggol from TPE. Dark clouds were already above our heads and prayed that they were just passing clouds.

But luck was not on our side that evening, as we just to enter the dirt track area, it start to pours. Mr. Jay asked both of us to leave our bikes and join in his car, but we can't resist of leaving the bikes at that area, so I put on my raincoat and continued our journey to the canal.

Rain still pouring down heavily when we reached the spot. Knowing that graphite rods were dangerous during lightning, I have to wait till everything cool down. About an hour later, I slowly set up my gear as the other guys had already cast out. It's really annoying and very uncomfortable that you to fish when your whole body is soaking wet.

Mr. Dem start the evening catch with a small tarpon (bandang). An hour later is was Feeding Frenzy Time, one by one, the rods were shaken by the hungry catfish.

Everybody got the taste of the fight and every rod that we cast out were shaken by the catfish especially to Mr. Jay's new gear, it's virginity was lost that night!
