Revenge Prawning At Sin Ming On 060408(Sun)

Date: 6 April 2008 (Sun)
Venue: Sin Ming Prawn Fishing
Time: 18:00 - 21:00
Bait: Chicken heart
Weather: Fine

Due to the poor catch rate at Bottle Tree Park, 6 of us decided to go back to our old place. We had 3 rods, 1 rod per couple. We had high expectations, due to JQ and Nix getting record breaking 22 prawns on the previous day.

We waited and waited and were disappointed. The overall catch rate at the pond was not good, though the "Ah Bui lo heh" for 3 times… There were prawns inside the pond, its just that they did not eat our bait. May be ‘Ah Bui" fed the prawns before they were being released??? Haha…

Anyway, it was record breaking on that day for the 6 of us as well. We broke our poorest prawning record. On the average, each couple got 5-6 prawns, and JQ and Nix were the champions - they had 8.

We packed the prawns into the plastic bag as usual and the owner uncle saw us and suggested to us why not we BBQ the prawns. We told him that with so little prawns, there is no need to BBQ. Guess what, he said he will give us prawns!!! He gave us a net of live prawns (more than 30 i think) for us to BBQ. Nice uncle…

He even taught us how to marinate the prawns etc when he saw us washing the prawns at a corner. Overall it was a nice trip because we had free prawns and we had tried to BBQ the live prawns for the first time. The prawns were tasty as they were very fresh and well done.
