~Fishing Passion~: Catch Reports for 25/4, 26/4 & 27/4

Title: Fishing session at Bottletree park
Date: 25 April 08 (Fri)
Weather: Humid with no wind at all
Equipments used: KJH’s two hands

Feeling tired after work, we decided not to go prawning but go prawn viewing instead at Bottletree park near my house. We reached there around 7:15pm and settled down for dinner by the big fishing pond. It was supposed to be a nice "romantic" by the "sea" kind of dinner but it turned out to be a BIGGGGG disappointment.

Food was not nice and was expensive. There was no breeze and he was perspiring like a running tap. Haha. We made up our mind not to go there for food anymore. This was the third time eating there and also the last time we will eat there!

After the dinner, we went to see others prawning. We nearly went to prawn as well but we managed to curb it after seeing the poor catch rate of others. Watching was quite fun too and time passed so fast and it was almost 10pm.

We decided to leave the place. Beside the prawn pond was longkang fishing for 3-12 years old kid. He started bragging how good he will be if he is allowed to fish. I told him to put his words into action and he, a big old kid started to catch the small fishes inside the children’s pond. True enough, he caught 3 fishes in the end but he used ermm… more than 15 mins to do it? Am I right JH? Haha… I think the kids can definately catch more than you with the same amount of time!!!

Title: Prawning session - 28 in total
Date: 26 April 08 (Sat)
Venue: Sin Ming Industrial Park

I went there at 5:15pm and met JQ and Nix who reached there one hour before me. Promising that I will get 10 prawns before JH come to join me one hour later, I quickly paid at the counter and started the prawning game… True enough I was quite successful and managed to get 7 prawns when JH reached. I was quite contented with this result as this was the first time I prawn without him.

He took over and managed to hook up a few more too. One thing worth mentioning is Nixon’s catch. He caught a couple of big ones and hooked up a giant one. (by luck during the Loh Hey guy Loh Hey) Everyone around him was admiring and envying on this giant catch.

Around 8pm, all of us were feeling famished. We break for a dinner at the Zhi Char located at the beer garden. We brought 25 small prawns to the stall and asked the chef to cook for us. A lady with a weighing machine hand held on to our plastic bag and quoted $12 for it. Though at first thought we think that that was expensive, we were extremely pleased with the final product-claypot of drunken prawns. とてもおいしか? 盲郡扦梗?BR>> After replenished our energy, four of us continued prawning till 11:30pm. The result was 28 prawns for the day.
