Been waiting for this day for very long. Again, I went with high expectation and Again, It ended with disappointment. LOL.

Anyway, this time round I went with my coy's colleagues. They are Joel, Irfan, Yasing, Nana, Nardia and Friend.

Reach Changi at ard 7.30pm with Joel but the rest of them are late. Therefore we proceed to Changi Pro Tackle Shop first to buy our Live Prawns.

Comparing with my past offshore boats, this boat is in very neat and clean condition.

Reach our first spot at ard 10.30am.

Joel proceed with his first cast and immediately landed his first ACK for the day. Not very big size. Estimate ard 600grams but it is a very good start already.

From 11am-2pm, Irfan landed a grouper and Joel landed another small ACK.

Was getting abit low morale as I am still a Zero Fighter.

At ard 2.30pm-3pm, Narida's friend landed 3 big ACKs on handline! Very expert indeed.
Those ACKs are at least 1kg each. I can only watch with envy. LOL

My rod that dun seem to attract any fishes


Soon it was 3.30pm. Was starting to give up when I finally feel a tug on my rod! Give a strike and FINALLY landed my first and only fish of the day. My FIRST Grouper!

Not very big, ard 500 grams but I am v satisfied liao. A new kind of fish added to my record.

From 4pm-6pm, Irfan and Nana manage to land a few more smallies. A baby grouper and 2 smallies. Seem to be Guhood? Not very sure either.

We ended the day with 10 fishes.

5 ACK, 3 Groupers and 2 unknown
