Qw came to pick me up at ard 8.45am and off we chiong to East Coast. Met with traffic jam along AYE and reached our spot only at 10pm.
Quickly setup our rods and within 10 mins our baits were already in the sea. It has been quite sometime we were back to the wild.
Have been whacking the ponds recently and it time to stop. Lol. Anyway, I was telling Qw "I feel good" once we reached our spot. Cant explain why but I just felt that it was going to be a good night.....
No doubt, it was indeed a "GOOD" night. It was a "Lok Jiak, Lok Jiak" session. Bites were coming in constantly. Casted and within one minute my rod would start to nod. Rebaited, casted and same thing happened again.
Suspected it to be some small fishes nibbling at our bait. Changed my rigs to smaller hook and caught some culprits. Landed 2 baby eels from 10.30pm to 11.30pm. Was abit sian and dun even bother to take any pictures.
Decided it was enough and changed my rig back to bigger hooks. Was enjoying the sea breeze when my rod suddenly gave a ugly bend at ard 12am!
I was stunned and immediately jumped down from the stone bench and went for my rod which was already pulled to the ground!!!
In the process of jumping down, I rubbed the inner side of my right knee and Ouch!
The price for jumping down the stone bench. Lol.
Once I got hold of my rod, I gave a strike and felt something heavy. Was expecting it to be a great fight from the bend of my rod. However, I was wrong. There was no fight at all. Reeled in the bugger and it was a baby pussy!
Released this bugger and went back to rebait. After I casted out my bait, Qw told me he got something on the other end of his line. Slowly reeled in, no fight at all. We were thinking of a eel when it turned out to be a crab!
Flower Crab
The crab was grabbing onto the bait with it right pincer tightly. What a lucky catch! It was of edible size but we decided to release it.
I got another huge bite again at ard 1am. My rod was pulled to the ground and sprang back. However there was no hookup. It managed to get away. Suspected it to be another pussy.
As the tide started to go down at ard 1-2am, bites started to slow down. Not much action at the later part.
Was quite tired and called it a day at ard 3.30am.
