Prawning Trip On 210608

Total catch: 14

Fate of the prawns: Maipian Xia
Catch rate was quite bad that day.
Overall only 10-11 were hooked up.
3-4 were caught by hand.

Bad Day

Venue: Tmj
Weather: Hot but cloudy (Weird right)
Baits: Live Prawns
Date: 17th June

I guess to a angler, there are good days and bad days. Part and parcel of angler’s life.

Went down to tmj today and reg only 1 Bite!
Total fish at the end of the day = 1
And to be exact i got no hookup no fight no fish. Why?

Guess heaven is trying to be kind to me. My hook manage to hook onto a broken line which on the other end is a small kim..ard 500 grams..
So it jus a lucky catch…which is not counted.

Anyway i left before my time is up………………….
What a bad day…

Fishing Trip(Punggol) On 130608

Venue: Punggol
Time: 9.30pm - 3am
Rig: Apollo with sinker and floater
Baits: Live Prawns
Weather: Cooling

Went over to sheng siong at commonwealth to get 500 grams of live prawns and off we set off for punggol.

Reached at ard 9.30pm and started wetting the line at 10pm. Setup one rod on floater and rod with sinker.
One friendly malay fisho gave us some worms and he even mentioned he got 1kg of grouper making our morale rosed.

From 10pm to 12am i saw my float sank twice but pop out immediately.
Suspect that it could be that the float i using is too big and heavy thus spooked the fish. Twice the float sink and twice the live prawns become dead prawns.

Therefore immediately change to a smaller and lighter float. However there is no more bite…
At ard 1am, i decided to rebait. Took one live prawn and when i turn over and look at my float… IT GONE!

Asked my fren and he also couldnt see it. Without hesitation, i ran over to my rod which is quite a distance away from me.
But too bad, on the way my float reappear and i know…’fish gone’.

Immediately rebait and cast to the same area. Ard 2am, i notice my float is moving strangely. 2 secs later, it dipped into the water slightly. Quickly reel in the line and STRIKE!.

Not a big decent fish but at least something….
A toadfish aka kuku fish

When i tried to unhook it, it gave a ‘Wa wa wa’ sound..
As the hook is set quite deep, i cut away the line and released it.
3am, packed up and go home

Fishing Trip(Tmj) On 100608

Venue: Tmj
Time: 9am - 4.30pm
Baits: Live Prawns
Rig: Apollo on floater
Weather: Sometimes sunny sometimes cloudy.

Went down to tmj to revenge with a aim to break my highest record 5 kbl.

Reached, setup and the game starts…..


Got my first fish ard the centre pump at ard 940am. Float was sinking and moving..towards the right.
Reel in the line and whack! Fish done a beautiful somersault twice before it was landed.

2nd fish was landed ard 11am and 3rd fish ard 1pm. All the fishes did a few somersaults during the fight.

At ard 2pm..my float sink and started to move towards the right…Grabbed my rod and whack! Fish on!
The line is peeling out from my reel. First time i experience such a powerful fish at tmj. Heart was pumping and i start to tactfully fight the fish.
It did not jump out of the water like normal kims will do. It jus dash left and then right pulling my line out.
After 5 mins, manage to force the fish near the corner and that where i made a fateful mistake.
With the urge to faster land the monster, i tried to yank it out of the water and then "PIAK"!!!!!
The fish DROPPED back into the water.!!!!! Sigh! What a waste…

Total catch: Pathetic 3


Saw this kitten at TMJ. It was v skinny...
Too bad i got no food for it.

Fishing Trip On 070608

Fishing Trip On 070608 (Sat)
Venue: Tmj
Baits: Kembong and Live Prawns
Rig: Apollo with floater & Apollo with sinker
Weather: Super Heavy Rain

Reach Tmj early like ard 8am and started fishing.
Not a very lucky day as on the way to tmj i lost my hp. Adding salt to my wounds i keep getting sangkot.

Anyway met a friendly fisho and he advise me to use kembong meat and sinker. He added that floater with live prawns dun work.
Well thinking he might be experience and friendly pressure from him, i switch to kembong meat with sinker but i only got one bite throughout the whole morning.

Ard noon when cx, jq and nix reached, i move to the centre pump and decided to change back to my floater with live prawn rigs. No take at all. Quite demoralised.

After a long wait, we finally got one bite when nix was reeling in the line. He told me got fish..i took over…and pull the line tight…a kbl jump up and say byebye to me…..

Continue story from TCX below

Made a last minute decision to go fishing on sat rather than sun. This made him very excited, and stayed awake throughout the whole night to prepare the fishing equipments. On my way there, it was raining soooooo heavily. Nevertheless, Jq & Nix were still interested to go and join us for fishing. This was Jq’s first fishing trip and Nix’s second. The catch rate was not good due to the poor weather. Beginning to feel low morale after 6 hours of the record breaking 0 catch in tmj, I used another rod illegally (FOC) Keke…. I was fishing alone at a spot far away from JH, using the new rod he bought just 2 days ago. The float was floating leisurely on the water for 5 mins…
Out of a sudden, the float turned from a "sleeping egg position into a upright position egg". I could not believe my eyes initially. I was thinking whether to shout for JH to come over to help me but I hestitated as I felt that I can handle the fish myself since I have seen him fished so many times. Therefore I decided to do it by myself. So, I used the method have been theoratically taught before-reel in the excess thread slowly and when it is straightened, give it a fast strike and yes, I felt resistence!!! I reeled and pulled, reeled and pulled and finally got it out of the water! By this time all the three of them already gathered around me and was ‘admiring’ my first fish… I was so stunned by the whole process and could not believe that I have caught the fish all by myself. The feeling of catching and fighting the fish was very shiok!!! Feeling the excitement, I continued to fish. I threw the float to the same spot where I caught my first fish. Within 10 mins, there was a big movement-my float sank down hard and appeared on the water surface 3 seconds later. But I reeled it back and discovered that 1 prawn was gone… Knowing that the fish must be still some where near, I threw the float again at the same spot. When everyone was hiding under the shelter chatting away, I noticed strange movement on my float. I quickily came out from the sheltered area so that I can have enough space to strike just in case the strange movement was due to fish. I slowly reeled in to straighten the rod and yes, the whole float disappeared!I knew that my prawn is now inside a fish’s mouth. I gave it a strike and yes, there was resistence! I reeled it in and pulled in such an unprofessional way that JH thought it was not a fish but my hook was stucked in the bottom of the pond. Nixon also commented "Bo liao, bo liao…" However, I still treated it seriously despite all those "cold comments", and haha! The result was, it was indeed a fish and a big one!!! With the help from JH, I manage to get the big fish from the water. Hehe, this was how my second fish came about. I passed the rod to Nixon to try and using the tactics he used in prawning, he caught one too! Haha… It was also the first fish in this lifetime. In conclusion, we ended the day with 3 fishes… I caught 2 fishes (1kg & 600g) and Nixon caught 1 fish (500g) It was a happy ending!!!
