Rig: Floater & Split Shot

Date: 27 June 2011(Mon)

Bought 300 grams of live prawns and proceed to Ryan's spot.
Mission for the day - Kim Ba Loks.

Rigged a floater with a giant live prawn from Sheng Siong. Out it went into the middle of the spot. Float was flowing with the incoming tide towards my direction when it slowly sank and stay 3/4 submerged under the surface.

It stayed there for a good one minute before I decided to check it out. Reeled in my line and saw this evil-looking fella!

Stonefish!


It was pretty fat and heavy! Cut the leader and back it went into the sea.....

Sheng Siong live prawns are not very lasting. It was less than 2 hours into the session and I am only left with 1 or 2 prawns still kicking alive.

Took one dead prawn and started spinning when I felt the familiar nibbling on the other end.
This baby grouper was no match to my banana rod at all.

It was released back into the sea as it was too small to be packed away.


Continued spinning my leftover dead prawn when I hit again!
This time round the fight was slighty stronger but still it was landed in 10 secs?

A slightly bigger grouper


I am sorry but I decided to pack this one home for my dinner.

Mission failed as I did not managed to land any Kims but I found a way to get the Gaos!

Massacre

Bait: Dead Prawns
Rig: Pole Fishing

Date: 3rd June 2011(Fri)

As usual, a few sms exchange and we were on our way to our fishing spot.
We are back to the pole pond!

Pay up and the session starts!
There were 2 groups of 'polers' when we reached. One consists of a family and another is a group of young men.

No baskets was in the water yet = No one landed anything yet.

Casted my first prawn cube out and saw the line moving. Paused for a moment and WHACK!!!!
ZZZZZzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, the line screamed!
Took less than a min and the first fishy was landed. After the first kim cheow was landed, all hell break loose!

Me and Qw took turns landing fish after fish in the next 25 mins. 30 mins into our session, we got 6 lively kim cheow trashing in the basket!

Then came the bad news, Qw sprained his ankle and he was out...
Was considering whether to go home since he seemed badly hurt but he told me to carry on..

Foul hooked 2 kim cheows in the 2nd hour and in the 3rd hour I hit a GAO! Finished the session with 1 last piece of kim cheow before we called it a day.

Certainly not our best as Qw only fished for less than an hour while I lost quite a few. However, it was certainly one our better session.

Perfect Ten

Lousy day...

Not in the great mood to fish. Felt thirsty and tired throughout the whole session.

Started off with 3 fishes in the first hour and all the way.

Was actually waiting for time up. Totally no mood.
