Sorry for not posting for such a long time. Things has been a bit hectic since so no time to upload my fishing pics up to my PC. Though nothing much to brag about cos no opportunity to go boat fishing since the last one. But did a lot of onshore fishing and yes you know, SG waters are not that fantastic unless you have plenty of time to spare like more than 8 hours then maybe you can get a decent catch. Here are pics of 2 short trips I had, 1 at Punggol beach and the other at Tanah Merah.
It is such a small catch report that I decided to put them into one post. That week of June is the first week of World Cup and seems like nobody is working at all so that week I actually fished 3 times!!
Here it goes:
It was 12 June and my drinking buddy is off on that day so decided to check out Punggol beach as it is high tide so cannot go Tanah Merah. Above is his son, Cody, who got the first catch there. Pretty impressive! (Shit! I lose out to a small boy, how can?) Anyway, in total Jimmy and his son got 2 Frogfish and 2 other fishes which I can't ID.
Anyway, this is my first trip out together with Jimmy and his son. And all I can say is that it has reaffirmed my decision not to have kids! Man, he kept asking questions after questions every 2-3mins. How to fish properly? No wonder I got no catch! (Hope Carole doesn't see this, hee hee...) I guess he was bored as fishing requires patience and kids are lacking that. It's like Jimmy told him to watch the rod and if it moves, means there is a bite. So instead of watching and waiting, he moved the rod with his feet and kept shouting," Fish! Fish!" It is funny now to think about it but at that time, it was just noise to me..... Luckily there was another family and they had kids around his age so later part he ended up playing with them.
Anyway, I did not get any catch there that day, Suay! But earlier on, I went Tanah Merah myself and manage to catch a good size todak.
On another day that week, went to Tanah Merah Safra club, there is a breakwater there so decided to go and check it out. Spend about 3 hours there, very bad. No catch, there were buoys along the coast so was wondering if there is a net there. If so, then unlucky man! Confirmed no fish. Was bored so decided to do a bit of rock fishing along the breakwater. Not too bad, a lot of small action. Caught a baby grouper and a baby Ang Chor Ki, too small so released. Then to my surprise, actually caught an eel. Should be a baby. It was a surprise catch. No worries, the eel is also released after posing for photos!

That's all for now. Hopefully next week can have more decent pics.
