Anglers: Lutdfee & Irman
Date:4th July 2008
Target: Kaci, Shark and Ray
Author: Irman

At last! A fishing trip. Well this time round, only
Lutdfee and me at our usual spot. Tide was high,
3.0m it is. Catch rate at night was really really slow.
Alot of biggies rigs and sinkers were lost.
'Sangkot' of course. Currents were strong too.

There was one moment, one chance for Lutdfee when
the tides going low, and he blew his once in a lifetime
biggies, i mean real biggies opportunity cause i saw it
all in front of my eyes. On how his rod bent and i bet
its sure a big big one from the pulling of it. Then, corals
or such came his way and, burst. Aww he shook his head
for a moment and regrets. Theres more fishing trips
bubba, next time, line sure kanna stripped of! Hahaha.

In the morning, 'tamban' hooks loaded with small
pieces of prawn meat were used. C&R those that is
too small. While kept the ones which hooked gill-deep
which eventually died. Sad.
Then a strong pull on Lutdfee's dad's rod which i used.
Took out from the stand, let it swim, stop, then pumped
abit, fish on! Yes fish on, on a pathetic size 9 tamban hook.
Hahaha. The fight was superb, playing with its drag and
all, in my heart why isn't the line got cut by such pull. A
sicklefish that is, without having any ability to cut the apollo
rig. Thank god. Alhamdulillah the fish got up.

About the small ones, i'm sorry can't unhook on time to C&R.
Thanks all folks! Bent rod, screaming reels and tight lines guys! (:

Date: 30 April 2008
Target: Biggies & Smallies
Spot. Bedok Jetty
Author: Irman

Asrul came my house at around half past ten at night.
Carried all the necessary fishing stuffs and off we go
to meet Lutdfee at Bukit Batok Driving Centre as he has
driving practical to be done. We waited long for the bus
and thought we're late as Lutdfee dad's sending us to
the fishing spot last night, fortunately Asrul's parents saw
us at the bus stop so they decided to send us there.

Bought drinks, ice and stuffs upon meeting him at a
petrol kiosk just beside the driving centre. Off we proceed
to Blk 80 Marine Parade Tackle Shop for the necessary
weapons for the night. Chatted quite awhile with
Mr Nathanael Tan, the Tackle Shop salesman. He told us
that a kaki of his informed him that Bedok Jetty is packed
with people as the following day would be a public holiday.
Both of my friends don't agree on fishing there, but i told
them its only for a period of time as most people usually
don't fish overnight.

Bite rate was horrible. At around 6 in the morning, strong
winds gushing through the whole jetty for quite some time
and i thought a heavy downpour is going to wet us. Kind of
scary actually as it isn't normal to me. Tamban rock the
house this morning! If you know what i mean.

Lutdfee caught this grouper while i was sleeping. Estimated
weight is around 1 kilos. Well done bro. Till then, tight line
guys! Enjoy the pics.

Many varieties of bait e.g tambans, prawns, pumpun,
cacing pasir, one important bait missing was, pasir-pasir.
In the middle of the night, followed Azzahar for his
netcasting. I'm just helpin him to transfer baits in the net
to a bag. What luck when he heard a few splashing sound
just a few ft after casting out the net. Well, loads of tamban,
belanak, puput, flatfish and flower crab! Well done bro. (:

No biggies were landed last night except for last week's
wak Kamsani's 24kg sandray if i'm not wrong. Wow salute
his fish, rod, multiplier and most importantly rig and
pendulum cast.

Alright, no biggies yet for me. Yes patience. ((:

Ok let me start off on a trip wit the SSA bros last friday which was Good Friday. Well basically fishing trip with the Singapore Surf Anglers, SSA, on the 21st Mar almost got into a successful one when Bro Yan (kecik) got hooked on a stingray which he fought at approximately 30-40mins. And the story goes....

Met Jali and the gang at 5pm at Changi Village. Heard wat wat (wormy kind of bait) was in store so we got at least 8 packs for the night for us. I brought two weapons fo the night. Lotsa smallies were haul by my dad's rod, Shimano holiday spin, like usat(belongs to a catfish family) and mempinang. We had some bbqed stuffs fo the night tht were brought by my newly made friends thr. A few hours later, while everyone were changing baits, and i was reeling in my line, i heard someones drag being pulled, pulled non stop! Bro Yan saw and reach out for the rod quickly before anything happens. It wasn't his rod actually but its one of his friends. The owner of the rod were busy with some stuffs. He then gave the fish a hard jerk, it still swam away, further. It then begin to caught everyone's attention. The rod almost give way but Bro Yan played with its drag professionally.

After a long long fight, the fish was finally on sight. Were we relieved to see what fish and how big it was. I was happy at first. It roughly weighs around 15-20kgs. No one had gaff to bring this monster up, so i was appointed to jump over the railing to drag the fish to the 'much better area' for bringing this sandray up. Lotsa hiccups were seen like the line went into the rocks, so i hadda meddle with things down thr with Jaliboy's a.k.a Sean Kingston rod, as how to bring up as the tail could give you a nice whip to send you to the hospital and so on. The ray were still on when we're at the above mentioned area, so i tried whole means lik trying to hold and grab its tail, poking in thru its eyes, nothing could possible been done. So poking through its eyes, halfway, is the best choice at tht point of time. I still could remember how shaky i was when trying to lift tht monster up.

The moment of truth, the ray got off. Not by snap of line, but i think its the hook part, didn't went in properly. This all happened after the rod tht i was holding on to tht poked into its eyes slipped. Then it swam away. Its life is still longer. Up till now, I can't forget that very incident.

Anglers: Abe and Man

Last two days went fishing with Abe. As usual, meet at Jurong East MRT and travel allllllllll the way to Pasir Ris then take bus No. 89 to Changi Village. The best bait was pumpun(a type of worm in its case or 'sarong') and kelong sotong. All the way last night was smallies cause my biggies rig got snapped. Sad lah! Hmmm we thought all the way, was the catfish, then kaci was hauled by me. Happy happy! Hahaha. My new 13ft prokat is no longer a virgin. I bought it from a nice kaki on FK for only $55. He's a nice dude i could say. Only used twice but goin in for national service, so no time for fishing. Hmmm, enjoy the pics!

Peace be upon you.

Only the two of us is going to 'shoot' while the other had to work. Danial to be specific. We prolly reached Bedok Jetty hoping the weather to be at the very best at around 8pm plus after gettin our ammunition at Marine Parade blk 80, the tackle shop. So baits for the night was market sotong, dead and live prawns. I met my uncle on our way there, when he was on his way to get food at the hawker centre.

After setting our weapons, we sat, chat and ate the chicken wings that my uncle bought, hoping for a hook. After an hour, i saw Abe's recently bought shimano surf leader been bite. The tip of his rod went down, stop, then further down. Told him and quickly threw his chicken wing down. Hahha. He said it felt lik heavy without and fight. Then from up we saw its a stingray. People drew nearer to catch a glimpse of his caught. I took the pliers, step its tail and pulled its sting. We were happy and hope for more catch.

Things went quiet till the next day. Enjoy.

Waitin for the shopowner of The Tackle Shop to get his haircut.

True eels (Anguilliformes) are an order of fish, which consists of 4 suborders, 19 families, 110 genera and 400 species. Most eels are predators.

The flat and transparent larva of the eel is called a leptocephalus. A young eel is called an elver.

Most eels prefer to dwell in shallow waters or hide at the bottom layer of the ocean, sometimes in holes. These holes are called eel pits. Only the Anguillidae family comes to fresh water to dwell there (not to breed). Some eels dwell in deep water (in case of family Synaphobranchidae, this comes to a depth of 4,000 m), or are active swimmers (the family Nemichthyidae - to the depth of 500 m).

Fishing for eels is best done at night with either a gaff or a strong line with a small and square bloody piece of red meat.

Elvers were once eaten by fishermen as a cheap dish, but environmental changes have led to increased rarity of the fish. They are now considered a delicacy and are priced at up to £700 per kg in the UK.
