TKK Fishing Trips: An all out fishing trip

With Kel expecting to join us in the next fishing trip, Kai and Toh went for some recce mission around Singapore. the mission came to an end as we chose Marina South Ferry Terminal as our next fishing trip.

As this is an all out mission for Toh, he borrowed around 3 rods and reels and in the end, he managed to cast out 7 rods into the sea but of course with the help of Kai and Kel. But the area was stone infested as many of our lines were stuck in the first throw. Within half an hour, we lost a few weights. Damn it man.... therefore we give up on this area and proceed to Labrador Park.

Carry our stuffs and accessories back to our car was like one of a hell. imagine 9 rods, 5 to 6 1'5 litres of waters, 500grams of live prawns, 3 foldable chairs and other bulky items. we were already shagged out after we reached our car.

But still we procced on to Labrador Park. Luckily the journey to the site from the carpark was near. we managed to fix our stuff and proceed on to fishing as we are already behind time from high tide.

Suddenly, one of the rod slipped on the railing and fell to the ground. Kai immediately tell Toh to reel the rod as he was standing nearest the rod. Toh pick up the rod and gave a hard pull. but there is no fight. it might be a catfish or some sea weed. But to his astonishment, it was a Spanish snapper.

After this catch, the rod became silent only for seaweeds to spoil our mood. As the tide is going down slowly, we agreed on other location. The reason is due to the low tide, protuding lots of stone in the area where our line always got stuck on it.

Well, we are not professionals. We proceed on to Lorong Halus where Toh trucks got chased by around 6 to 7 dogs. As we reached the area, none of us dare to open the door. But as the dog gave up chasing, we able to get out of the car and recce the place. The place are of full of sand flies, mosquitoes and mud so we moved on to Punggol where we start to recce a suitable place for fishing.

While we reached the destination, Kai went to pick Jennifer while Toh and Kel continue fishing. As usual, we checked on the rod and changed bait. As I were reeling in 1 of the rod, Toh felt the rod was heavy. No bite, no feeling, just heavy. Therefore he reel it in as fast as possible hoping that might be a tired fish after frequent struggled. But what he and Kel saw was a yellowish plastic thingy.... thought was a plastic bag but no it's moving, it's a lobster... And no, it's a crayfish..... And fially, when the thingy was inland, what in the hell was that, A few anglers came and tell me that this thingy can be eaten.

And when Kai came back with Jennifer, Many of us couldn't believe what that thingy was. But Kai managed to find out that it was a Lobster, crayfish family known as Mantis Shrimp. We had a fun but tiring night and day. Let the picture do the talking.
