Fun trip with Hong at Lighthouse












As Kel gotta work and can't go fishing, Toh managed to contact Hong and surprisingly he agreed to go fishing with us. As planned, were supposed to go to Con-wire but Kai check the wind and tide, he say it is not a good day to go there. So we look for a place using Kai street directory. And we finally agreed agreed on Lighthouse. Why? it was a windy but yet sunny afternoon. We need to look for a southern shore to block the northern wind.

The next day, Toh went to Changi V to grab the bait then off he went to fetch Hong and Kai. Once we reach that place, we had a hard time walking because of the bushes that are blocking the path and the rocky path with many holes. But still, nothing can stop us from fishing. So we reached the destination. There's an uncle there fishing also so we start to fix our rod and cast etc. Hong help Toh to fix the rod while Kai need to fix 2 rod. Then Toh and Hong saw the uncle rod is bending and they thought the line is stuck. Then being a good citizen of Singapore, we went to help the uncle. But as we reach to the uncle who is already goes down the breakwater to get his rod fix, Toh and Hong saw a very big fish mouth. Toh was wondering what was that, and as the uncle trying to get the fish unhook, It was a grouper. WOW around 5kg grouper. The body is so beautiful. Too bad no picture.

As the uncle hesitate to bring the fish up the breakwater, he do not know what to do. 1 hand holding the rod, another hand holding the fish. Luckily, Toh were there and he managed to help him to hold the rod while the uncle unhook the fish. After he managed to unhook the fish, he hug the fish with both his hand while the fish tries to struggle. He tries to pass the fish to Toh but Toh was holding the rod. Again, Toh managed to rest the rod on the Rock, and help him to carry the fish up the rock. But Toh is acared of the fish and he rest the fish on the rock and step on it lightly to prevent the fish from running away. And the whole incident ends as the uncle managed to retrieve his rod and the fish.

Toh had an idea. He was thinking of stealing the uncle fishing rather than fishing for fishing. Or we thought the lighthouse was a cockpit of a gundam.... well haha we had nothing to do anyway. Then Kai managed to start surf casting. Then withing 10 min from his first cast, His rod started to shake. So he took a strike and start to reel in. He say got fish like no feeling like that. then he reel and reel. That when Toh rush to the tackle box to get their secret weapon. the "LIP GRIP". So Toh goes down the rock and managed to grip the lip of the fish and then he pass the fish to Kai and the fish was subdued within a minute. Although it was a catfish, but the catfish is the biggest we ever caught. That kai catch and that's why we name him the "king of catfish". HAHA.... well anyway, we do not eat catfish, we give it to the uncle who caught the grouper. As the uncle had no plastic bag for the catfish, Toh kindly went to his truck and grab some plastic bag for the uncle but yet the plastic bag blown away and landed on the sea. Damn it. wasted. Shouldn't pass him the plastic bag. Then after awhile, his styrofoam box with air pump flew away. He tries to retrieve the box by casting his rod again and again. Kai and Toh tries to help him but the uncle gave them no chance to cast. But to Toh, so what if the box is gone, the uncle had a big grouper to bring home.

Then there were a couple came in and fish. We call them Mr and Mrs Lao Fu Zi because they look like 1. But they look so unfriendly in the beginning and cast their rod to our side. Ok nvm we endure. But as time goes on, the grouper uncle had no bait left and started to pack up. So all the angler cluster at the lighthouse to fish. The lady lao fu zi had a hard time fishing as she kept on getting a stuck. But the most funny part is after a cast, within a minute, she got a 1kg grouper. She pulled the grouper out of the sea and the fish line and the grouper flew and landed on the rock. Even the uncle was stunted, shocked and surprised as the fish almost hit him.

Then another angler came in where he came with only a few dead prawn. So he cut the prawn and casting for small fish as bait. He also look unfriendly but in the end, all the angler are good friends. After a few cast, the guy caught a few samll fish which he use it for his long rod surf casting. While he tries to catch some bait, he caught a grouper so small around the size of a guy thumb. Haha... Even he look at us and also laugh. Then he went to the end of the Lighthouse and start to cast. As he was very near the couple, they started chit chatting. The lady Lao fu zi kept on talking to the guy. While we were talking the Uncle lao fu zi looks jealous. It's like a scandal scene. But the most funny thing is the lady walk pass Hong and she ask Hong' Looking at the aeroplane?" Then Hong got a shocked and he say yes. Haha then Kai told Toh, Hong is also the 3rd party.

But finally, we start packing up as we feel a bit of rain water. Our mission to show off our fish to kel has failed. Thought of going to Sheng Siong to buy fish and show off to Kel. But in the end, we show 3 roasted pork to him instead.

Another con-wire trip






Since Kai loves this spot so much, and Kel looks jealous by Kai photo, Ok this trip was planned and was suppose to do a afternoon fishing. But the tide timing looks indecent and we planned for a night till day fishing. So Kel and Kai got new rod, new reel, just like Chinese new year. Have to wear new clothes.

But anyway, everything was pack and ready to move out. Reach the destination 1 hr late and Kel start casting immediately. He was so fast that Kai and toh thought he tie his leader at home but no he tie on the spot once he reached the place. So fast. And so fishing begun..... kel had a rod bend and he strike it... he missed ok and there was a time when 3 of our rod start shaking. Maybe the strong wave but that is the fun time of this trip. then around 3 hours later, Kel strike his rod and we can hear the tension caused by his reel. It was definitely a big fish. The fish kept pulling and pulling and suddenly, the line snapped. Damn it thanks to the con wire. But its ok. in terms of fishing, is whether you defeated the fish or you got busted by the fish. But of course, that was the talk of the day.

And fishing goes on. Kai Abu rod got a few shake at times but nothing was caught. Might be the crab. then near sunrise, strong winds start blowing and the waves getting bigger and rough. The waves causes our rod to shake. While holding our rod, we can even feel the vibration of the wind. I think thats about it as it was another boring trip. Damn the wind.... Dman the waves...

Recce reservoir Failed

Kel told Toh that he dun mind go for fresh water fishing. Ok so Toh goes to upper seletar reservoir to recce. That play was so dark, windy and lots of lover couples. Toh was the only guy without a girl. So shameful and he was along the dark footway looking for fishing spot while the couples there making out.

Ok so Toh got out of that place immediately since he can't find a spot and so Toh went to seletar dam to look for spot. He bypass a jetty and ask the police whether the area can do fishing. The police also dunno whether the place can fish and ask his comrade. And they say yes this place can fish. So Toh walk towards the jetty and looks at a few uncles doing net fishing. They caught around 4 to 5 big crabs with crawls bigger than their bodies. WOW it looks juicy and nice. Even the police came by and looks at the uncle tying the crab.

This is the spot.... Toh talking to himself and he and Kel went to this spot aroun 12mn. But after a few cast, a guy came and tie his boat, scolded us for fishing here as the weight might spoiled his propeller. Dman it spoil our mood. So we set off to punggol and fish. Another boring trip as there is no fish but only full of mosquitoes. And so we pack up around 6am and the talk of the day is we saw a dog swims all the way from Punggol beach to coney island. Wow coney island was so far, around 500m away. We can even see where the dog is.... END

A surprised kaki

A fishing trip was planned, Punggol. And guess who? it was Jianhong who agreed to go fishing with us. WoW!!! What happen? Is he boed or is he sad??? no one knows well anyway, we had a fun time chit chatting instead of fishing. And Kel caught a plastic bag. The funny thing is he had a hard time fighting the plastic bag and he say the fish is very heavy. Well, everything ends up with no fish but yet a very happy chit chatting sessions with Jianhong

Ubin...






In this trip, Toh was in Mexico for his internship. So they start planning to go fishing after Toh came back to Singapore. And the destination to feed the fish is Pulau Ubin.

Around evening5pm, they meet up at Changi Village and went for a heavy dinner. Soon after, all packed up and went to the jetty to board the boat. Once reached there, around 6.30pm rods were being cast out into the sea. Soon after that 2 malay guy came and share the same spot with us. The malay guy might come to this place to fish frequently. Cause even the police came and talk to him for about 15 mins.

Oh well, the malay also started to fish using worms. They use a very short rod. In fact, they kept on catching fish while we had ZERo00000. Everytime we hear the bell rings, it was the mlay guy rod shaking. we had a very boring trip as we kept on looking at those malay guy rod which kept shaking.

But 1 funny thing is they caught a snapper but the fish drop while they trying to pull it up from the jetty. And Toh is trying to catch that snapper with a hook on its mouth. Haha and in the end he caught an eel. Damn it, he was so frustrated that he threw the eel away in the dustbin because eels likes to entangle themselves and suffocated.

Forgotten Kai or Kel got a GUGU fish also known as stargazer. Gugu fish also likes to swollow the entire hook and stuck in the mouth. We had no choice but to release it with the hook in the mouth.

And so everything goes as normal, taking photos of the nice morning scenery. And we need to wait for 2 hours just to get enough people to go back to Singapore mainland.

Mission Hyundai Failed

Thought of going to Hyundai because that place is infested with fishes.... Guaranteed by Toh. But the place were area blocked by the Government. We try other alternative route but to no avail. Therefore, we had to settle for a place near that site. While walking to the site, we saw a few man doing net casting and a queenie on the grass... Damn, they caught a queenie. This booast our morale; meaning this plae got big fish.

So off we go and start casting immediately. There were many people there so we had to settle near the drain. To add insult on this trip, heavy thunderstorm soon reach our destination. But luckily we had rain coat with us. Although we are still wet, But we still managed to keep 70 percent of our body dry. This time, Kai rod is moving. So Kai is trying to pull his rod and he felt a large sea monster pulling his bait so instantly that he had no time to fight back. Kai even told Toh that he can feel the fish is damn heavy. He might even lose the fight with his line burst.

Ok and soon after that, we realise that we do not have torch light. So we need to set off early and find a spot which have street light. Site after site, cast after cast. Night started to cast over the sky. Alright, lets go back. While Toh went back to the day site to fish knowing that high tide is coming soon.

That area has many bite and Toh managed to catch a catfish around the weight of 500g. Not a bad day after all and he pack up and leave.
