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.
