Sarong is a very good bait for catfish which Toh successfully catch at least a small one in every trip. But in this trip, he didn't catch any at all. The place was so quiet, the moon is there and no wind but yet no bite. so cast after cast for another few hour. even the sarong was still intact on the hook. Damn it. so around 5am they left the place for lighthouse.
So toh and kel reach there. due to the carpark was closed, toh had to park his truck at another carpark which was damn expensive. so kel had to walk in by himself while toh park his truck. after toh park his truck, he walk to the lighthouse and realise kel wasn't there. so toh kept shouting for kel. thought he might fell into the sea but he saw kel headlight and realise he went to the wrong place. he went into the restaurant area which had fence so toh had to bring him to the correct path.
So so without hestitation, we start casting and around 7am, other fishermen came. so we share the spot together. while toh park his car at the free parking area. so toh came back and saw kel pointing to the sea. and when i look at it, looks like a group of chermins trying to eat a group of tamban. The uncle says looks like a group of giant travelly trying to eat the tambans. it was around 50m away from us. so the uncle cast of lures but to chance at all.
So we start casting and casting. even the uncle says we use live prawn got chance. then suddenly, 1 uncle was playing with handline pull out a grouper. toh and kel got a shock. the uncle was actually luring for small fish but a 2kg grouper came out. So toh quickly change his sinker into float. and kept on casting around the rock but to no avail. then toh pass the rock to kel and he spend around 30min playing with the float until he give up. an uncle was looking for tamban using his tamban hook but upcame a selar. he can still says he is trying to fish for tamban but yet the wrong fish came out. and he says jokingly that i thought tamban is so heavy. and another angle uncle came so total there are 5 fishermen over there including us. and the tamban came swimming pass. the uncle managed to catch lots and lots of tamban. at this time, toh saw the uncle rod is moving and he shouted to the uncle that got fish. the uncle look around and he say no fish then he pull abit and he say got fish. then he pull and pull. it was a todak. The funny thing is as todak teeths are sharp, he took a pipe and stuff it around it's mouth. and the uncle continue to catch tamban
the uncle is a very nice person. he even offer us to use the tamban. but i rejected it cause toh can see kel already very tired and the words "I want to go home" inscribe on his forehead. So toh just tried to use the available prawns he have just to finish up the bait. and other uncle took a tamban from him and he start casting. then he saw another todak. he ask kel and toh whether we want t catch todak. toh say ok. so he prepare leader and cast out. then the todak got hook on. he pass the rod to us and tell us to play wit hit since we have nothing to do. Was that meant to be an insult?? so i start to play with the todak and then i feel insulted and pass the rod to kel. So kel starting to fight with the todak. At this time, the uncle teach us to adjust the tension whether pull or loosen the line when fighting the fish. Ok noted. then when kel caught the fish, the uncle also tell me to take photo of kel with the fish. then after that, he keep the fish. then he took another prawn shell and cast into the sea. within 2 seconds, we can hear the line screeching sound from his reel. another hook on!!! then he left it there but this todak was lucky. it ran away.
So the uncle went back t o pull his line with the tamban on. he say it was very heavy and he pull and pull saying it was rubbish. but another uncle say it was stingray. so they kept arguing until when the rubbish surfaced, they just kept quiet and remedy the hook. so the uncle started to cast out the tamban again. this is quite funny as we know there are limited space at the lighthouse, the uncle cast out line line over the lighthouse andthen he place his rod there. then he continuse to cast for tamban. at this time, his tamban rod got a huge pull. he say die. the pull is heavy but yet the hook is only for tamban. and the hook snapped eventually.
then he saw his rod shaking and he mumble to himself saying faster bite and faster bite. then we hear the line scrreching out from the reel and he fastest rush to his rod and pull it. then he say the fish is gone. he start to cast pull the line and the fish is still there. so he started to fight with the stingray and immediately got subdued in 5 min. kel and toh was looking at each other with a fcuked up face. no catch at all. the uncle again offer us the tamban but we have already started to packed up. we offer them our remaining live prawns and then we go home. they also packing up soon anyway. while packing up, the uncle teaches us about casting, baits and catching sotong. there we left the place.
And so to summaries, the fish was not caught by us. it was a total lie to Kai who wants to know the catch. sorry kai...... no luck in this trip
