Luckily enough the weather at the east side was very good tonight. Went to bedok jetty at around 8pm to catch some squid. It was quite rare as compare with the passed week. But still manage to got enough for bait used. Around 11.30pm, received a call from one of my old buddy who wanted to join me for the night fishing. Since the squid was rare here, we decide to headed to another spot for the fish. I quickly packup n went to pick him up. We reach there around 12.30am. The place has just after a down pour. Everywhere is wet.We quickly setup our tackles n casted out. By now the tide is full n current flow has stop. When the tide turn down, the current was very slow. Bait that casted out was quite lasting now. At 1.15am, suddenly my buddy Zziplex rod the line gone loose. Quickly he strike n wind in a palm size fingermark snapper. Twenty minute later, crok..crok… crok..a handline he casted out earlier was rolling n line running out. ..but by the time he reach it, the line running has stop. He strike the line but the fish has gone. Ten minute later, his Zziplex rod got another line loose, he wind n strike, but missed hook again. Then half n hour later, zzzeeer…zzeer.. suddenly his reel alarm sound. Grab the rod n strike but nothing hook. . Seem that the very slow current flow has affected the hookup rate. Those fishes when feel the tension of the line just throw out the bait immediately.
