Date: 08-05-2024. Time: 1835 hrs. Rod: Ugly Stick 9 ft. Reel: Reelsking 10000. Rig: Long Snood Bottom Feeder. Bait: Fresh Baby Herring.
Tide was about to turn up when I reach there. Setup tackles and jig for fresh bait. This few days only baby herring around so no other choices. Cast out the fresh bait and wait as now tide had turn up with very smooth current flow.
Around 1835 hrs, while I was taking my packet dinner, I saw my Ugly stick rod bend and my reel start to scream with line running out fast. Put my dinner aside and grab the rod to strike. Fish On !..It start to strip out my line..I had to tighten the drag to stop it for going to far and deep. After the initial run, it stop and turn around. I gain back my line quickly and follow by few tug of war before i able to bring it near jetty and surface up. Brown stingray..after almost three years of waiting.(last caught June 2021).j As i was solo fishing today, i play the fish until it weaken before i hand over the rod to a cyclist who offer to help. Quickly, i grab my rope gaff and bring it up. 6.5kg
