Tide was on the way up. Current flow is very smooth. My torium reel scream when I was busy with my squid lamp. I strike and the fish make a acrobatic jump on the water surface.

Flat Head

Date: 14-02-2015     Time: 20.00      Rod: Murugen Pathfinder 7ft.     Reel: Silstar AT80 Spinning reel.     Line: 30lbs braided with 50lbs mono.     Rig: Short Snood bottom feeder      Bait: Live kambong.

As tonite high tide is early at around 8.30pm, after that the current is slow. So i decided to bring another rod to target the big barramundi below the jetty. Bait fish was very rare this afternoon. I started to jig around 4.30pm but only able to get a few. Among it was a small kambong fish. I decide to use it on a live bait cable car rig.

No taker even until 6.30pm. I decided to switch tactic. I change the position of the rod and also the rig to short snood bottom feeder. My target…the big barramundi below. Using the same live bait, I lower it down the jetty.

Around 8pm, I saw my 7ft rod rattle alittle. I decide to check, well… it turn up this flat head grab my live bait. As no more live bait and the current has die down, I call it a day.

Yellow Tail Catfish

Date: 25-01-2015     Time:0100am      Rod: Century Vectra 13.6ft      Reel: Shimano Torium 30     Line: 40lbs mono     Rig: Long snood bottom feeder     Bait: Squid

Ah An caught this Yellow tail catfish or Mayon early this morning when the tide was mid way up. The fish pull his line when the current was fast. I strike it for him before passing the rod back to him to fight. As we got other rods to wind back, I ask him to play it slowly until I get my gaff ready. I gaff it and it weigh around 5kg. Earlier he also landed a conger eel around a kg plus. Using the same bait which was still intact, he casted out again and it attracted this catfish. So it is one squid bait two fishes landed.

This angler caught this 11.5kg Shovelnose ray last nite 30-10-2014 around 9pm with his spinning tackle. His friend come and ask me for help as they don’t have any gaff to land it. I aslo weigh it for them.
