Grouper

Date: 07-07-2025. Time: 2015 hrs.

Went to the beach for a short trip. Tide was about to full when i hit this 1.2kg grouper. It took my defrost squid bait on a long snood bottom feeder rig. Easily landed it as it didn’t struggle much on my light surf tackle.

A very exciting trip

Date: 16-06-2025

Went solo on this trip and it turn out very thrilling. First fish caught was a small grey shark taking the bait when tide is still going down. Released after photo taking.

Second fish is a golden snapper. It took my bait just after i cast out. I can feel the pull when it bite. At that moment, i still holding the rod with one hand. I immediately strike it but feel nothing. So i place the rod down on the rod stand. It pull again and rod bend and the rod stand gave way. Rod almost goes into the sea if i was not near it. I grab it n strike but still feel nothing. I again put the rod back on the rod stand after re position it. This time it pull again the third time..i strike hard with both hand and fish on. Turn out to be a golden snapper.

I re bait the rod and cast down again then i bring the fish to take photo. But when i turn around to look at the rod just about a minute after, one of the rod was missing. I ran over to look and the rod and the stand had gave way and fell down at the stone breaker. Very lucky the fish is not big. If not the rod had gone. I wind it in an the second golden snapper up.

The third golden snapper was caught by another rod.

And finishing off is a small brown ray which i released after taking photo.

Small Flat Head

Date: 10-04-2025. Time: 2210 hrs

Tide is about to full. Current flow had slow down. I saw my line had some slack. Decide to check it out. Wind back this small flat head. Its not a easy night out. Bait is not lasting. So lots of hard work on changing bait often. Luckly i manage to get enough of fresh herring in the early evening for the whole trip.
