Sound funny right ? Yeah…Its all begin yesterday afternoon…I was fishing there from the morning until about 1pm when the tide full…Was about to packup when Ah An and Xio Fan arrived…I decided to leave one set of tackle there as I will be back in the evening….I ask Ah An to change bait for me if he is not lazy…Good for him also as he got two rod to play…

Then…around 4pm plus while I fast a sleep….my phone ring….Ah Hon was on the line….”Your rod kena Boonnang(Golden travelly)..around 4kg…Wow..reel screaming….Will keep it alive in the water “

I was back there around 6pm…the fish still alive…weigh it…Ya…almost 4kg..

Went for a short trip….Main target is to catch squid…but did bring along a set of tackle to cast out. Current was slow today and initially bait was not lasting…Only when the tide turn that the bait was lasting. I use the left over bait from last saturday night trip.

Around 9.45pm…tide has turn up…I suddenly saw my line gone loose….Quickly I strike the rod…Heavy at the end…Easily wind in….Only when near the jetty that the fish fight back…by diving downward…

I surface it and it was a marine cat fish…..I use my hand to grab hold of my line n leader and pull it up…Estimate around 3kg..The fish ended up given to a angler there.

Every year at this time is my long lunar new year holiday…But the past few day the weather is bad so no fishing…Today weather is much better…I headed down to the jetty around 12pm.

Reach there the tide is half way up. Current was smooth…Casted out two sets of tackle with bottom and cable car live bait at the top. Today alots of tamban…You just need to jig and live bait is not a problem. In between if lucky even can get Selar fish. I got a few today.

Around 3pm…after just changing bait, I was standing just beside the rod when i saw a wolf herring surface up and grab my live bait. It grab and drag side way…causing my reel alarm to screech. I pickup my rod and strike… The fish swim downward…I wind in and the fish was at the end of my rig. I use the rod to lift it up…A nice wolf herring around a kg.

Arm with 5 pcs of frozen tamban, I headed there around 6pm. Downtide was about to end but still got some current flow. Casted out two sets of tackle with bottom feeder rig.

When to jig for live bait but no bite at all. It only after I went around trying at different spots that I manage to caught one. Quickly hookup on a cable car rig and slight down as still got day light.

After this I went around to jig again…Not long after I move off, one guy shouted for me…Saying my reel did screech and he saw a wolf herring jumping on the water surface. I went back but my rod got no action..Knowing the fish might sink downward…I waited…Only when I saw my rod tip move that I strike…YES…something at the end of the line..Winding back the line slowly…It surface up…Yup..a wolf herring …I use my rod to lift it up…estimate around a kg. Haha…my only live tamban has change into a wolf herring…
