The jetty was quite empty this morning. Its seldom happen on a sunday morning. I went back there early after some rest on my mobile home last night. Tide was already half way up and the current flow was smooth. Tamban was quite rare. We only manage to jig a few fresh one.
Around 8am. Ah An Penn PPT side winder rod pair with his Abu 10000C got a slide screech. He strike and a wolf herring was seen jumping on the water surface. Without much effort, he bring it close and use the rod to lift it up. It weigh around 1kg.
We continue fishing. When the tide was about to full around 10.45am, I saw my big game rod pair with a Daiwa saltist 20H reel the rod tip shake. I went to stike it and the fish is on. It first struggle under the water before surface up and make a few acrobatic. This few jump it manage to cross the line on the next rod. I ask Ah Bee to come over to untangle it and use his hand to lift it up. It weigh 1.2kg on the scale.
I packup around 11am while Ah An, Ah Bee and the rest continue their fish hunting. What a good morning fishing with this good size wolf herring aka Ikan Parang aka Sai Toh her.
Road leading to bedok jetty was close this morning for the youth olympic game so we headed to changi beach for a day of surf fishing competition. We started from 9am and ended at 4pm.
Total there are 10 anglers participating with 10 long surf rods. We used assorted baits like tamban, cuttle fish and freshly caught sandeel. We were hoping to land some ray there but seem today the big ray is not around. Only saw one other angler fishing nearby caught one roti prata kosong.
Early part of the day it was drizzling rain non stop. Only at around 2pm that the weather turn fine. Tide full at around 2.45pm and that was where the bite started to come in.
The result ended with Adam winning first with a 1kg flat head. Second n third was Yusof with a 500g and 400g flat head.
Many thanks to Ah An and Ah Bee for their effort of getting the fresh tamban. Yusof for catching the sea worm on the spot as bait for the sandeel.
Its a great gathering. If the weather is good in the morning, the result might be much better.
