My first fishing trip for this year. Tide was on the way down. I start at the evening and manage to jig for some fresh bait fish. Setup two set of tackles both with long snood bottom feeder rig. Bait was lasting.

Around 2055 hrs, I saw my ugly stick rod tip bend and shaking. Strike had and fish on. Slowly wind back n a threadfin surface up. Follow the motion, I use the rod to haul it up.

Tide is on the way up. It is my first cast on this rod. The fish took the bait and cause my reel to screech. It then swim toward the deeper water. I set the hook hard and had a little tug of war between us. I manage to wind it nearer after that. When it surface up, a big barracuda appear. I get a young angler there to hold on the rod and i grab my gaff. Upon bring it up, it weigh 4.5kg.

This early morning caught this fingermark snapper by using a half tamban i scoop from a ribbon fish mouth. The ribbon fish caught a tamban and was just below my squid lamp. I try to scoop it but it escape and leave behind half part of the tamban bait. I had been using fresh squid tonight as i had no other bait but it just no bite. Surprisingly a half tamban work.
