A long night out fishing with two friends. Bait is defrost and fresh squid mixed used. Lobster 600g, Sickle fish 710g and Fingermark snapper 500g. Smaller fish Emperor fish, Sweetlip and Teeboon(Yellow stripe).
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.
Went with friends on a long night fishing. Tide was going down. Current flow are strong. I caught a Golden cat fish about 1.8kg with a live cuttle fish as bait. Friend caught three palm size Fingermark snapper with squid as bait. I steam two snapper for lunch this afternoon without frozen it.

DeLiang Yee caught this 9.5kg long tail brown stingray with his newly bought Penn Ground Cast rod when the tide is full. The fish took the bait and run causing his reel alarm to scream.

For pass two weeks, bait casted down at the jetty had not been lasting. It was finished up quickly by crabs and many other seabed creatures.
But last night thing had change. It was quite lasting from the evening with my first cast. Tide full and turn downward with a strong current flow. But the current start to slow down around 2300hrs. I look up my rod and saw it was shaking up and down. I went over to strike hard. Yes..fish ON.
Slowly wind back and up come a good size golden snapper 735g when weigh. It took my fresh herring bait.
