Friends Bernard Tan caught this 2kg Threadfin salmon when the uptide current slow down. The fish is wind back by Simon Yeo who is first to strike the rod when the reel alarm scream. I scoop it up by using my scoop net.

Date: 13-07-2023. Rod: Penn Slammer 9ft. Reel: ES12000. Rig: Long snood bottom live bait. Bait: Fresh baby cuttle fish and Live kunning.

Tide had already turn down and the current is picking up fast. I manage to scoop up a baby cuttle fish and quickly use it as bait then cast it out. First check on the bait after 20 minute later was still fully intact. I cast it out again. Within a minute, i saw my rod tip bend down and the reel alarm screech. I pickup and strike..Yes fish on…slowly wind back and a good palm size fingermark snapper appear on the water surface. I used the rod to haul it up.

Around in the early morning after my last cast, when i was cutting the fish, my reel screech again. My friend pickup the rod and strike. I quickly wash my hand and take over. I can feel the fish struggling at the end of the line. Slowly wind back and a lizard shark appear. It took my live kunning bait and was hook on the lip. Unhook, took a photo and released it back.

After few days of resting, I headed back to the jetty in the late evening. Tide was on the way up. The south east wind was blowing endlessly causing the water very choppy. Tonight i only setup one set of fixed spool tackle. On my second bait change, i notice my line went slack. I tighten the line a little and the rod tip rattle. I pickup the line n strike. A little heavy at the end and follow by jerking along the line when i wind back. It turn out to be a lizard shark about two over feet long. It was deeply hook behind the throat and i can’t retrieve the hook. Decided to keep it as food.

Another night out on fishing. When the tide started to change direction, caught this Pink Fingermark snapper with a fresh kunning (yellow stripe scad) as bait.

Date: 19-05-2023. Time:20.00hrs. Rod: Penn Slammer 9ft. Reel : EA 12000. Bait; Fresh herring.

Reach there around 6pm. Still got day light so quickly jig for some fresh tamban. Was surprised as just few anglers around as compare to other Friday evening.

When night fall, I am the only angler there. Tide was up coming and the southern wind was strong. Water was choppy.

Around 20.00hrs, suddenly i saw my rod tip bend and follow by a screech on the reel alarm. I strike hard on the rod. Feel some heavy at the line end. Great..fish on…i wind back the line slowly….a threadfin appear on the water surface…i steer it close to my squid light and ask a men who was walking around to help grab my squid net and scoop it up.

Received my 66yrs birthday cake from the sea dragon king make of baby shrimp.

Date: 19/03/2023. Time: 2245 hrs. Rod: Penn Slammer 9ft. Reel: EA12000 spinning. Rig: Long Snood Bottom Feeder. Bait: Fresh night herring.

The tide full tonight around 2258 hrs. I just can’t resist the opportunity so decided to go for a short trip. To my surprise, the night herring was not biting as last night. After some hard work, i manage to get just eight pcs for my two sets of tackle.

Luckily, bait casted out was lasting and the reward come just few minutes to full tide. I was chatting with friend when i saw my rod rattle. I strike the rod hard and feel a fish was at the bottom end. Winding back slowly, i told my friend to get the landing net and lower down to the water surface. I drag the fish into the net and pull it up. It weighs slightly over a kg on the scale.

Hookup a good size lobster last nite on my bottom feeder rig with a fresh night herring as bait while the tide had full and current flow slow down. I saw my line slack a bit and decide to check on it. After a hard strike, i feel something struggling at the end. My mind thought was another eel which my friend Bernard Tan had landed one earlier. I carefully wind in the line and we saw a lobster about 450g size surface up. Friend Clayton Peh grab his scooping net and bring it up.
