We had spent the night there fishing….but only few small fishes caught…I left at 3am this early morning to take a rest in my mobile home and rejoin them again at 7.30am.

Tide was about to full…I had just change my bait as this morning it didn’t last….while washing my hand…I heard reel alarm went off….It was Ah Lai rod…..Ah Hong was beside it and he pickup and strike….YES..IT IS ON….Ah Lai didn’t put cable car rig….so it is a fish that take the bottom bait…Wow…I was thinking could it be a cobia again…

Truly…I saw the fish was swimming inward after the initial run….I straight away fixed up my gaff….Before my gaff was ready…the fish already reach infront of the jetty railing….It then make deep dive downward….luckily…Ah Hong was able to hold it up….By now Ah An is ready with his gaff….He try one but missed….I went over and Ah Hong had reposition the fish…I gaff it and bring it up….WOW…another Cobia landed within a week….It hit the scale at 7kg.

Caught this wolf herring on cable car rig with live tamban this evening around 6.30pm.

My friend BC caught this KBL at a east coast breakwater stone last night around 11pm. Rod is a Loomis Franklin Big game 12ft pair with a Abu 6500 Elite reel. Bait is live prawn on a two hooks pasternoster rig.

Went to the jetty around 6pm. It was quite crowded with anglers and cyclist. Manage to jig a few tamban as bait. Only setup one rod and casted out. The downtide was coming to the end after a good current flow. Around 7.30pm…I saw my rod tip shake alittle….went closer to look…it was just moving slowly up and down….I decided to do a full strike,,,,Yes…ON….heavy at the end…..was thinking could it be a small marine cat fish ???? But after winding awhile….I know I had a different fish at the end of the line…It just fight differently…..When surface…it was a small conger eel around one kilo plus….Wow….yesterday night I was just telling my buddy that the conger eel should be coming soon around this time….and tonight I already got it…haha….

Tide was on the way up. Bait was quite lasting at this stage..Suddenly…there was a water splash in the sea….and AH ONG rod the line gone slack…LK was the first to spot it….He pickup the rod, wind back the loose line and strike…Yes…a full tension on the line and the rod bend….The fish was swimming inward….He passes the rod back to AH ONG the owner….Very fast the fish surface….From far I can see a wide body fish coming in….It is definitely a good fish and not a marine catfish which is very commonly landed at the jetty on this few weeks. Without hesitation…I use AH ONG squid net to scoop it up. Wow… a fat silver barramundi was on the floor….It hit the scale at 5.5kg. It also set a new mark on barramundi landed there this year.

The Down tide is about to end. The current already stop flowing…We had been fishing since the early night and there is no action…..Earlier ago….POH….one of my buddy was grumbling water was so nice and why not even a barracuda come to take our bait….I answer him that the barracuda here had been badly pamper and if no fresh squid as bait there dont eat….

As now is already near to the year end….squid is quite rare now…..I only manage to caught a few and all had been use as bait….I still need to caught one more for Ah AN to use. Luckily not long after I manage to get one. I pass it to AN and he change it and casted out.

Just a few minute later….POH heard a fish jumping out of water and as he was standing near AN rod. He instantly pickup the rod and do a hard strike…..YES ON….AN come on and take over the rod….The fish swim inward…..he easily wind back….It surface….. BARRACUDA….yes….it take fresh squid….HONG grab hold of the leader and haul it up….I place my squid net below the fish as safty net…A near to 2kg fish landed..

My buddy POW caught this lobster last night. It took his squid bait and was hook on one of the leg. He wind in slowly and when surface, I use my squid net to scoop it up.
