Ah An landed this 2kg Threadfin during the fast flowing downtide. It took the bait and just cause a light screech on the reel. The fish was wash down by the strong current flow. It only when the rod tip shake that he decided to strike. He wind it in and when I saw it was a threadfin…I took my squid net and scoop it up.
Earlier in the night….I caught a 2kg Big mouth catfish….I was away scooping squid when the fish strike….It was Ah An who wind in for me. This time I was using a Penn Powergraph surf fixed spool rod pair with a Silstar AX 80 spinning reel.

Fishing at the jetty….the bait was not lasting….so today with a good running tide….decided to join friends for a go at the beach…
As the full tide was around 1.30pm…..we decide to start around 10am….LK and An both of them early in the morning went to the jetty to get fresh tamban for bait.
We setup and casted out…total there is 9 rods….Tide is already mid way up…..JW was the first to hit….He saw his rod rattle and he strike…..without much effort….a nice 1kg threadfin was wind in….
With this…it boosted our moral….everbody changing bait….more often….An hour later…..suddenly LK rod bent and his reel screech…..He rush to strike and the fish jump up from the water surface….WOW….threadfin again….with the aid of the wave….he slight in the fish…..It hit the scale at 1.8kg….
Fantastic….we never dream of getting this at the beach….But….it happen…….We pack off around 2pm when the tide turn down.

Ah Pow landed this 3.2kg barracuda slightly after midnight. I was away with my gaff when the fish strike. He tame it after some hard fight while the fish make acrobatic jump. I was call to gaff for him while I was waited for another fish to surface some distance away. In the end the other fish got free when the line break.
Caught this Dog Shark last night around 10pm. It took my cuttle fish bait and the line gone slack. Weight should be around 2kg.
This is what happen when U tie your catches in the water below the jetty. It already happen few time back. Grouper, cat fish, sickle fish all ended with only the head left. Someone there below is sharing your catches. So next time U want to keep your catches alive, think twice.

We all don’t need to work today as it is the lunar new year eve. We suggest go for a early morning fishing. Ah Ann was the first to reach around 6am follow by Hong and Lai. I went they around 8am. Tide was on the way up and the current was smooth. We cast a bottom bait and follow by a cable car rig on the top. Live tamban was alot so no problem of having live bait.
My rod was the first on action when I hookup a garfish about 400g on my cable car rig. Ann follow soon also a same size garfish with the same method as mine.
Then when the tide full, Ann reel alarm goes off. He strike and a queenfish was saw jumping out of the water surface. He fought for awhile before pass it to Hong to play. I get the gaff ready and Ann make a fast gaff and we pull it up. It hit the scale at 3.3kg. A good size especially on a cable car rig. The fish was later fillet out the meat and I bring it back. I going to have a fresh fish n chip this lunar new year.

Roco caught this 5.5kg Folk Tail Marine Cat Fish when the tide is mid way up. It took the bait so hard that it screech the reel alarm and tug the rod out off it original position. Roco strike hard and the fish was swept along with the strong current flow. After some good pump on the rod manage to bring it close to the jetty. He ask me to take over as he went to prepare the gaff. I bring it to the water surface and he gaff it up.

Leng Kia landed this 3kg giant herring when the tide is turning up. It took the bait and the reel screech follow by a acrobatic jump on the water surface. At first Leng Kia thought it was another barracuda as he had caught a smaller one around 1kg plus earlier of the evening. This fish didn’t fought much and it was easily wind back. I grab hold of the line and haul it up the jetty. After photos taking…Leng Kia wanted to release it back into the sea as this fish got alot of bone. I took it and put it on the flooor as I thought of given it to someone who know how to cook it. When the drink seller come along, she saw it and was interested. I joke with her saying how about I exchange this fish with her for three chicken burger. She agreed and the deal is over. At the end, Leng Kia, Roco and me each has a burger to eat for free.
I took the photo with the fish on behalf for Leng Kia.
