Suppose to go for a relax trip but end up fighting a monster ray. Tide was on the way up when Deliang Yee cast out his squid bait.

Around 9pm, his reel alarm scream. He grab the rod and strike hard. Fish On ! The fish start out a good long run toward the deeper water stripping half the spool line. It manage to stop and we started gaining line back. The tug of war began and it lasted for one and half hours which both of us took turn to fight. I manage to surface it and Deliang Yee hook the first gaff in. I pass the rod to Chin Wey and i hook in the second gaff. Four of us manage to pull it up over the jetty railing after few try and halt. Estimate the weigh is between 70 to 80kg.

Tide was about to turn up when I reach there. Setup tackles and jig for fresh bait. This few days only baby herring around so no other choices. Cast out the fresh bait and wait as now tide had turn up with very smooth current flow.

Around 1835 hrs, while I was taking my packet dinner, I saw my Ugly stick rod bend and my reel start to scream with line running out fast. Put my dinner aside and grab the rod to strike. Fish On !..It start to strip out my line..I had to tighten the drag to stop it for going to far and deep. After the initial run, it stop and turn around. I gain back my line quickly and follow by few tug of war before i able to bring it near jetty and surface up. Brown stingray..after almost three years of waiting.(last caught June 2021).j As i was solo fishing today, i play the fish until it weaken before i hand over the rod to a cyclist who offer to help. Quickly, i grab my rope gaff and bring it up. 6.5kg

Went for a night trip. Tide was on the way up. Current flow was smooth. Manage to jig some fresh bait and cast down. Bait was lasting at this period. Friends Deliang Yee join me awhile later.

Around 1915 hrs, I saw my rod tip rattle and the main line slack. I grab the rod and pump hard. Hookup! The fish make a acrobatic jump on the water surface far out. I slowly wind back my line. When it near the jetty, i saw it was a Threadfin. I ask Deliang Yee to grab my sotong net and scoop it up.
