Tide is about to full. I just change the bait and cast down. Suddenly I saw my rod tip start to rattle. I pick up the rod and hold. Feel something taken the bait.

I pump it up and wind back..It take another run but not far..I slowly wind back..It surface..a long tail stingray. I get my friend to hold my rod while i grab my rope gaff and bring it up.

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.

Barracuda was caught when tide is on the way down. It took the first bait i cast out and slack the line.

It almost end of downtide. Current flow had stop. I went to change bait that i notice a little heavy at the end of the line. Slowly wind back and a pink fingermark snapper surface. Use the rod to haul it up. Infact awhile earlier, i had notice my line a bit slack and i did tighten it but found no tip rattle.

Today went early. Jig enough fresh bait. Tide is on the way up. The sun haven’t set. I decide to try a surface live bait.
Lucky enough, around 1905 hrs, the sky is still bright, a wolf herring took the bait. It rattle my rod and make two acrobatic jump on the water surface. I wind back and use the rod to haul it up.

Went there a bit late as the sky don’t look good on the early evening. Afraid that i may not able to get fresh bait when i reach there so I grab two frozen tambans from freezer for the first cast.
First cast out and i go jig for fresh bait. Luckily i manage to get enough fresh bait for the night. When sky start to turn dark, i notice my rod tip rattle. First i thought it was people knock on the jetty railing that cause the rod to shake. But when the line start to slack, i grab the rod and strike. Wind back line and a palm size fingermark snapper surface up. I used the rod to haul it up.

Friend Jumbo Li come to join me around 2230 hrs. He first cast out with a green eye squid strip bait landed a 1.2kg grouper. I use my squid net to scoop it up for him.
