2005 October 1-3 Tanjong Pinang Trip

Have not been to TP for over a year and decided to join this group (8 anglers) for 2 nights of fishing. I must say that the thing that I enjoyed most was the service. There is no place like TP when it comes to service.
The anglers wanted good eating fishes rather that just big fishes and told the boatman specifically not to target bulat. As a result, not a single bulat, my first trip to TP that has no bulat.
Anyway the fishes:

    • red snapper - 64, mostly table size, the biggest is about 4 kg
      red emperor - 4, biggest about 2 kg
    • Ang chor - 1 only about 4 kg despite the fact the we
      have plenty of fresh squids on the first night
    • Big grouper - 3, the biggest must be slightly more than 10 kg, maxed someone's bogger grip
    • Normal grouper - 3, between 1 to 2 kg
    • Chinaman fish - 8kg and 10 kg
    • Cobia - 4 - 3 about 2 kg, 1 about 10 kg
    • Parrot - 2 - about 1kg and 2 kg
    • Ray - 4 rays, the biggest about 30 kg
    • Emperor and sweetlips and other coral fishes - did not bother to count
    • Marine cat fish - whole of the first night, too many to count, mostly were the sharp nose type and some can pull 20 pounds drag on Ishida
