Grunters & Grunters

Francis & I took leave today and went fishing at the Changi area with Ah Chong. We fished mostly at the ship channels. Nothing fantastics but I caught most of the fishes. Francis fishing quota ran out and he managed to catch only one grunter.

The Missing Boatman

Last saturday (4/03/07), Daryl, Frank, Adrain, Seng Chee and I were supposed to board Zainol's boat to fish the Tekong and Naval Base areas but guess what? The boatman Zainol did not turn up, I called him close to 50 times and he did not pick up his phone and later on the phone was switched off.

Nevertheless, we found a small boat that was willing to bring us fishing behind Tekong (Seng Chee dropped out) and we caught about 25 small fishes, the biggest being a flat-head of about a kg.

The next day the boatman, Zainol sent me a message giving a dubious and quite unbelievable excuse. I guess this is one boatman that I will not patronize again.
