11/03/2006: Five of us tried out this bum-boat off Changi and we basically fished around the Tekong area. In total we had 14 snappers, the biggest was about 600 grams and the rest about 300 to 400 grams. My catch rate was good - I caught 7 or 8 of the snappers.
My usual fishing buddies don't do weekday local fishing trips. Francis, the only buddy that is mad enough to take leave and fish on a weekday could not make it and so I went alone to fish with Ah Chong around the Tekong area. The catch was pretty good but I felt rather lonely and left for shore at about 3 pm - Ah Chong may be a good boatman but he is certainly not the best companion. Anyway the photos, not the best - taken using my handphone:

Frank, Francis, Moo, 2 new young guys (sorry forgot their names) and I went fishing with Ah Chong in the Changi Area. The bite rate was poor but we did have 7 diamond trevallies. It was however a bad day for me, I lost a chermin and only managed to hook up a small snapper. My trevally quota has run out ......
I went fishing with Ah Eng around the Jurong Island area today. We drifted the whole day and I was rewarded with a surprise catch - a 2 kg plus golden travelly. It put on an impressive fight, much better than the infamous golden snapper. The rest of the catch, pretty good I must say:
The following links to some great parrot fishing clips were sent to me by Chris and there is only one word for it - wow!

I bought a Shimano Cardiff 300A and matched it with a Berkley rod this morning and used it for the trip. I caught the most fishes today. I'm very happy with the set.

May all my fishing trips this year result in such unadulterated pleasure.
I spent the last week of December 2005 touring the beautiful and exotic land of Yunnan, China. It is a mountainous region with scenic spots and many mysterious and colorful tribal groups. I had a good time with my family, I was happy, amused and hilarious, I ate some great and sometimes strange food, I was in awe with the sceneries, I climbed mountains and rested well in comfortable hotels and I filled all three of my SD cards with memorable photos and yet wished I had more cards. Nevertheless, I do think of fishing every now and then … 
Wow, I hope that gets your attention. This is from a catch report on Spratly found in the Malaysian fishing forum. There are just so many places to fish but so little time and too much commitment in life. Click and drool here.
This is the world's record for largest freshwater fish, at 646 pounds (293 kg). It is a Mekong catfish. Giant fish researchers - led by Zeb Hogan of the WWF and University of Wisconson tried to save it so it could spawn yet again, but it died and was consumed by hungry villagers.
A 15 year old girl, Sara Hayward caught a record breaking wahoo off Cabo San Lucas, Baja California, Mexico. The fish weighs a whopping 184 pounds. That's not just 30 pounds more than the record, that's 50 pounds more than she herself weighs.
