Interesting Bait Rigging

I understand that this is effective for big snapper. Will it work with Singapore snapper?

Sewing

Found this from some webby, I think in this part of the world we don't do enough sewing of our baits. Now where am I going to get a chance to try this out? At the pond with a tamban?

Catch With A Prize

After work, I went to punggol pond with the intention of fishing for an hour or so before heading home and I caught a 2.5 kg grouper that was tagged (a chinese new year promotion) that came with a $58 prize money (see the red packet in my pocket). In addition, I caught 4 'drum-fish' of about a kg each and all that in less than 2 hours. I am happy!

Lost and Found

I had a dismay trip with Ricky on the eve of the Lunar New Year and so decided to seek some satisfaction at the pond. I was early, in fact the only one at the pond at that time. I spinned at the usual spots but my labor was not rewarded at all. I then decided to try out the unpredictable spot at the central cage and again there was no result after two spins. I decided to cast and park and take a break. As I was putting the rod into the rod-holder there was a violent pull and as I was totally unprepared the whole rod flew into the water and disappeared.

To cut the story short, a friend came along and I borrowed his rod and landed one snapper and to my amazement at the next cast I managed to retrieve my rod, the line had burst but the rod and reel was in working condition. The rest of the fishes were caught with my lost but found rod. I caught a total of six fishes; one was given away (not in the picture). I lost 3 barramundi on the fight but I will be back ……..

Changi With Ah Chong 9/2/2007

Took leave and went with Frank and another 3 guys to bottom-bash Changi. We caught 28 fishes but alas they are really small. The biggest is a sweet-lip of about 1kg not counting the almost almost 2 kg catfish I caught. Anway the campany is great.

Another 3 Hours At The Pond

Nothing much but quite satisfying.
