The team gathered again last weekend inclusive of an old team member Husin for another showdown.This time around,Miboh came out tops by reeling in a garoupa estimated around 2kg-2.5kg in weight.I hit another unga tanda ard 1kg in weight.The location never fails to give us surprises.More are yet to come....Till next time...

Place:Ubin
Time:181207(1530hrs)-191207(1200hrs)
It was the long awaited trip to Ubin.Miboh just came back from Australia after a year of study and is now on a vacation.The trip was planned just for him...kekeke.
We decided on an old yet new area.The old place is now restricted.But we managed to find a better one.
We reached the place ard 3pm.As it's the monsoon season now,we set up a shelter at our basecamp.By 5pm,we were ready with our gears n started fishing.
Baits that day were mixed.We had kelong squid,frozen n fresh pasir-pasir,mullets n worms.We were just waiting for the tide to recede so that we could cast into deeper waters.
When the tide was low,we proceded to the front.As expected,within the first cast with a kelong squid,we heard a ratchet alarm.It was my Daiwa rod.At the end of the line was a beatiful Ang Chor or Unga Tanda.Estimated to be ard 1.5kg-2kg.
Ard 20 mins later,my other rod had a strong bend followed by a screaming ratchet.But it ended early due to my snood line being ripped off.Damn..It was quiet after that for the rest of the team.All the killer baits were used up.Should have brought more i think.We would certainly return again.Cheers.

Recce trip was planned few weeks ago.It was to recce old places whether they could be accessible for our hunting missions.But before we went for the recce trip,we went for lokan hunting.A type of shellfish.Zulman got to know of a particular swampy area which holds plenty of them.And they were huge.Total haul estimated to be ard 12kg...heheheh.
Went for the recce trip.We were quite sad that our usual hunting area had been closed down due to restrictions.But we managed to find some new spots near to it.Would be hunting there in this few weeks time.That's all for now..ciaoww!!!
Saw this huge US naval ship passed by...
Some as big as our fists...heheh

Location:Rockers Beach(Changi)
Hi guys...It's me again.It had been way too long since i posted any reports on the blog.Sorry for the delay mates.
This time around,NazFreako picked me up from home.Reached CV ard 2200hrs.Met with Bro Y who was there to attend a DSG meeting(planning for a mini casting tournament during Deepavali holidays).We bought some baits n supplies and off to the hunting area.
Upon arrival,we did the SOP.Setting our rods n reels,rigs etc.Ard 2200hrs,i started with my netcasting for baits.I managed a handful of pasir-pasir and some night tambans.Rigs were baited n casted out.
Ard 0015hrs,Tmz n Fadly came.Nazfreako was asleep.I came over them to welcome n greet them.The usual chit chat came and a round of cigarrettes.Suddenly,a burst of a screaming ratchet sounded from nowhere.I turned around and knew it was from my Daiwa SuperCastx paired with a SHV30.Rushed to my rod,picked it up n started the battle.
On my left were a group of othe anglers.They turned out to be Botakmigrain n crew.Hello guys.Nice meeting u guyz.Helpful bunch as the line got crossed here n there.In less than 10 minutes,it was subdued.Tmz helped to gaff it.It was a beautiful spotted ray(pari lalat).It measured 7.5kg on the scale.Bait was pasir-pasir.
At 0300hrs,we decided to pack up.The ray was cut up n shared among us.It was a night to remember.Till next time,ciaoww!!!
