7th boat trip (Ah Soon – Changi)

Went Boating with Calvin, KPO, Weng Hoe and friends, Phua.

It was a wet trip raining whole day none stop but it never stop the anglers from the trip.

Calvin came and pick me up at 645 together with KPO and Ah Hoe which he fetch from Yew Tee on the way to my house. Parked the car at the beach car park and make our way through the rain to the market. Meet with 2 enthu anglers at the market for our breakfast and buy all the accessories for the trip including tidbit and drink.



It was a wet day indeed. Changed a few spot with no bite at all. Then suddenly Connie caught the first fish of the day, a small grouper. Follow by Ah Soon Gu Huud. Calvin and Simon(Hoe's Friend) both caught a small sotong as well... using size 1/0-2/0 hook on live prawn. Another Hoe friend caught a ah seng but he released it.



All was slow moving then suddenly, I saw my rod took a u bend. Went to grab my rod...pump my rod and ... strike... FISH ON... Line went out all the way... i wanted to reel in the line but was not possible.. it was until a while later .... after a few pump.. i am able to reel in... the fish was strong... was letting it run for a few times and reeling in.. i managed to see a shining body... A QUEENIE.. YES.. Ah Soon came and want to scope the fish up using net but was unable to do so ... COZ some one line was in the way... Strange... SImon was brave enough to lie down by the boat side and lip grip the fish... To my surprise... after the fish came up.. Up came A full set fishing ROD... HUH???!!!??? wat happen... ??? until then I know that actually Phua rod was pull down by the fish when it entangle his line... I think he will be very sad if the set is really gone ... HENG AR.!!!!

Stradic 8000 + Loomis ROD.. whole set 700+++

Wah..

After that not much action .. change to the known Chor Beng Spot.. Calvin manage to pull one up..

Ah Hoe also manage to foul hook a stingray... KPO still thinking that she caught the ray initally as her line also got entangled in the process.

Then tats abt the end of the trip....

5th Boat trip (George – Punggol)

(Phua, Calvin, Connie, John Lee, Collin Tan, Steven, Eaugene, Ah Hoan, Engkeat, Lau Peng)
I booked this boatman's boat at around end april for 23 may(sun). As the date get nearer, I give ZAINOL a call on 17 may(mon) for all the detail including where to meet, where to get the prawns and what time we will reach back to mainland. He told me that the I jus call him around 8 so that he can confirm with me whether to board at changi or the yacht club there.

There come the day. All our gear is ready. 2kg of Prawn is bought. After having breakfast at changi village. Around 750AM, I give him a call. The guy didnt pick up. I was still thinking that he maybe driving his boat and may not be able to pick up. 815AM called again no pick up. I keeps calling for more than 30 time using different no. still no pick up.

Call until 9AM. Finally give up. decide to go to the yacht club to try looking for him. Once there, We asked a few uncle there if they know him. To our surpise, they told us that HE HAS LEFT with another group.

No choice head to punggol to see if can get any other boat man. Was lucky and managed to get GEORGE. Although Charges are higher than change side. The service was really good. Even include meal. Will board this trip again.

4th boat trip(Ah Hui - Punggol)

(Phua, Calvin, Connie, John Lee, Collin Tan, Steven)
Didn’t get much hook up as maybe the prawn we are trying(from Sheng Siong) is not appealing to the fished.
