Fishing - Changi Beach Club Boardwalk

Our regular Friday night outing, since I picked up fishing again, after laying off for so many years.

Decided to pop by the Boardwalk, where my uncle is still working there at the coffeeshop.

As usual, arrived at about 10.30pm. Kicked up a small conversation with the folks under the big shelter, :-) so that we can grab some space on the big bench (more like a queen size wooden bed, i think) from them

Setup the gears and started our waiting game.

Other family who was there had only the mother present, so I became the "nice uncle", whole night helping the kids tying their lure, weight, hooks, etc... Arrhhh.. bunch of persistent fellas. But still, they were great company, especially for my daughter.

Suddenly, my rod strike... once, twice... On la! Started to rig in, trying to figure out if it was just the current or a big bite.... Tension was not that great, but still manage to reel in, and viola.... Starfish!

First time in my life, caught a starfish on a hook. If you look carefully, the hook was already lodged in its mouth.

Ok la, since nice colour, so I took a pic and post it here. Previous outing at Pasir Ris Pond did gave me some good bites, but deleted all the pics before I could post them.

Will be back with more..... Next destination - SAF Yacht Club.... to be continued....
