Fish Frenzy

Popped down to SAF Yacht Club again on 21 April 2007. Arrived there about 6.30 pm and it was a bit crowded. Lots of action at the end of the Jetty, just under the big umbrella as you can hear a lot of noise and looked congested.

Then was about to setup my rods, when the fishing brudder next to us called me... Bro, come let's go to end of jetty. Many Mangrove Jack there, crazy. Already up 60~70 pcs already, since 5 plus.

What? A Frenzy?
What the heck... quickly setup my heavier rod and popped on 2 live prawns and off we went to end of the jetty, where everyone was almost fishing shoulder to shoulder.

True enough, they were mid-sizes, popping up one after another. No casting, no fanciful jigs, just drop in the line and wait. Then I also come to realise what is luck.

Managed only 1, and I had 4 consecutive bites, and the fish popped under the jetty and got stuck! And I was not the only unlucky ones. Some say maybe grouper, or big one, or this or that. I don't need those crab. I just wanna get that bugger.

Finally, total count :-
Fish - 1
Apollo Jigs with weight, and countles length of line - 4

Best part of the story:-
A family of many brothers and sisters (ave. age 40+), uncles and aunties where all over the end of the jetty, and I guess they already filled up their two 40L Colemans... and one auntie still had the cheek to say... "Ai ya, Sng Doo Pang Buay Loh Liao Lah" (Sigh, the fridge can't fit in all these fishes already!"

Pang Buay Lor, Dng Choo lor... Let the other anglers have the spot and get some...

After a while, didn't really enjoyed the blaberring of the family, so decided to leave the spot and go back to my usual spot and cast out and do the usual waiting game.

Enjoy the stars and sea breeze with my familiy. Niceeeeee...........
