year end consolation at least...

finally got something after many weeks of nothing... but still lamenting over the got away biggie Bara last week.. the guy slammed onto my minnow just 5m from me and make a turnaround  2o'clock dash for about 30m before leaping out of water..on near max drag on my Calcutta TE ...suddenly it seems to have given up abruptly and i was able to retreive my line quite effortless but when it saw me it make another attempt to towards the pylon at 10'oclock and before i realized it actually got itself wrap round it and broken itself free when i lost the tension of the line with my lure got embedded on the pylon wall. What a dirty player..i got owned :(

now this one below is nothin to shout about ...at least i didnt end with nothin for the year.. To all my friends out there a blessed new year with abundance of line screamer :)

pest control

Just a sweet couple of hours getaway from city life matters alot. A 3 ft pest is quite fun on light line :)

Greedy little one without a care in the world if the lure is as big as itself

a break from fishing did wonders indeed

Never knew a break from fishing did wonders for my fishing in particular this trip... ya take a month off fishing since i injured my hand . This trip was sweet as i have not hit the water for weeks and the weather was perfect . The water was pristine surprisingly as we got shower the night before. On this particular spot that i was standing on i could see into the water and its surrounding corals within the radius of 20m.

First cast was a Yozuri Tobimaru ocean blue floatin minnow at constant  high speed crankin to test the ground...yield nothin in all cast until the 5th when something slammed into my lure and took it underneath the water and before i could react to the tension of my line with just a few cranks of the handle the fish immediately burst off with my lure. Upon retrieving the line the Alberto's knot between the main and the leader were intact but the end of the leader suggest that there could be a slippage in connection to the lure..

Next comes my Yozuri Crystal Chartreuse suspension minnow... crank,twitch,crank,twitch.. castin over the corals and retreivin across into the coral patch... ya suicide mission as the lure can get snag easily haha.. On my 2nd cast with the lure cuttin across into the coral, i saw it so clearly that a dark shadow came out of the coral and grabbed the lure and dived back in...this time i aint gonna loose it.man...maintain my line tension and slowly pumped in the guy.. :)

secret spot in a foreign land

Poppin from rocks without success

Change to minnows

Fish on!!

this cuda looks friendly doesnt have the kind of menacing look and was returned safely back to the waters.

Queenie that never make it alive



I tried to revive this Queen frantically for 10 mins without success.The Remora was the only survival that was returned to the water. Im not sure if this was the returnin Queen that i caught 2 mths ago at the same spot (look at 8th Oct 2010)as they do have the same body scars and pigmentation but sad this time round it didnt make it :( The battle was fought in a mornin pourin rain..

Queenie after a long time

Was on leave today so got down to my backyard 4 hrs into the receding tide. Never would i thought i would nail this Queenie :)
