new lures arrived at the door..

Can't wait to lay my hands on these lures that i ordered from tackledirect. The Shimano Waxwing lures(surprising not available here in Singapore) are the second lot that i have ordered from online.Sad and shock to say i have lost all the 1st lot due to careless loading of the lures from casting and the used of light lines over a period of time. Expensive lesson learned indeed, this time i'll be careful though. Then there is the Bill Lewis Rat L trap which i will see how it will fair in this part of the world :)

Camo Grouper for the day

Pretty decent size hookup near the shore today...another ambusher that turn up from nowhere and slammed into my diving lure just 2 m from where i was standing.. sometimes its really pointless to cast far haha..

how i wish this was my fishin hole

Coral Trout

have not wet my lines for a month...nothin to shout about but was surprised to find this so close to the shore today :)

Jacky business on a hot mid day

This guy took my lure just 3m from where i was standing on the rocks as i was retreiving my last cast and was preparing to take a break under the scorching sun. It completely took me by surprise as my rod bended and when i look down in that split second i saw a dark shadow running away and immediately my line hit the snag. It stubbornly refused to budge and i have no choice but to wait for it to come out of its hiding but maintain tension on the line. After a couple of mins i felt movement on the line and i immediately pumped and the fish was easily subdued to surface. On close examination i realised there was fray on the flurocarbon leader line..well i could have lose it :)

tryin out a new baitcaster

A new Shimano Calcutta TE 200GT which landed a todak. This reel  can really cast a mile with the correct lure weight, line weight and technique though haha..

mangrove jackin

This is a feisty one that literally got me down on hands and knees just to pluck it out of its hidings as u can see from its battered body
