Like father like son

I could foresee Sean (Josh's son) becoming a fishing sportsman one day. He is seen here holding the bream which Josh caught on a fishing trip in Sydney. Just look at the pro-way he held the fish.
(PS: They should have fishing as an Olympic sports)

How it all started

My fishing (for men and for fish) buddy - Josh - caught this pomfret-looking fish one day with his "toy fishing set". So I got my own toy set too.
But I got no luck. And so I went fishing only once in a loooong while.
Until one day on a stormy morning on Bedok Jetty, I caught "tons" of tambans.
Since then, there is no more turning back...

Live Yellowtail Fusilier

On the same day, caught a teenage yellowtail fusilier. Managed to keep it in my aquarium for a few days before it became tablefare...

Sorry that all the fish I caught has to become part of me.

Back issue #2

This was the other queen fish...

Caught on 21 Oct 08 morning. This time I was more "pro" already and used a "tamban" as bait. And I faught the fish myself. But still need my Malay brother to help me hoise it out with his strong arms. But guess I'm improving! :)

Now, I'm preparing myself for #3. God be with me.

Catch report: Date - 21/10/08; Time - 1100; Venue - Bedok Jetty; Low - 0920, 1.8; High - 1511, 2.9

Some back issues

Caught 2 queen fishes in the last 2 months. Starting from the first...



This is the first major catch of my life, caught on 22 Sep 08, morning @ Bedok Jetty with an unassuming "kelong" as bait. Certainly beginner's luck!
For this catch, I was caught off guard and shouted loudly for help. So some Malay brothers came to my rescue and helped me fish it out of the water with a net. Thanks bro!

Introductory Post

Finally got down to blogging all my fishing stuff.
These are great memories that should be preserved at least for the span of my life.
I hope to be able to post many pictures of great fishes in the coming days. :)
