Sure Catch

Josh and I each bought a 10ft "sure catch" rod yesterday at the tackle shop at changi village. Only $21. Cheapest in Singapore. We thought this will be our chance to show off our "extra-long" thingi at the beach. So, we took our new gear to Pasir Ris beach to try it out.

To our dismay, the old man at the beach took one look at our "sure catch", lighted his pipe and said, "Sure catch? Sure spoil one." Nevermind, at $21, even spoil won't feel that bad!

That night, my "sure catch" got its first catch at Bedok Jetty. It was an useless sea-snake. It wrapped itself around my bait and suffocated itself. No wonder I felt a few jerks on my line and then... dead silence again. I hope "sure catch" will do better next time...
