A catch is a catch

Has some left over live prawns from last night fruitless trip at Kelong Walk, so went to exhaust the ammunition this morning at 7am at mini jetty outside Carl's Jr. The live prawns lured nothing but the dead prawn meat landed this one.
This guy may be small but very strong. Once hooked, it buried itself sturdily under the sea-bed such that it created a "sunkut" feeling for me. But I was not about to be tricked. I left the line alone and once in a while pump it in. Finally, I pulled directly on the line and it gave way. Happy to land my first stingray. Small, yes, but it will be an experience for me to deal with it's bigger cousins next time.
Finished the morning at 9am with a delivious breakfast at Old Town Cafe. :)
