Fishing with the kids

Fishing at East Coast at the canal next to Road Safety Park. Training my kids so that one day when I'm old, they'll bring me fishing. Impressed my kids by catching a puny rabbit fish. (What else can you catch from a drain?) Video as proof.

Marina South

Tried a new spot this morning with Joshua. Marina South - next to the Marina South Pier.
I arrived earlier and started my usual way of fishing - fishing with weights.
Action began pretty early! What seems like a garoupa bit my bait, but remain lodged in between the stone crevices. There is no way to coax the fish out. Tried pulling, relaxing, and everything! And these happened not just once, but 4 times! There must be lot's of garoupas here... Anyway, lost all my rigs.
Josh, seeing my state, decided to fish from the water surface. He used floating baits, and he caught 1 todak and 3 halfbeaks within 30 minutes! Happy man!
I've learned my lesson about fishing garoupas... There is no way to beat them by force... At least not this way... I shall go back to my "shifu" (Henry from my usual fishing equipment shop) to upgrade my skills... Will be more prepared the next time... You garoupas, watch out!

1+1+1=?

Caught 1 malabar grouper, 1 brownstripe red snapper, 1 diamond wrasse. But all mini versions! Well, at least there is action! Hope to catch bigger ones next time... Anyway, an old friend (Wee Kwong) came to the beach to meet me for lunch (and I also ran out of ammunition - i.e. prawns) and we had Ipoh Hor Fun at Old Town Cafe. Was a good catch up session.

At last!

This is a Silver Biddy - a kind of bream - I think. Happy to catch it at the jetty close to Carl's Jr. It doesn't fight much. But at least the trip yielded something... And the meat tastes good! :)
