Early Morning Hunting

Fishing early in the morning is really refreshing. Started casting and popping at around 3.00 am this morning but there was no sign of fish around. So around 4.30 am I casted my 10 feet rod and started bottom. Ah Wah together with me used hand line as usual. Around 5.30 am it was him who successfully landed a 1.8kg grouper. However, he gave it to me later. hahahahah.... :)

At 6.00 am it was my turn to land a fish. Dunno what its name is? Anyone knows? Quite happy though as I was using my new surecatch bait runner reel for the 1st time and manage to land something. Hopefully my catch using this reel will get better.

700g (???)

Caught A Baby!

A baby grouper was caught last night. It just weight 100g. Hoping next tide will have better catch coz our gangs don't really have a good catch this tide.

Grouper Again!

Started fishing at 8.00 pm tonight together with my father, Ah Wah and Chu. My father and I went home earlier at 10.30 pm. Although just fished for 2 1/2 hours, I successfully landed a small 800g grouper. Still in hunt for a red snapper. It had been such a long time since I caught my last red snapper. Hopefully manage to land 1 in my next outing.

better than nothing

Went fishing at the Sandakan Market jetty again last night with my father and Ah Wah. Didn't have any good catches, only 3 consolation fish. 1 nangking fish and 2 eels. (are their names correct?) 1 small eel weight aroung 1kg was released back to its own nature. According to a cook, the eel taste delicious so I brought home the big 1 to have a try. However it looks really disgusting to me. hahahaha.... bty it's my longgest and heaviest catch since I started fishing. hahahaha......

Here Comes At Last

It has been quite a few months back since i got my last catch. Infact I rarely goes fishing now a days since I have been busy with my table tennis schedule. However, I made myself available after a few invitations from my buddies to go fishing 2 days ago. This was the 3rd outing since the mid-term school holidays. I successfully landed a 1.1 kg grouper. In fact, it is my biggest catch of the year.

Red Snapper

After exactly 1 month without any catch, at last tonight I manage to land a 800g red snapper. It has been a busy month for me and I hardly can go fishing. I'm really satisfied with this not so big snapper.

Some people would be happy if they catch an extra large fish or may be a lot of catches to satisfied them. But for me, if I'm able to catch 1 of this on every outing, then it would be more than happy for me. If bigger or more, then I would say it is a 'BONUS'. By the way, who doesn't like bonus. hahahaha.....

Grouper for Grouper

My dad bought a grouper weighed 5.5kg 2 days ago. Will this grouper bring any luck? Last time when he bought a 4kg grouper, he managed to land a 5kg grouper. May be a 6kg grouper this time? However, tonight did go for fishing but 0 catches. Need few more days for his luck to come, maybe.
