Yes, I believe it's a False Trevally (Lactarius lactarius) too. I've never seen one before, that's an awesome catch by your friend. Do you guys mind if I use your fish photo for HLF?

Great job landing that beautiful ray, you really know your spot well. The one that got away could be a tuskfish or a grouper.

I actually rushed down to fish the moment the clock struck 12 on the 19th

You're one hardcore angler.

Sorry can't help you much on this. It's quite commonly sold here in Singapore tackle shops. If you ever visit Malaysia or Indonesia, be sure to check out their tackleshops for it.

Oh wow, I miss your catch report. The catch is awesome and the video is well made, I enjoyed it. Phase 2 starts today, anglers will be landing biggies for the next few days.

I've not fished there before as well. What sort of fishing will be doing there? Are you taking those big party boats or small pleasure crafts?

Hello there, Vidic.

That's a nice catch. I think it's still a young ray, it will grow out of its roundish shape as it grows bigger and its pattern will be be more apparent whether its reticulated or honeycomb. I personally think it's a honeycomb whipray.

The moon wrasse is a rare find indeed, I don't think I've encountered one before. It's been documented before in our waters and it's definitely not something we can see everyday.

Did you bring a tank to photograph the fish in? It's very well taken.

Your current setup should be fine for surf fishing. For live tamban baiting, I personally think size 1 hook is a little small. In terms of strength, it is okay if you're using live baiting hooks but I prefer a bigger hook for its wider mouth gap. For surf fishing I use size 2/0-3/0 for live prawns, ...

May I ask what tackles do you currently have? What's your budget like?

I admire your vigor on the long hours of fishing, getting soaked in the rain no less. Congrats to your friend on landing those big duris. Psst...having to strike and feel the first burst of the fish is the most exciting part of the fishing in my opinion. :shh: Thanks for sharing your team's catch re...

I believe that's a Staghorn Damselfish (Amblyglyphidodon curacao). Good find!

Good stuff, hope you land a big one on surf soon!
