I think you've got it right, good job!

I believe you're referring to shovelnose ray.

Interesting catches and they're definitely the less common species in our waters, you must be a frequent visitor to BJT. There's usually plenty of action if you use sabiki jig with prawn meat there, and more often so there will be puffers chewing off your hooks.

Thanks for sharing your catches!

Welcome to HLF, fishing_chinchilla. I'm not too sure when it comes to Gobies but I think it might be a Peacock shrimpgoby, it helps if we can see its dorsal fin. Nice little catch there.

I would just avoid the common farmed species like Barramundi, Red Snapper and Groupers. You can try other fishes like mackerels, sea breams, scads, yellowtails and threadfins that are less likely bred.

Personally, I would avoid fish species that are farmed altogether. They are bred in nets and have no where to run when the contaminated water reaches them. They may accumulate high levels of toxin in their body over time but not enough to kill them. Then you wonder if such live stock gets into the m...

I don't think Mindef differentiates between nitec and higher nitec when it comes to enlisting. Chances of getting enlisted as mono intake is high with nitec, it also has to do with the current demand for each vocation and unit. You also have chances of getting enlisted in SPF and SCDF. For Army mono...

If you like reef walking, you can check out St John's/Lazarus island as well. I've just learnt that they now have ferry that goes from Marina South Pier(Via St John's) to Sister Islands too.

Find time to do some fishing, there's plenty of time left to work and worry. That said, I fish don't get to fish often either. I think I had less than 10 trips last year with mostly bad catches, but every trip was worth my time!

It's good to hear from you again SGPU!

That is indeed a juvenile bluering angelfish, nice find there. Was it trapped in a tide pool?

Welcome to HLF, Maison.

Yes, it does look like you've got it right.

I am not too sure, perhaps it is stressed or changes its colour to blend with the new environment.

I want to say this is a yellow shrimp goby but they have dots instead of those blue stripes. Nice catch but I'm not quite sure of the exact species.

This is definitely one of the less common leatherjackets, thanks for sharing.
