Hunt for the blur sotong!

Post by WSismylife »

Went down to punggol jetty today to hunt for my 1st sotong.reach there at 3.30 plus,a bit too early for sotong so i decided to do baiting.USe size 4 small hooks with small pieces of prawns.initally, wind very strong currents very strong, cant catch fish.keep cross line.-_-.

then at 6 plus,my bell rang.tot is the usual glassfish under the jetty eating my bait.To my surprise,a pony fish and a selar(brownback trevally) are bought up.lucky me.

Soon,night came and i give up of baiting coz the torsat are coming in and i cant see my hooks clearly(too dark).Sotong time!haha.a teen around my age has already started eging.i dun dare start coz im a noob later kena laughed at.soon another old uncle came to start eging.so,tgt we three egi.

the old uncle caught a baktao around 7 plus while the teen drop a suspected green eye sotong when reeling up.As for me, no sotong only lots of cha beehoon from my braided line.either the size 2.5 jig too light or i dunno how to egi.Time to go home!no sotong for me :(will go another day.

hope u all enjoy my long winded cr.and dbs next time u all going egi can bring me?im a blur sotong at catching sotong.LOL.

Nice, the orh kah hiah can come in group at times so re-bait quickly when you get your first one. Not bad on your first attempt on eging, at least you get to see how other people lure and land it. And change to spinning is you find the char bee hoon happening too often. You don't need super distances or cranking power when it comes to eging. :)

The groupers were from offshore. The sotongs from jetty.
