四弯岛钓鱼 4-5 June 2011

Post by Oinkie »

A call from a friend a month ago “要去钓鱼吗” on 4-5 June 2011. No other details were given except it is at 四弯岛………………….

We went ahead for the trip not knowing what to expect…… Just go with an open mind and relax. Bring our usual tackles….

On the eve of the trip we were told to meet up at Changi Ferry Terminal at 7.30am….

On the day of the trip we met up with the other 5 anglers………

This handline caught my eyes.. For a while I begin to doubt the tackles I brought along is enough after looking at this.....

Image


Leaving Changi..

Image

Singapore land area getting bigger but the sea area for fishing is getting smaller......

Image

Image

Arrival in the town after clearing customs... Oh this town is famous for Lobsters that explains the metal lobster...

Image

Stocking provisions..

Image

Image

My favorite Apom.....

Image

Heading to the port.... While we were there loading some of the local ships were coming back and selling their catch to the operator..

Image

Image

Equipped with an echo sounder..

Image

Owner of the handline equipped with 200lb line and size 10/0 hook... Setting manual drag on his fingers...

Image

First spot jigging for selars and hard tails.. (Sorry no time to take more pictures as it was a frenzy for full 3hours...)

Image

Dinner time.. A simple fare... It was delicious with freshly fried batang....

Image

Image

Finally after a long wait we drew the first blood a 14kg Ray....

Image

Image

Yea my first..... Sweet lips...

Image

Daybreak....

Image

Image

Handliner in action...

Image

Our bait got stripped naked by pest fish...

Image

Image

Wonder is there any pot of gold over the other end???

Image

Image

Weighing the Ray..

Image

Unfortunately junior didn't survive..

Image

Image

Some of our catch..

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Home made rig... the most effective... The ones off the rack just can't withstand the fight of the hard tails, it either broke after bringing up or entangled..

Image

Image

To be continued......

I raised my eyebrows when I saw the big hook on the handline. :lol: But if you're targeting for big groupers, it's very much the norm. Those hardtails look pretty big, it must have been really fun on the your feather jigs. :D

Yes very very fun.... In fact it was more fun playing with the hard tail than the actual fishing....

Superb 柔佛边佳兰四湾岛之旅 ! :thumbsup:

Your cr reminds me of those wonderful trip I had in Sedili jigging for selars.
Now you both understand the feel ...
It's definitely more fun and thrilling than fighting biggie.
Next time have a mini competition ... highest hit no.s of full house ! :lol:

A trick with the off the shelf jigs ... to prevent rig from turning into char bee hoon,
You can split the jig into two parts or simply remove two of the hooks and shorten the rig.
Works in pair ... one do the jigging ... the other unhook the fishes.
Never leave the rig on the floor with the fishes ...
they will flipped around n you get another chunk of mess.
Hold up the rod and quickly unhook the fishes.
Sometimes ... they detached themselves and that will save you time too ....

Nice big Kaci and I am sure woofie cook it assam pedas style ? lol !

Thanks for the CR and more to come from you two ! :D

A search in the Internet on how to cook the hardtail scad aka torpedo scad aka finny scad yield only one way. That's to grill it. I grilled it in the conventional oven. Here's the result:

Taste sweet and no sauce added…
