5th june test water trip with ah ben of changi yacht club.
Ah Ben: 97668838
his boat's max pax including the boatman comfortable 7.
2 X new high powered motor. ah ben, is a highly enthusiastic fisherman himself. he waste no time travelling from spot to spot. he kept emphasizing time is precious.
onboard, i was kept occupied with his stories. catches required 200 - 300lbs leader. his expedition from singapore to mersing. his understandings towards fishing. the tackles he had experienced with. no, he is no elder than 40. at most 30 odds.
baits provided. live squid, prawns, and crabs.
the tide wasn't exactly ideal for my pe3 set up. but i managed the biggest onboard yet again though only 3lbs.
0113 2.8 H
0807 0.3 L
1513 2.4 H
2018 1.4 L
he was so confident as ben had promised him, else he would swim back with his life jacket
poor him, couldn't take the sea state, luckily he managed this
getting the live crab ready
call him to fix a date with him today . . . also expressed what you would like to target. he promise to please whoever with the best of luck

Re: offshore with Ah Ben
Yes !!! This is the CR that I like like like !
Though the catch for this trip had nothing to brag about ...
Pics speaks a better CR than the actual catch.
The size of the hook, the poundage of the leader ...
The way the "bait" was presented = BIGGIE !!!
Will be giving bro Ben a call soon ...

Re: offshore with Ah Ben
Nice writeup about your trip with Ben, you guys must have tough luck at a grouper hole tht day huh? It would be interesting to see the heavy setup put to test. Still very decent catch overall, he must be quite a confident boatman to guarantee catches.
Re: offshore with Ah Ben
Wow....i'm fascinated by the baits provided ! The water tanks onboard, wide variety of food for the fishies ! U guys sure do a lot of preparation to hurl those biggies up ~
Fishing is unquestionably a form of madness, but happily, for once bitten, there is no cure. --Francis
