offshore with Ah Ben

Post by sgpu »

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.
Image
baits provided. live squid, prawns, and crabs.
Image
the tide wasn't exactly ideal for my pe3 set up. but i managed the biggest onboard yet again :D though only 3lbs.
Image
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
Image

poor him, couldn't take the sea state, luckily he managed this
Image

getting the live crab ready :drool:

Yes !!! This is the CR that I like like like ! :thumbsup:

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 !!! :shocked:

Will be giving bro Ben a call soon ...

Thanks sgpu for sharing this contacts. ;)

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. :D Still very decent catch overall, he must be quite a confident boatman to guarantee catches.
