Starting Of My Fishing Adventures...



That's me, with the background picture of the one and only old straight road in Tuas Reclaimed land..We had to walk for at least one hour from the bus-stop to the reclaimed land spot..Iam constantly goin to my dad's fishing spots or recce and surveying new fishing spots. It's also like an adventure to me....
My Amy Man..my uncle Mr Osman...He's one of the few fisherman who can hold his Daiwa fishing rods for a bite for the whole day..He can also tie his fishing rig in the dark. He's also an expert worm catcher and always a happy go lucky kind of person..


My fishing buddy Ali..He's the most luckiest person iv'e ever known. An estimate 8kg onwards Emperor fish was caught by him while we were fishing at Reclaimed Land Coralium in Sentosa...Before that, i was using my trusted Silstar 12ft and always mananged like 2-3kg size fishes like the Stingray, Red snapper, Grunter and the common Ungah or Golden Snapper....Picture taken while fishing in Tuas reclaimed land...

Our picture of sleppy overnite faces but with satisfaction feeling...We were fishing at the just newly reclaimed left hand side entrance to the Naval base of the Changi Coast road. And, at that time, there were no land being reclaimed yet thus no stright road, the big drain, Obayashi, Saf Yatch club and no Naval Base yet. On the foremost left hand side, we saw reclaimation works and it will be the starting reclaimation of the Pulau Tambak Korea...   

We were so excited with our catches till we forgot to take the fish picture on the spot. The 1.5kg Catfish or Ikan Jiahan pulled my fishing rod to the ground.
