Pushing The Limits...

Bro Isa from the Team Nelayan Incoporated was surfcasting solo for the day.....But, now, he's posing with his awesome catch of a 20kg Shovelnose Ray or Ikan Kemejan...my estimation..

The Kemejan really gave him a fierce tug-of-war face to face confrontation fight for almost 30mins....but he prevailed to the end and won thus landed the beauty safely....


The key ingredients for Bro Isa's success was having a highly inventive mine to create his own innovative rigs coupled with strong empowered will to practice and improved his pendullum casting ability with having a highly determined-patience will to catch monsters...With his achievement, he had made most fishermans especially me and my team proud to be shore-based Surfcasters...



The centre part of the Kemejan was so thick...!!! Bro Isa was using his trusted 13'ft Zziplex M4 with Daiwa Grandwave z30 as his weapons of choice to tamed the monster...











The deliciously home made special Kemejan's curry...Now, I must ask him for the secret recipe.lah..!!...Peh...Piao. Tks fof viewing...

Day De Castin Cp6 - For Queen And Changi

My 12'6ft Penn Inxs2 long range rod was dipping twice...but, before i could have looked...my ears were hearing the loud ratchet alarm sound...!!!...Without, hesitation..i lept out of the hut and ran towards it..without my crocs..too..!! I clearly saw, my 12'6ft Penn inxs-2 long range rod was already into a 'C' position...!!!
The feelings was mutual and likened to my past fishing days.esp..in early 90's, inside the Famous Changi Hyundai reclaimed land...why? Because, now, iam in a squatting posture and am trying very hard to take the rod out from the stand...The pressured pulling power of the fish had jammed the rod ...My Daiwa sealine x 30sha was still screaming out loud non stop in pain..!!!
I mananged to release the rod and gave a solid strike...But, even with an already tightened drag...my 20lb Sufix Synergy line was peeling out and more than half of it was dissapearing...fast...!!!

A Grand Gathering...

Bro Rizan of the Singapore Sea Brothers have my grandest salute of respect for a real hardcore..fisherman. He breathes and lives for the love and passion for fishing....
Me, with, bro Salleh from Distance Surfcasting Group...He's a surfcasting specialist and a seasoned fisherman.....Just to be able to watch him cast ...the right moments...swaying....the rod...tug n pull in...either in pendullum or on the ground styles.. loading the rod at the right time was a very big learning experience for me...

Bro Isa of the Team Nelayan Inc, was always learning new tactics or improvise rigs into the art of surfcasting...A humble and a season hardcore fisherman too. Looking at his rigs was an eye opener for me...


Our fishing experiences, ghost-stories and some fishing politics were the topics throughout the night..By 5am, we called it a day, but nevertheless, we were in high bonding spirits ...

Life Still A Beach Pt 2

We mananged to surfcast today after a long layoff to surfcasting. N, upon reaching there, my sis, Alia, shows off her unique talent for anime drawing.




















The weather was fine today but the tides were unfavourable to us....We were endlessly practising casting to improved ourselves..




















































































Upon retrieving my line to check bait, a very tiny Angel fish was stuck to the hook..







Luckily for the fella, the hook was pierced through the top of his body..I released it carefully...and back to the water...












































































Alia, ready to hunt for smallies...
