Fishing at Marina South Pier
At last... a site you can access without an offroad vehicle... Just walk in. I wouldnt recommend you this site because ther a lot of rocks and no fish. I went there for 5 hrs and i only caught one small fish.There are loads of fishermen there but they could not catch anything. I also saw a cast net fisherman. This method supposedly works very well but he didn catch any fish. No picture unfortunately

Fishing in Kallang

Just went inside a Kallang construction site to fish.. actually i did this before that 1.5kg catch, but i posted it late.never mind. I dunno why its such a coincidence, but, as usual, you cannot get in without an offroad vehicle.:). Anyway Its just a deserted area, like a beach, theres sand, rocks all that kind of stuff, but one thing good is that, your hook will NEVER get caught. We used a sabiki fishing rig, which consists of around 6-8 hooks with coloured plastic stuck on them. We used a cut worm for each of them. Their hooks are the smallest in the market, being as small as a staple. But they are REALLY effective. One fishing trip of about 4 hrs could end up with a catch of about 65 smelt fish. What my father's friend tried was different. He used a big hook, and ended up catching a pufferfish. He had to cut the line and throw it back anyway. After that, we went off had dinner and came back again. This time he caught a stingray. Again he threw it back. Even though i did not catch any big fish, I consider worth the time as i ate all the smelt. The whole fish can be eaten.
Tanah Merah Fishing

Haha... you cant get into the fishing site without an offroad vehicle...Its just next to the runway at changi.we took about 45 mins to get inside.(oof, my butt was itchy during the ride). Once we reached there we found some wild dogs there. they didn disturb us though. I tied my leader, used a live prawn, cast the line and let the prawn swim around with a deadly hook embedded in its body. I waited for a while... No bite. I reeled the line in. Suddenly, The rod bent. Shit. The hook got stuck on a stone. The place is full of stones man. I broke the leader and went to tie a new one. I cast out. Same result. No bite, got stuck on stone. I wanted to catch a big fish, probably a grouper or snapper(ang go li) and i was getting frustrated. My father and friend had not caught anything either. I took a risk, tied a Storm Rubber fish lure with rattle chamber and played with it. No bite, but it did not get stuck on any stone. I moved my tackle to the center(the area is shaped like a horseshoe. Haha! got a bite. I pulled, pulled and pulled. I caught the fish in 15minutes. It was a good 1.5 kg. Not bad for a 12 year old.It was a wild snapper!(My profile picture with the lure in the mouth). I could have caught it earlier but i was us ing a 20lb mono filament line and a telescopic rod and i didn want to break it. When I saw the fish swimming near the stones with the lure inside, seemingly like nothing happened, I gave the rod a hefty pull... and up it came. Haha....
