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....
