26th November 2011 Catch Report

 Venue: shhhhh....

Duration: 23:00 to 01:40

Rigs: paternoster + floating rig

Baits: dead prawns

Who: FJ + AN

We were back at our favourite spot after a week of itch

but there were about 5 groups of anglers around us

.....something very unusual......

one even had a two-man dinghy & a long fishing net.

The night was pretty quiet but AN still manage to

reel in a reasonable size Russell's Snapper...

......the real Ang Zhor Kee

We call it a night with that one catch as

we were still recovering from our recent

holiday trip with our kids........

The sea is calling out for me.......

A family trip to our regular beach resort

from the 22nd to 25th of November 2011,

at the Golden Sands Resort, Penang



The sea fronting Batu Ferringhi kept calling

out to me but I can only imagine a fat Grouper

struggling to throw my size 1/0 hook.....

Didn't bring any gears as I fail to get hold of

a telescopic rod for fuss-free custom clearance.

......and getting a rod bag just for this trip to house

our regular rods seems a bit of a overkill....

the blue skies.....

the sea calling out to me as I was watching

my boy digging for the Dead Man's Chest....

13th November 2011 Catch Report

Venue: East Coast Park (carpark F3)

Duration: 01:30 to 03:10

Rigs: paternoster

Baits: dead prawns + kelong sotongs

Who: FJ, AN, BRY, SN, HN + DS

The water was suppose to be good according the charts.

We started fishing at our usual spot when we were forced

to move due to unforeseen circumstances.

We stopped over a few spots but they're either 'no fishing'

or sinkers eaters........

We ended up at East Coast Park carpark F3.

No bites at all except a hook up from our

up coming junior hooker.......DS, he's very first

........a Crescent Perch a.k.a Ikan Mengkerong

Dream of owning a boat?

Now you can......so long as you're above 3 years old

you can add more hookers too..............

Fish vs. Chicken vs. Cow.....

This is funny......some clown commented
"release the poor bugger" on the pictures
of the fishes I caught posted on FB.

So what makes this clown thinks
that the fishes we caught should be released
to be a 'True Fisherman' vs. the number of
chickens and cows slaughtered to become
buffalo wings and sirloin steak to satisfy
his ******* appetite is OK?

This means that the chickens and cows deserve
to die for your hunger and the fishes
deserve to live for your love of the sport.
tak tally lah brother......

A true 'catch and release' fisherman uses
barbless hooks and hooks should be removed
in the water to avoid damage to fish skin,
scale and slime layers by nets.

So there you are posing with your giant catfishes
bragging about conservation practice and
criticising about my catch.......what the ****?

Here is a response from a fisherman on a 'catch & release' article:

rolsen  on January 17th, 2011

Well, there’s still some people out there,

who eat chicken nuggets and hamburgers, ’cause

they are not real animals but a technological

breakdown – or a road to hell? Sorry being sarcastic,

but it’s about time to wake up. If you eat meat in any form,

you cannot judge guys eating fish. If you’re true vegan,

I understand your point and I do not judge you –

please behave as kindly to us meat eaters, thank you.
