A short trip to the Saint John's Island

This has been quite a 'last minute' trip.....

we all gathered at the Marina South Pier

at 9:30pm in full force....

FJ, AN, ALX, HN, DS, BRY, SN + TT, ADY + CHN

The charted boat that cost S$100 each way

for up to 12 pax can be arranged at 65326216

Mai tu liao.....

It's was a 15 minutes boat ride....

We reached the island and quickly set up our gears

along the brightly lit jetty walkway.....

We fished along the beach beside the jetty

There wasn't much action except for

a couple of small fishes and AH SENGs...

you must be asking....why post these two pictures?
I guess most of us are suffering from AHSENGPHOBIA
so we must face our greatest fear
...by staring at these photos for a count of 10...

3 of us took a stroll to the 'causeway' that linked

St John's Island and Lazarus Island to try our luck there

but the current was too strong for any of our setups....

so we head back to fish along the beach beside the jetty

HN had a few encounters with flower crabs...

but they escaped from the apollo rig setup during  wind-up..

So we decided to give this a try...

HN in action........DS having lessons

the result.....

requests started pouring in but

I've only have one pack of 'Spring Basket W/Net'

so the rest decided to do a 'Hillbilly Handfishin'

ADY......the leader of the pack

We've arranged for the boat to pick us up at 2:15am

........since there weren't much action........

Welcome (back) to Singapore

Catch contributions by ALX, AN, DS and HN

Overall, it was not so much about fishing.....

it's more about family bonding and having a good time.

......although SN did mentioned he had strange encounters

but hey, that's not suprising considering the island's past...
