This trip is mainly colleagues and ex-colleague....

DUN, MIC, KL, FJ, TOD + TOD Sr

KL has forewarned TOD not to bring bananas....

阿宝 in control as we're leaving ONE°15

Father and son team....

One of the big vessels we passed by...

...and our giant 'Surf Board'

VICTORY PETROLEUM

The floating oil service station.....the cause of my motion sickness

on a previous trip.....but this time I'm armed with Sea-Band

This knitted elasticated wrist band operates by
applying pressure on the Nei Kuan acupressure point
on each wrist by means of a plastic stud....

DUN taking a quick nap betweeen spots....

The first fish of the day.....by TOD

.....a Whitecheek Monocle Bream

This Tuskfish was caught on TOD's light setup....

and the fight it has put up was quite thrilling.....

Almost everyone caught a decent size Grouper

...and I'm not sure who caught this one

KL removing the hook from his catch....

MIC (with the coolie hat) and his Grouper.....

The deckhand assisting MIC with his catch.....

....and into the 'DEATH' box

TOD Sr and his catch......finally

阿宝 assembling the fishes for a group shot.....

most of the catch are bigger then a 1500ml mineral water bottle

today's catch....



KL in action...

the haul...

....steamed Garoupa....fresh from the Southern waters

阿宝's boat trip on the 4th September 2012

This trip.......6 pax.......FJ, AN, HN, BRY, KL + GAB

All meet at ONE°15 Marina at 8am armed

with live Flower Crabs and live Prawns....

......Barbies on 阿宝's boat with Sentosa Cove backdrop

ONE°15 Marina is where the rich show off their water toys....

but we're there for Epinephelus itajara......

Shortly after we've reached the Gao Tun spot......

'Boomz'......I'm down with motion sickness.

A view from the air-conditioned cabin.....

where I recited for the rest of the trip

no action at the main spot......

阿宝 brought us to another spot around noon

where all the action begins...

BRY with the first catch.....Grouper

the leftover crabs didn't go to waste either.....

we all had pan grilled Flower Crabs....

GAB with a double hook-up....

 this picture was posted by the boatman on

http://www.fishingkaki.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=226757

another shot of the twin....

 BRY with his prize catch.....Tuskfish weighing over 2kg

 BRY released the fish shortly after believing 阿宝's joke

that the fish is 'retarded'.......the boatman had to dive into

the waters to retrive the Parrot....

BRY's smile behind is just as big as PSY's

강남스타일

HN with her catch........

well, this fish needs no introduction.......this one is

one of the 'NORMAL' fish found in Singapore waters

our catch in the IGLOO

the craft.....

our catch on the deck....

Return of the Jedi

Hooking on National Day.....

Singapore celebrates it's 47th National Day
at The Float @ Marina Bay.....

while we celebrate it on Chongster's boat with 9 hookers.

...special thanks to ED, the creator of this flag

There was a slight delay thanks to the Yeap brothers

....they blame it on their cheap Ikea alarm clock...

Mr Chong made it worst by not fueling up his

boat the day before.....had to stop by this petrol kiosk

Once again ADY holding the first catch of the day

with that number '3' T-shirt..........very fishy

I should have put on my own 三号 T-shirt too

BRY finally broke the 'Zero Fighter' spell with

this Tuskfish......commonly known as Parrotfish

...the 'ZF' baton was passed to the one who

teased him a few days before this trip...

Another star performer is this little one....

ASH with a Fringe-eyed Flathead.....

FJ fiddling with his Red Snapper

AN with an unidentified cutie....

moral booster.....ASH with a Red Snapper

His investment has paid off with this catch....

BRY and his Diamond Trevally...

ADY was heard shouting 'this one normal fish' in the background

....a clear case of 'can't get the grapes say the grapes sour'

 ....the Malays called it Chermin and local

anglers love it as they put up quite a fight

ADY is 'Man of the Match'.....winning the biggest

catch side bet with this Grouper weighing 1.3 kg

CHN posing with her Red Snapper...

 number of catch.......eighteen

...although there's no photographic evidence, DS did

contribute a table size Grouper to the total haul

....this trip's 'Zero Fighter'...s are (drum rolls).....HN & SN

Thanks to Ah For who whip up a feast for us....

reach home in time to watch the parade on TV

...and we manage to catch a glimpse of Mr Lee

that finally debunk a week long of rumours

pertaining his health.......

A clip fo BRY in action....

HN reeling in a BIG one....

ADY and his parrotfish....

ASH and her little Grouper....



Chongster's Boat 29th May 2012

We are back to the waters around Pulau Tekong

....with everyone still trying to beat HN's record catch.

KL, FJ, AN, HN, SN, ADY, BRY

plus 3 junior hookers ALX, DS and ASH

The trip started with a little DRAMA while the boat

was cruising to our first spot....

DS was sitting on the rear deck when he lost

his balance and fall off into the water...

With no hesitation, SN took a dive and save the day.

.....our HERO.

Arrived at the first spot with ASH waiting

for her very first catch.....

....DS's top spread out to dry in the sun

ADY winning the 'First Catch' side bet again!

ASH's very first fish.....a Snapper!

ALX with her first Grouper...

SN with another Snapper....

This small Snapper caught by BRY helped him win a side bet

....a Belanger's Croaker for DN which puts the smile back on his face

 FJ shows off his 'GRAFFITI' bluff Buff

That number 3 really delivers....

so hot that the picture of ADY with his famous '3' t-shirt previously

stuck on the 'wall of fame' months ago was stolen by other anglers...

A view of our catches in Uncle Chong's icebox...

BRY enjoying grandma's fried rice....

 ADY with his winning combo....

How he's able to fish with so little line on his spool is a mystery

now.......ADY is also kown as 'Mr Entangle'

The group shot....

 A clip of HN helping ASH reeling in her catch...

 A Bamboo Shark that was released later...

A fun trip other than some morning drama....

and KL being the sole Zero Fighter....

which he later blame it on some BANANA cake

he consumed for breakfast...

The Revengers.......opening on the 29th May 2012

The Marvelicious Revengers coming soon.........to the waters around Changi

We have.....

Iron Boy

Hawk-I (in shades)

the Black-Married-Woman

Thoor (with the giant candy)

Captain Whampoa

....and if they have an army...

We have the Bulk......

no, not the one in green......the other one

Red Snapper offers at 'DARE TO COMPARE' price...

Easter weekend offers....

Big banner at Giant Hypermart promoting

Red Snappers at S$0.99 per 100 grams

Assuming your average catch is around 1 kilogram

...you'll need to reel in at least 35 pieces of these

in order to cover the cost of a weekday trip on

Chongster's boat plus 2 kilograms of live prawns......

....However, there have been reports of anglers landing

this fish weighing around 40 lbs (approximately 18 kilograms)

....if lady luck is on your side, you just need 2 of these mamas

Bluff Buff...

Bluff 'Buff's finally arrived 10 days

after I've placed an order on Gmart. 

At S$1.90, these multi-purpose headwear from Korea

are much cheaper than the ones selling at Chinatown.

Over 200 designs to choose from....
