James Bo@t - 1st September 2017

Angler of the day......BRY with his Golden Trevally

One interesting fact of the golden trevally....the adults
sometimes tend take nibble on the bait as if it was a small
fish on the line. With a successful strike, there's no immediate
awareness and very little resistance from the fish.

Runner up......AO with her Longhead Grunt

Photo of the boat extracted from James Facebook page....

AN vows never to step foot on this boat again....

Sweet and sour stir-fry Golden Trevally...
