Ocean Lun@r Boat - 20th June 2014

Ocean Lun@r Boat

This boat provides chartering for day and night

local off shore fishing trips mainly in the southern areas

We parked at 28 Penjuru Close, took a 5 minutes walk to

board the boat from this run down jetty....

A view from the stern....

This trip - GAB, KL, KYL, HN, DS, ALX & FJ

GAB with the first catch - Sweetlips

GAB's setup with the no-nonsense Shimano Tekota

Sometimes I wondered if the lips taste sweet....

Only time when everyone shared the same goal...

 ALX couldn't decide to use madai or live bait...

KL catching a nap...

GAB scores again with a Snapper

DS was made to pose with the boatman's catch

KYL with his Golden Trevally

Finally.....DS with his Blackspot Tuskfish

 He'll be bored from here on....

Group shot of the harvest....

After they've been put to lay down on the pan....

you just can't tell who is who anymore....

In July 2011, a professional diver photographed a blackspot tuskfish

bashing a clam on a rock to break the shell, apparently using the rock as a tool.
