First fishing trip for the new year! Quite a good start for 2014!!
Reached East Coast around 12.30pm, water level was really high, some parts of the pavement were flooded by the incoming tide!
After pitching our base area, we started setting up our gears. Cowboy Fisherman papa went for his usual 2 surf rods but without a third shorter rod this time. Me targeting whitings, sat down to slowly tie my small hooks..
After putting the small pieces of grey prawn on the small hooks, Cast! Sat down and eat my brunch - super yummy seaside chicken rice (I always feel that chicken rice tastes best when fishing)
Fish on!! Nice Whiting! target fish is around, nice! Into ice box, cast! Fish on!! another Whiting!!

Fish on!! Nice Whiting! target fish is around, nice! Into ice box, cast! Fish on!! another Whiting!!
Cowboy Fisherman papa's target fish is still the red sea bream, his favourite fish!
Fish on! Whiting and a Leng Chiam!! Whiting into the ice box, Leng Chiam back into the sea..
Cowboy Fisherman papa has a take on his surf!! Up came a sea bream! Not his favourite but still a good table sized and good eating fish!
"Wow!! Caught so many whitings already?" - Cowboy Fisherman papa
Hahahaha.. Too bad I forget to bring my size 1000 reel with me, the set up this time overkills the fun..
Fish on!! 2 whitings together! Nice!! But this ended the whiting fun.. no more takes on the small hooks after that..
"Fish?" - a malay kaki asked Cowboy Fisherman papa as Cowboy Fisherman papa's surf rod was bending during retrieval..
"No fish, rubbish.." - Cowboy Fisherman exclaimed as there were no bites nor fight when he retrieve the line.
"Wow got grouper!!" - I shouted as I saw the wide mouth of the grouper, with the rest of its body hidden within the rubbish bag..
What a nice surprise for Cowboy Fisherman papa!!

Cowboy Fisherman papa then reeled back a puffer fish.. followed by multiple puffer fish attacks, taking away a number of hooks!
"Ring Ring Ringgg!!!" Cowboy Fisherman papa's surf is bending quite furiously.. Strike! Fish on!!! Should be a good sized fish, peeling some lines out of the size 5000 reel.. A good sized Chao Xi!! 2 good sized Chao Xi in a week by Cowboy Fisherman papa!! awesome!!!
Then it started to rain..
"Ringg Ringg!" a smaller take than the chao xi, up came a smaller sea bream.. Cowboy Fisherman papa is on a roll!!
No more fishes for me after playing with a few juvenile bluegills?
Then the sun came out again..
And then the rain started pouring again..
Cowboy Fisherman papa caught another small sea bream when the rain stopped..
Tiring day.. but really fun!!
