Location: East Coast
Time: 11am-3pm
Bait: Grey Prawns and leftover frozen prawns from yesterday
With lots of leftover bait, Cowboy Fisherman papa decided to go fishing again this morning. Planned to leave house at 8am but the both of us overslept hahaha..
Reached East Coast around 11am.. cool and cloudy weather, lots of low flying birds, not a good sign for fishermen but we were lucky the rain didn't fall where we fish today..
Current was very strong, lots of nibbles on the whole grey prawns.. unable to secure a hook up. Changed smaller hooks..
Cowboy Fisherman papa had a take on his surf, Fish On! up came a puffer fish hahaha.. seems like the puffers followed him from Labrador Park to East Coast! At the same time, a Malay uncle fishing beside us caught the catfish!
Cowboy Fisherman papa seeing the scat, commented there might be sweetlips too.. quickly set up his shorter spinning set with the float and small hook set up.. Float down, Strike!! Fish On!!! Up came a Sweet Lips!! I always wonder why Cowboy Fisherman papa is able catch whatever fish he says he is going to target..
Float down! Strike!! Fish On!! Nice sized fish, put up a bit of a fight.. up came a bigger Scat for me.. asked if a younger pair of Malay kakis beside us if they wanted the fish, they didn't want the Scat so.. released..
Cowboy Fisherman papa then caught a finger marked bream.. followed by an eel on his surf.. poor eel nearly strangled itself to death, lucky Cowboy Fisherman papa managed to free the poor eel quickly by cutting loose all the lines..
The tide has gone and the water level is really low.. removed my float and caught a small crab.. time to pack up and head home..
