I met up with two guys Wilson and Chang Wei at CCK MRT to share a cab down together to meet 3 other guys. And we arrived at Buroh Lane, the place where they kill pigs. I remember watching a documentary with Wong Li Lin about this place. I never knew why her face looked like that the whole show.... until I was there... Whole life whole life whole life.... I never smelt a worse smell than this >.<
This was our boat. 10 pax boat but only 6 of us for more space and comfort.
Getting on the boat, Rambo style.
Quite nice scenery on the way there, took about 30 mins. Saw some nice islands.
And the beeeaaautiful sunset which is my wall paper now :)
So we got our gear ready and started fishing at the first spot. Being a newbie, I was quite lost at what to do, but the guys were so helpful and patient with me, teaching me everything. Jian fei lent me his rod set and helped me set it up too :) Thanks guys you rock.
Then Ah Yam, who was sitting like 2 finger lengths from me kept pulling up fish after fish. His first shark..
Even after we moved spot he caught snappers and all that, BUT I GOT NOTHING. And my damn line was just next to his. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG OMG. So after seeing me pout, he kindly offered to change place with me. As if it was gonna make a difference, but just change anyway :S
I asked the boatman if he was fishing. He said he no sotong and doesn't want to use ours. So if he can catch some, he will fish, otherwise he zzz. So the boatman was in front trying to catch sotong then suddenly..
GAO HE AH! GAO HE AH! Wah he shouted so loud I kenna shocked. Wow biggest grouper I have ever seen fished up!
I think this grouper is a female one. You see the size of the mouth? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Anyway, everyone got hits already. Me? I didn't even have small fish bite my bait. Everytime I pull up to check, my sotong still there looking at me. VERY DETERMINED, first trip cannot go back empty handed. So all the guys went to sleep and only Chang Wei and I were trying our luck. We managed to pull up some nice sized sotongs which were hard to get that night. Lucky people sleeping so we can take the good bait. Then we saw something different attack our pick-up. Cuttlefish...... Chang Wei used it later, but didn't catch anything. Haha. I think Ah Yam's snoring scared everything away, basket.
I want to tell you all one super lame joke from Ah Yam.
"抓大鱼就好
不要抓大鱼的妈妈
You know why?
If not will become
大姨妈"
LAME
As it was my first trip, I didn't know what to expect. I didn't realise that a boat rocking so hard for so many hours would take it's toll on me. Stomach don't feel good, eyes burning, hand aching, smelly and frustrated.
AND THEN SUDDENLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
....still no bite......
kay en en bee see see bee
Soon, it was morning and the guys were waking up. The current was also changing. So as everyone was setting up their rods, I moved to the front of the boat to fish alone, also because my sinker was too small to stand behind.
Emo... Emo... Sleepy.. Still waiting for that tug to send my adrenaline pumping...
Suddenly.....
Poke Poke.. My rod nodded twice in approval for me.. Fish on!
I pumped the line hard cos excited and thought it was a grouper....
Nothing...
Sian, go back to waiting.
But something kept tugging my line a little bit. So I remembered Ah Yam's advice. If got fish bite and you pull but nothing, bring it back down to the same place and wait. Cos the fish are very greedy they will turn around to wallop it all.
BAM!
FISH ON!
100%
I stood up and started pumping and reeling, everyone saw me and kept cheering me lol. I knew it was a small fish but this fella was giving me one hell of a fight.
Finally, I pulled it up and it was a Spanish Snapper. Didn't take a pic of it then cos I was too tired lol. Ah Yam kept saying, "Matt you can go sleep now ahhahaha". So evil.
Throw my line down again... 5mins later...
BAM AGAIN!
FISH ON!
This one no fight, never pull me, but very very heavy. The boatman keep shouting GAO HE! GAO HE! I also thought it was cos grouper no fight one.
But instead, this fella came up......
After I pulled it up, boatman said that's all for today, going home :(
Here was our total catch for the day. Thankfully I managed to contribute right at the last minute and the feeling was awesome.
6 Sharks (One not in pic, we forgot he was lying on the side of the boat).
5 Snappers
1 Grouper
1 Sweetlips
2 Kim Bak Lor
I was thinking, "Ok lar managed to bring 2 home, father won't kp so much say pay money never catch anything". But I was surprised that when distributing, they shared the fishes, so I had more to bring home :P
$75 well spent. Only the rocking of the boat was.. Urgh.. My whole body still rocking until I went to bed.
Here's a cute pic of a parasite that was on the Shark.
Story doesn't end here.
While I was in the shower I heard my maid scream and my mother shouting my name. So I rushed down.
"WHAT HAPPENED?!?!"
I saw a fin cut Shark lying on the chopping board and my maid with her hand under the tap. The damn Shark was still alive!!!!! AND IT TURNED AND BIT HER WITH HIS LAST BIT OF STRENGTH! Poor Reya, small cut only but can you imagine the shock... Haha...
Ok signing off now, I shall wait until all the fishes have been cooked over the next few days and post the pics of that here again! DINNER TIME!
