Simple Ubin trip with Ray and Berk

Before flying off to Oz, Ray and I decided to go on a simple lunch-hunting fishing trip around Ubin. We just needed to land a decent fish for lunch at the floating restaurant. We wanted to eat wild-caught live fish (something that you can't always get with money, especially if the fish are not cooperating).

Lau Di Fang Garoupas of this size can put up quite a good fight.


What a challenge! With a late morning start, we headed to Good Feeling, but lost a couple of good bites, then everything went silent. Fortunately just before shifting to another spot, a decent Barramundi showed up, and lunch was settled. Hah!

Lunch at the floating restaurant. Nothing tastes better than the fish we catch ourselves. Yumm.


After a yummy lunch (I have to recommend the long beans with salted egg yolk), we decided to go to Lau Di Fang nearby for some big Garoupas. Sure enough, a big Garoupa came along and I managed to fight him up to the boat after a good struggle.

Today's Barramundi were not big, but they were still fun to catch.


Finally, we decided to end things at Good Feeling again where a few more Barra turned up to entertain us before we headed back. Not a bad day. Targets met. Happy.
