2014 October Updates - Onga!!

Bryan was asking for some Golden Snappers for his Birthday and so we went hunting for some.


October was a busy month, but we managed to sneak some fishing in.

4th October. First was a simple trip in the South for some deepwater species, and we landed some snappers, garoupas and parrotfish.

Kings was the champ on October 4th with a huge Blackspot Wrasse (which we often call Parrotfish)
Ren Meng also learnt how to use the madai to land a Spanish Flag Snapper

I landed a rather pale looking Coral Trout, but it still tasted great.

On 11th October, we decided to go for some shallow water reef fish in the South just for some non stop action. Indeed we landed plenty of fish that day. Shallow reefs don't often produce big fish, but the action is usually great anyway. Pig faced Bream, mid sized Parrots, Big eyes and Spanish flag Snappers were the order of the day. A decent Garoupa showed up to surprise us at the end of the day.

On the 18th of October, with the chest freezer full of fish, we had a relaxing trip to our Northern Ubin waters to enjoy our fresh catch at the floating restaurant. Some Barramundis and Garoupas turned up to join us for the meals, haha.

Lay Chin caught this wild Barramundi for lunch.
Yuki, Ding Jia, Lay Chin and Pravin joined me for lunch at the floating restaurant.

25th October. Bryan the birthday boy was wishing for a Golden Snapper present. We landed some. Overall, I made the most out of the Saturdays in October.

Can't get enough of this picture. Always my favourite fish, the Golden Snapper!
