Priceless moments - Family trip, starring 3 barras 1 garoupa and a guest appearance by Mr Croaker.

We brought the kids out for a short trip to Ubin. Bought 300g of live prawns and headed to Good Feeling. The moment I let a line down and tried to set up a second rod, the rod was bending and we landed a Barramundi.

I caught a nice Barramundi on my new Okuma reel too.

In short, the fish were cooperative. Had several good bites, missed two, but landed 3 Barramundi and 1 Garoupa. Then, after only an hour plus of fishing, we headed to the fish farm for lunch. A delightful lunch it was, with one of our Barra prepared HongKong style and plenty of fresh Mussels.

Here we are just about to leave for lunch. Enough fish for the day. Fun for everyone.

Ubin trip with Uncle Frank, Isaac and Matthew

Uncle Frank, Isaac and Matthew joined me for a comfortable trip to Ubin to target the Three Kings - Barra, Snapper and Garoupa.

After Matt lost a few fish he was unable to handle because of the sheer brute strength of the fish, I lost a nice Barramundi at boatside after I tried to land the fish without the landing net - my mistake.

Caught plenty of small, useless fish until the first of the Three Kings showed up - a nice fat Garoupa (see pic above, with Matthew).

The Golden Snapper arrived shortly after, with the sky starting to turn black. (See pic above, with Isaac.)

Finally, to complete the collection of the Three Kings, a gleaming Barramundi came along. Matt was all smiles about this fish. It was his first wild Barramundi.

Soon, the sky turned black and menacing, and we decided to head back to shore early to avoid the bad weather. What a good choice it was! Shortly after washing the boat at Punggol, it started raining cats and dogs.

Goodbye website hello blog

Sadly, Pacnet is shutting down its webhosting service, so my website and archives have to look for a new home. Looks like Blogger is the next step. I'll be doing the migration these few days.

Wall of Fame- memorable catches and good friends
