Coincidentally, Star Wars Day fell on a Saturday. And to all Star Wars fans out there...
'May the Fourth be with you!!!'
OK, with that out of the way, it's time for another brief fishing update on my regular Saturday trip. Kings and Bryan came along for some hardcore fishing action, and got more than what we bargained for. First, we headed to the Semakau Jigging Zone and landed some nice fish on Rubberband Jig as well as Metal Jigs. Bryan opened the day with a beautiful Coral Trout and he was contented for the rest of the trip.

| Great start to the day! |
Kings and I had some catching up to do, but we all got bullied by the fish, probably a school of Tengirri swam by as all our jigs got bitten off. Finally, we landed some decent Trevally around a 10m deep reef.

| This Sagai greedily swallowed the whole Rubberband Jig |
Then Kings got in on the action and started landing more fish, and decided to use some of our catch as bait, including a live Sagai and some Big Eyes. He landed a nice big Garoupa on live bait.

| Goldspot Trevally at the shallow reef are always welcome |

| Kings, who is always going for something big, lands a 6 kilo Garoupa |
Seeing Kings land his Garoupa, I used a Chocolate Hind as bait accidentally and landed a table sized Garoupa, literally. It was about the size of a coffee table!!!
 |
| Rubberband Jig Strikes AGAIN!! |
I was jigging with my rubberband jig when a small Chocolate Hind probably took the bait. While bringing it in, the fish suddenly got bigger, much bigger, and a big Garoupa was landed. The little Chocolate Hind was still hanging on the little hook, with its scales all roughed up when the bigger Garoupa came to eat it.

| Ended the day with this nice table sized Garoupa for Lynn (a friend who placed an order for a live garoupa) |
Looks like the bad weather lately has brought the bigger fish in. Hoping for another bonanza next Saturday!
