Look at those outboards!  

"Bye bye!" The Singapore Costal Police are really vigilant with their daily tasks ensuring our waters are safe from pirates and illegal immigrants. Well done guys! 

The coast guards left us alone after ensuring that there wasnt anything 'fishy' on board. LOL  

The rocks in the picture were actually another isle off Pulau Ubin. It is pretty small with no shelthers, freshwater supply and toilets. Hear say tales say that these place is the 'isle of biggies'! 

"Pulau Ubin, here we come!!!" We were getting exciting as we were reaching our destination really soon. 

The fire was ready and our stomachs were hungry. kekeke. 

Our gears at rest. We had surfcasting gears too but our dreams to catch the big 'prata' (stingray) didnt materialize. The water condition just aint right, lots of planktons in the night but no signs of baitfish at all. When we were in the water, we looked like we could 'glow in the dark'. LOL "Dances with planktons". 

These clams were so delicious and sweet by simply cooking them over the flame. It had been ages since I did this. David and Jeremy made perfect camping partners. We actually needed one more guy to share the load so that we could have some good food but it was a Monday night. Most of our friends were tied down by work... "kokliang, wasted lah... if no need to punch card, you could have joined us too." 

This barramundi was caught while netting for baitfish - pasir pasir (whitings), tanbam and mullets. In the end, we caught only 3 mullets. No tanbam. No whitings... but we had this fellow. This fish looked like an escapee from one of those floating fish farm nearby. While David was retrieving the net in the water we saw a silver flash beside our net. With our leds on our forehead as the only light source around, David managed to capture the barramundi by using the external side of the net. When we got back on land to 'relief' the fish we discovered that the fish was caught not in the net but on the outside of it. We didnt catch any other fish later on in the night but we had some good time over the bbq pit eating clams, the barramundi and some nice cold beers. Smooth.... 

Could you hear the sizzling sound? The aroma was so wonderful that the three of us looked at the fish as if we had not eaten for a month. LOL 

"Chiong arrhhhh...." (Charge!!!!) The fish tasted so good and especially when we have only 'loti' (bread in dialect) for dinner, supper and breakfast. This barramundi was 'raped' till bones left.  

Bats! We discovered bats in the area we camped. Not really many of them. I guess not many Singapore's kids really have the chance to see them at rest during the day. Not long after exploring for them, we decided to make our way back to mainland, Singapore for 'Bee Tai Mak Da'. (A dry based rice noodle from hawker center.)

This is the biggest koi that I have ever caught. I didnt weight it on the boga due to its size. The rod is Scott STS 6wt with Ross Evolution 1.5 (slate blue). This fighter actually took line during the battle and fought pretty hard. The reel was singing for a while and that was sweet music to the ears... ;P

David's big kalui, almost 8.5lbs on the boga. The battle last close to 10mins. 

David's koi at midnight.

Today, I am really happy. Really happy! After 2 unsuccessful trips to this place for kaluis, I fianlly hooked up this one. I was so happy that I was laughing away... hahaha. So happy!

I lost my right side of my slippers in this mud hole... 

What a beautiful place for flyfishing!?!?!!! 

One of the bigger peacock bass of the day. I lost count of the total number of fish I caught today after hitting the mark 20. 

"MONSTER ZEBRA!!!"
