CR - Changi Board Walk 24-May-08

It's been a while since we went fishing. Were saving up money for a big trip next year, so we didn't go to any paid ponds for 2 months already. Hands got damn itchy during that weekend and so decided to fish at Changi Board Walk, which is of course free.

We checked the tide tables, bought 300 grams of dead prawns from the market and set off to Changi. We took our time to set up our gear and spent some time retriving our rod which fell into the sea. Luckily it was floating and some one helped us to hook it up.

My family joined us shortly after we set up all our 4 rods bringing with them curry chicken wings.

With just a few cast, my brother-in-law who is new to fishing caught a kim chew! We were very surprised to see this at Changi, must be some escapee from the farms I suppose.



We caught a few other small assorted fish while waiting for some big fish to take our live fish bait on the bigger setup. Then this bugger showed up.

A stingray of this size looks tasty, I suppose, as the meat should be tender. But I'll prefer to eat that in a hawker center and released this baby to fight another day.







At the end of the day, every family member caught at least one fish each, with my brother-in-law catching two. Since his dinner was already secured with the kim chew, we decided to release that damn ugly fish, hopefully not to fight another day.
