We arrived around 430pm and after witnessing a couple of strikes, we persuaded ourselves that it was the right place to fish (we don't need much persuading sometimes.. lol).
Half an hour later, we were getting frustrated as there were no action for our rod, though a few anglers around were landing fish. Time to shift to Plan B.
We have noticed, on separate occasions, that even when the other fish are not in a feeding mood, the Golden Pompano would usually be the exception. Also, most of the fish landed by other anglers were pompanos. So without hesitation, we changed from big hook + whole prawn to small hook + 1/3 prawn.
Our glum faces soon had reason to smile when we landed 4 Golden Pompanos and 2 Golden Trevallies in the next 1 hour! I actually had a big take when fish were released at 6pm, but lost it when the fish dashed into the keepnet area and my small hook meant for the pompanos opened... :(
Suddenly, we noticed that 2 anglers opposite were getting big ACKs! But it was around 730pm already and we realised we had ONE prawn left. Undaunted, we decided to try our luck with this last one by walking all the way over the other side to tempt the biggies.
It was to be a rather long wait as the sun had set and the action had slowed down. Even the angler who successfully landed 2 big ACKs just now with his 'live fish+live prawn+fish meat' combo, had to sit back and relax.
Total catch = 6.5kg
Well, 皇天不负苦心人. We managed to get a 3.3kg ACK as our final fish, using that final prawn. Great fight too! :)
