Night Offshore Fishing with Uncle Soh

9th September 2010 Evening to 10th September 2010

Current : Strong & Rough

Upon reaching our destination at around 6pm, Uncle Soh drove us up to our 1st Spot.
Our catch @ the 1st Spot: - Red Snapper Spot
1) 3 x Red Snappers
2) 2 x Fat Ah Seng

Realising that the Ah Sengs had invaded the spot, we decided to move on the the 2nd Spot.

Our Catch @ the 2nd Spot: - Supposingly to be the Red Snapper spot.
1) 1 x Baby Shark
2) 1 x Eel
3) 1 x Unknown (Looks like Stonefish but Uncle Soh said that it's not poisonous.)
4) 1 x Baby Stingray


Since the Red Snappers are not biting, Uncle Soh decided to bring us to the 3rd spot. Known to be the fishes Playground. However, fishes are not biting as well.

Our Catch @ the 3rd Spot:
1) 1 x Flower Crab
2) 1 x Muddy Crab
3) 2 x Baby Squid
4) 1 x Fat Squid

The night wasn't good at all. Uncle Soh Decided to bring us to the 4th Spot instead. At this 4th Spot, we took a nap and await for the sun to raise. Uncle Soh woke up much earlier than us, roughly about 6am, drop our line and awaits for the bite. However, our 15 pound line was broke a few times when the fishes started to bite. Realising that we have no time to spare, Uncle Soh decided to wake us up and told us to prepare the 50pound line.


Not Long after changing the 50 pound line, Uncle Soh Rod Bents and he strikes; Hand his rod to me and allows me to fight with the fish. Up came our 1st Queenie:


Soon after the 1st Queenie was caught. I felt my bait bitten twice and suddenly, the beauty bite my bait and ran. Immediately i strike, battle for 30mins and up came our 2nd Queenie (est. 10kg) having a small sucker fish sticked to the body.



After retrieving our 2nd Queenie onboard. A bait was replaced on my Salty Fighter and place on the holder while i try to tie more hook. Before i can finish up the hook, my Rod bents and the Reel went 'Zzzzzzzzz.....' Uncle Soh ran towards my rod, took it up and strike. Passed it to our friend (a new fisherman onboard) and allows him to fight.



After the 3rd Queenie was caught. A boat was seen near us and the fishes went quiet. No bite for the next 15mins.
