I was awoken by Dave's call and realised that it was already 630am (supposed to catch some bf with him) and I quickly wash face, change and grab my barang barang.
Boon was the earliest bird and we followed. It was super low tide as the 'lake bed' was exposed to the bare! Alex came and followed by Ken and his son.
Now, the real challenge came when we have to overcome 2 downward rocky slopes with our kayak and stuff. It was one of the toughest launch we experienced and I had a slipped at the second slope with a 5cm cut at my shin area. Luckily, it was not bleeding as bad as I thought it would be.
Time to hit the water and try for some MJs and KBLs and off we go...
The lake-like settings with calm waters and the rising sun was darn relaxing for us. After some quiet moments, Boon managed to hook up a nice size 'SG Marlin'.
Then came along Ken and his son and a nice shot of Father&Son bonding.
Boon, Dave and I decided to try at the abandoned kelong near the channel populated with many wake-boarding boats. While crossing, we did not even realised that Dave's line had mysteriously ran out and we guessed that it could have got entangled with one of the crossing boats our crossing (and trolling at the same time).
Lesson learnt and Dave decided to do the 'driving'.
It was darn relaxing at the kelong while we fish and checking out the wake boarding babes...
Just as we wanted to change spot to further out, I felt a tension and Bam!, got a fish. Fight for a while and came came a less than 1kg Ah Seng. Disappointed!
Got my second but it was not as strong as the catfish and pulled up with ease and it was a junior flathead.
We decided to catch the in-coming tide and headed back to the mangroves.
Alex managed to get palm-sized MJ with lure and released.
Exercise cut for me and Dave at 1215pm and it was another challenge for us to move the kayak back to the top...
