'King' Anand's Day

 All the conditions were right for fishing - tide, weather, current, wind... and Anand shared his high hopes for 'giants' (5kgs) at a new site...

We started at our usual playground and it was a bad start...I was hopefully to find back my lost 3kg KBL and all we got were zeros...

Time to advance to the new site and hopes were indeed high when we found 3 other boats were there. Wait was the game and current were good... Soon, Anand's nephew got a big take and then followed by me... I reeled up a nice size (900g) AC and realized that it was a fouled hook up. The hook used was Anand's nephew and it was a messy char bee hoon of our lines. Who cares as long as we got the fish up.

Anand's time came shortly with a good size kaci aka painted sweetlips. I was surprised that it did not put up a good fight for that size and probably Robin was right that the fish was too much in pain to fight since it was hooked in its gut.

It was Anand's show again and this time was an excellent 1.5kg size Harry Hotlips aka Brown Sweetlips. Ideal for claypot curry fish head.

I guessed the water was a bit cold from the continuous rain on Friday and made the biggies lazy and loss of appetite...

It was a good day for Anand and the rest enjoyed the company and the wind.
