This morning's adventure was to Bottletree Park at Sembawang for a spot of sport fishing, i.e. taking fish out of the water for a photo, then putting it back approximately where you found it.
The bait was bread and some powdery brown fish meal, which is supposed to be like 'peh-hoon' for fish, except that its brown. The idea is to make a fish-meal sandwich. Since sandwiches have little structural integrity, I decided to make a fish-meal ball instead.
However, the guy next to me was baiting entire flat slices of bread and flinging them halfway across the pond. I shall call him Sandwich-Man.
Persistence finally paid off for Sandwich-Man.
Meanwhile, sitting, waiting. Waiting. Ask not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.
When suddenly!
A Red-Tail Catfish! =D =D =D
My first Red-Tail Cat. =D
No fishing story would be complete without telling about The-One-That-Got-Away. It was another Red-Tail Cat that I managed to bring to the edge but threw the hook at the last moment. It was THIS big. But no picture no count =(.
Called it a day and gave the leftover fish meal to Sandwich-Man. Hope he caught something with it. =)
