Boarded late in the evening, and slipped off under the cover of darkness for our first destination. This was my first time going out of local port limits to fish, so a bit of a mountain tortoise (or deep sea grouper). Apparently you have to clear customs. What happens is you wait at a particular spot (near the port limits) and the customs boat will come around.
That right there, is the customs boat coming around.
The 3 hour ride to grounds 1 gave us lots of time to lock and load. Behold the weapons racks.
I must say, the company for the next 3D2N was excellent. Here's some of them:
We have Koo, trip organiser and sashimi chef
Alex, part time bartender
Richard, a McDonald's fan and slayer of chermin
and this bro who's name I suddenly forgot, (paiseh!) Penn reels fanatic and all round most heng angler on board!
Supplies are important when going out to sea. Foremost, you must have enough bait.
If you dont have enough bait, you scoop more out from the sea. In this case, baby squids.
And you must have enough beer. Its not just recommended practice, its the law!
I know what you're thinking, the apples are not compulsory of course.
So there we were on the first night at Horsburgh Lighthouse aka Pedra Branca. I've never seen Pedra Branca before except images on tv and print, so I was really psyched to set eyes upon it. Behold! Horsburgh Lighthouse by night!
Well, what did u expect? Here it is by day
Next up: What we came for! =)
