trip was organised by my bro in law, christopher. been to the river for a few times. my record was a 4.2kg kim ba lor. anway day started out to be nice. water condition was good (green and not brown) as it was not raining the past few days. most of the kims was caught in the morning. weather in the late morning was very hot and we were all casting under the scotching sun. we did not erect the canopy as it will definately hinder our casting.
after lunch, the weather started to turn bad, sound of thunder and skies turing dark did not have any bites. motor of the boat gave trouble too, cooling pump not working well, so we have to travel slowly to prevent over heating of the motor. well travelling slow is still better than a spoilt motor, dun wanna get stranded out at sea... then we were caught under light showers, so everyone put on wet weather attire, erect the canopy. then fishing method change to parking cause cannot cast due to canopy. rain spoilt the water condition, water turn murky so we decided to head back early.
on the way back, we passed by a kelong, and saw people up-ping ang kueys, thus rosman (boatman) fast hand, fast leg, went to the location and join in the feeding frenzy. seriously it was lok chiat lok chiat. ang keuys fed on dead, and tiger gaos on live prawn. put down and strike. we hang around there till the storm was full blown, after that we had no more bites. total catch 6 ang kueys, 5 tiger groupers, 1 small stingray (CNR-ed) at the spot.
weather was quite bad, and with our faulty boat, we cannot make it across the channel fast enough, and it can be dangerous also. therefore we had to hide behind a floating house and wait for the storm to simmer down before we continue our journey. we head back after the storm... armies of mosquitos waited for us at the jetty, due to behind schedule, instead of bathing, we just changed into dry clothes and got the hell out of there. we head to get some DVDs and dinner. about 10+ we head back home.
