Well for washing up
water was cold, current strong (size 15 still fly kite) most catch rays, others include grouper, sweet lips, teeboon, shark.
fight was good. nice experience. tackle all ok but rod find it too soft, fighting power not there. time too look for stiffer rod. Des and i even for now. the whole night we kena only 2 sotong. and most of the rays (6 - 7 pcs) were caught using the cut up of these 2 sotongs. think of it, quite worth it. mine was caught on tamban, it took and went on to the high way..... chut sua! haha nice trip nice kaki.
