What a competition, nothing but MJ & KML. Saw only 01 AK and 01 TWN landed in the whole competition. First prize fish weight only 2.2kg. The only consolation is that the shimano goodie bag is not bad.
Morning was damm boring as there as was no bites at all . Weather was extreme hot. Spot after spot but still no fish. Only by 3 plus, the fishes started to bite. All warriors landed with something. Lets the pictures do the talking. Enjoy.
First Chermin landed by Finn
2nd Chermin (largest) weighing 1.8kg landed by Desmond.
Desmond's fight
Me landed the 3rd Chermin.
Warrior 9001's fight
Me landed a 2kg plus stingray
Tish(Jason) caught another Stingray.
Queenie caught by Desmond but CNR. Hope it stays alive.
Total catches: 2 Stingray, 5 Chermin, 2 ACK and 1 Queenie
Although the catch was not much, but the fun with the Sagai Warriors was tremendous. Will plan for the next trip soon. Cheers.

Need to know the full details on what time meet, what time end, how much per person and how many slots. Will embark at changi terminal ( beside changi hawker centre) at 8am. Normally we will meet & take breakfast first. Boatman will then buy live prawn from the kelong and then we will proceed to the spot. heard that the chermin spot was found. It normally ends at about 5 plus, reach terminal at about 6pm. Each pax is about 50 -70 depending on how many people is on board.
Need new boat rod. Need to go stock up. need to arrange a date to do these Prepare about 5 sets of hooks meaning leader is about 2 metres with hook size 3 -4. weight range from 4-12 depending on the current. Last trip we used size 4 weight only as current not strong.
Anglers are worried and fed-up over the "Boh Fish" Pasir Ris pro pond not interested in doing business. They claim when fishing, they didnt see any fishes released from the net. When asked, staff claimed "released already" with "god knows when" did they really release.
2nd worried over "loh jiak loh jiak" Pasir Ris Event pond (catch and Release) which is next to Pro pond has increased their charges from $50 for 3 hrs to $60, this new change includes keeping landed fishes 2kg and below. This extra $10 could start a island wide increment of pay pond's price.
Charges for Salt water pay pond are $50 for 3 hr (most salt water pond) $50 for 5 hr (ah tiong's pond) $35 for 6 hrs? (Pasir ris Main pond) All can bring fishes back home $60 for 3 hr (Pasir ris Event Pond, must released back above 2kg fish)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dry Ice: how to use it to keep your catch fresher. We fishos typically use iceboxes to store our catches. But by the time we get home, all our fishes had turned pale from being soaked in water because the ice had melted.
Don't you wish there's a better way to keep your fishes cold and yet dry ? Yes, there is, and dry ice is probably your obvious choice. However, a lot of fishos are not sure of how they should make use of dry ice properly.
They probably think they can just plonk their fishes into an icebox filled with dry ice, and they would all be nicely frozen. Wrong. Heard of "freezer burns" ? That's what will happen to your prized catches. When defrosted, the fishes will turn soggy and tasteless. So the 1st lesson to remember is: never super-freeze your fishes by direct contact with dry ice.
The effective cold area of dry ice is about 3 cm only. If I put a can of beer on dry ice, it will freeze solid. But put a beer 5cm away, it will remain nice and warm ! Lesson 2: the cooling distance of dry ice is VERY LIMITED.
Dry ice property is such that it will super-freeze anything it touches. Anything else not in direct contact, it has practically no effect on them. There is no in-between temperature range.
Well, how about putting a few layers of newspaper between the dry ice and the fishes ? No direct contact, so no chance of freezer burns, right ? Right. But your fishes will all be warm and rotten by the time you take them home. Newspaper is a heat insulator. No heat transfer = no cooling effect.
"Oh wait a minute!" one of you might say. "According to my long-ago school day physics theory on Conservation of Energy , as long as we keep the icebox air tight, the fishes will eventually get chilled as the heat energy from the fish will flow to the dry ice although there is no contact between them."
Yes, true. But for that to work, the icebox has to be a perfect hermetically-sealed chamber, where there is no heat gain from outside source.
A normal icebox is not air tight, nor is its thermal insulation efficient. Heat from the outside will leak in. That's why an icebox packed full with fish and ice chips will still eventually end up being soaked in cold water. Outside heat had leaked in.
It is a good practice to put a layer of newspaper to cover the top of your ice before you close the box lid down. It helps to seal off outside heat from entering.
So, how should you make use of dry ice to keep your catches fresh ?
This is how I'd done it.
1) Put plenty of dry ice at bottom of icebox. 2) Put a thick layer of ice cubes/ice chips to cover dry ice. 3) Put in layer of fishes. 4) Put in thin layer of ice cubes/ ice chips. 5) Repeat 3) and 4) until icebox is full. 6) Put a layer of newspaper on top. It helps to seal off heat from outside that leaks in thru the lid. 7) Close the lid.
This is what happens inside the icebox. 1) Ice melts slowly, water trickles downwards. 2) Water contacts dry ice, freezes immly. 3) No water puddle, no soggy fishes. Temperature always below 0 degree. 4) Fishes not in direct contact with dry ice, so no freezer burns.
This process will remain status quo until the dry ice runs out. What's keeping the fishes fresh is not the dry ice. It's the humble ice cubes. What the dry ice is doing is sarcrifice itself by absorbing heat from water and evaporates away as CO2 gas. improved method: - newspaper - ice cubes - fish - ice cubes - fish - ice cubes - newspaper - dry ice ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

DATE/TIME: 151108 POND/SEA: FW1 No 11 RODS: 1 No.Fishes: 9Start at 230pm and lucky to have 2X release of fish. Got 3 Gp within 5 mins and misses many. Lost one big ACK as i saw the hook was near to the lip, when almost coming up that time, the worst happen and my hook flew upwards, believe that the lip should have torn apart. Gave one TWN to 2 china man as they got 1 gp for the whole of 3 hrs. Overall feel shiok as there are alot of GPs playing with your bait.
DATE/TIME: 12 Nov 08 POND/SEA: FW3 CnR pond RODS: 1 Exori Carbon 5 ft No.Fishes: 6? cannot remember busy fighting. Link : Here
I didnt had a good time yesterday at FW3, all small fish and went home half way passing the ticket to finn, later he and his friend keep hitting the big ones!! Not very satify on hearing those, I called finn at 7.45 am in the morning to dig him back to the battlefield .......
Not much big fishies in the first hr....... further more, someone landed a mekong on the opposit, but very soon finn started hitting on a some bigger ones, after that, the biggies keep coming in. The second big one was an approx 10kg seabass, I strike it when there is a hard vibration, something enormous shoot out of the water once.... OMG Super big Seabass, srtike again making sure of a "hook on" Shoot out of the water once more...... my small reel and 10lb fire line keep going "zz.zzzzzz.zzzzz" and my itchy finger pressed on the reel and "piak" bye bye.... I swear to land this bugger next time.....
Mekong opposit..... good fighting by the blue shirt guy, his also using light tackle setup...
Small fishie....
3kg Small Pink Fishie....
1kg small fishie.....
Cant weight this but aprox. 3kg......
Finn fought this Red Tail Catfish and passed me half way... about 4kg. Nice fight.

No one dared to land my catfish to weight it... Maybe 2-3kg
7kg SeaBass..... Nice fight, went under planks, assistance hand to use a broom to push the line out.
