FISHING

Last Saturday, I joined my nephew and a friend for a fishing trip at Karambunai bay. These two fellows are very keen anglers and will go anywhere to try their luck. They picked me up early in the morning for breakfast then headed straight to the Mengkabong Jetty. They had all the fishing gears, cooler box, ice cubes, drinks, food and etc etc in the truck but forgot about the baits. Eventually, we managed to buy some live shrimps from the "kampung" nearby and arriving jetty one hour late. We hired this small boat at Mengkabong Jetty.

I like fishing as it is the best way to relax and enjoy a stress free day. However, it could be boring too if there is no bite or ending up with just the hook and the bait missing. It was a fine day - good sunshine and calm sea.Some of the live shrimps used as baits. It was not cheap though, costing 30 cents each.
The result was amazing - these were what we caught after an hour.
The best catch of the day was this "Garoupa".

We had half a day of fun and on the way back to the jetty, these 2 fellows were already talking about returning to the same spot this coming Saturday.
