Our dear Nelson hit a 9 pounds Toman with his storm popper lure. He saw some splashes on the water, zero his rod and cast out his storm popper towards it and the popper land directly into the mouth of the fish. With both treble hooking onto each side of the mouth, the fish doesn’t seem to be active and the fight ended shortly. As we continued to work on our lure, I saw a boat some distance away from us and quickly alert Nelson to leave. When this lucky man was retrieve his line another whopper took his lure by surprise but this time round he got no choice has to force himself to get loose of the fish to avoid being caught by the authority. It is a very sad thing to be a Singapore sport fisherman, we have to play hide and seek to prevent being caught by the authority for a healthy sport.
After we had our roti prata breakfast, we move to spot 2 at Mandai and this "fu xing" caught a 5 pounds Temensis and this fish was " tapao" but not for us. We gave it to a 70 years old uncle who is working as a gardener there and asked whether we can give him the fish. From his look We believed that he is still struggle to put his 3 meals on to the table and we felt sorry for him. I feel very down and question myself “Is our society taking care of the elderly citizen?” I don't think this is healthy.
Nelson got another hit by a monster but lost as the hook wasn’t set and after this we decided to called it a day as we have another trip next day with Guru, Edmund and Jasper.
Here is the picture of the two fishes he caught
