Great to see them again

 

Recently I also retired myself from luring due to heavy workload and  betrayed by a close friend, all these make me feel very down after someone you trusted, I also help & motivate him get him out from the dark side and now he had a little acheivement. I never thought he would do such a thing behind my back, when others told me to avoid him because of his character and past but I still back him because I believed everybody should be given a chance. I finally understand the others was right, there is no hate with him but the friendship build up is gone forever. It is not easy for me to cut ties with friends but this painful decision had to be made Lets enjoy the pictures of the recents by my kaki and myself. A pictures speaks a thousandwords, they are still there,

Our Captain Derek went for a Solo hunting at one of our old spot and got this big fellas which is between 11 to 13 pounds, he could not weigh ot as he left his lip grip in his car.

Long lost opponent

Recently my kakis had alot of excitment from Temensis and every week they sent in pictures of nice size Temmy. I could no longer able to control my itch and decided to join them. Although I only  hit a 5 pounders but this fellas was hooked on his body and was able to give a full test on my megabass rod. Here are the pictures.

Disppointed Luconia Trip - Part 2

Is been a week after such a disppointment trip, but I still enjoy the good accompany of the fellow Kakis during the trip. I will still want to come to this place again but not with the captian he is still on Coral Crystal but I must said the deckies & the cook is very good, Jamil the cook keep feeding with nice food and  every meal is yummy yummy. Here are pictures of our catch and will continue to post thw rest of the pictures

Disappointed Luconia Trip

Almost took us a year to prepare for this trip and everyone of us are expecting to battle with some monsters pelagic but was such a disappointment when the biggest fish caught was only 15kg dog tooth tuna and a gaint grouper, 12 kg Amber jack and 11kg GT although target fish was met but the catch rate was also poor which we believed the skipper is trying to be funny, he will stay on if there is no bite but will relocate when fishes start to take jigs or bait and he keep mentioning " locunia got no more fish, Luconia got no more fish" WTF, we paid more than 20 k Sg dollars for the boat and not expectimg this is what he telling us. The other crew members was ok especially the cook Jamil is very good and feed us well with all meals
