12 hours on a boat, didn't sound too bad in all honest truth!
Only thing is
I didn't catch ANYTHING, other then a battle with a LARGE
snag 20 meters below with the sea bed.
But I wasn't alone, out of 4 of us, only 1 caught 2 snappers
and his 1st fish, he didn't even know.
We hauled our lines in because the captain was moving the boat.
Did I mention this trip was organised by One degree 15 Marina???
So they hired the boat, we got our own rods, tackles, bait etc.
and we had 2 other old boys who paid for the trip.
Here was the lead up to our Boat trip of sleep deprivation!
3.30pm:Picked live prawns up from some random old shop in West coast Drive,
stuck the bait in to a cooler box with a bubble blower for oxygen!
6.00pm:Packed our stuff back home, dumped it in the car and drove to Vivo.
6.30pm:Bought 4 boxes of SPizza and bags of ice.
7.00pm:Parked at One degree 15 loaded and got on the boat, not forgetting waiting for the 2 old boys who were half an hour late!
8pm-8am:Fished, snagged, fished, told we were going 4 different locations but in reality
we swear the guy drove us in circles back to the same place.
As for Southern Waters, what it really means is, 1-2 kilometers away from
the Singapore Flyer (which was in sight) and in amongst the giant tankers.
Couple of hopeful snags later, I went to sleep at 5am and woke at 6.30ish plus
when i was somewhat freezing. I climbed down to the first level and found no one
else had caught anything else.
Well it was a good talk with a
gazillion cans of beer, coke sprite and redbull
and even some
stingray and jellyfish sightingsthat in actual fact turned out to be a
BIg white Plastic bag and cup!HAHAHahahaAHHAahHAAH.
So a few words,
DON'T FISH in the SOUTHERN WATERS EVER.SERIOUSLY.
1. More tankers then Fish
2.Cheaper to go to Malaysia for 2 days
Ofcourse unless you like being sleep deprived and can talk for 12 hours straight.
Well next trip MALAYSIA here we come next month or so.
For 4 people on a
2 day (all day fishing)/
1 night its something like
900 Ringgit a boat,
180 Ringgit (per person) a night stay in a chalet.Equipment bring it yourself, bait i'm sure they'd provide.
Anyone else go fishing? ANy recommendations?
