Oh! and i forget to add.. This barra had yellowish fins and tail. Not the dark, greyish ones that are often found in areas where KBL are reared/released. Therefore, i'm quite sure that its a wild barra. Good news for all fisherman on any account. ;D Anybody got a 50tonne sledge hammer? Think i need it badly to get a good night's sleep.. my heart's still broken..  Hope i get a good dream of being swallowed alive by a huge stingray tonight..  |

Hi stingraytan, Without fail, you will bring back some interesting pictures about your fishing trip. I guess it might be a little hard on you with your current score against the barramundis. I urge you not to give up yet as 'blanking' is part and puzzle of fishing. I had a similar experience before but at the end of it, I still enjoy fishing. I still remember, I had more than 30hits a night. First few casts I already hooked up a nice size fish. The run was fantastic and the jump was even more spectacular as it was a 'hook throwing stun' which succeeded. Finally on my 20th hit, I landed a pretty nice barramundi around 2kg mark. The hits just carried on and on throughout the night but these fishes were so hard to hook! My popper even got defaced! At least for the whole night, I experienced lots of hits and misses. The best part was that I did land a fish after much struggling to endure those hits and misses. Dont just give up yet. I bet one day you will fight back like a jedi and make us proud with your barramundi photo. We will be waiting for your big day to come. Meanwhile, I should be back online next week already but not sure if I could even walk without crutches although the cast is dued next week. Wish me luck too.  |

I'm BACK!!! ;D Other than time spent at the pond, not much of a life going on. So when a lure kaki invite me to go "bluewater" luring, i jumped at the chance. 4th March 1am... Still borrowing gear and lures from flyfishing sifu... 4am.. toss and turn, and check time.. cant be late for a 1st outing.. 5am.. aiyah, wake up wifey, grab gear, and head to meeting point.. Reach the spot before sunrise, and the salt water spray works better than a double shot espresso..  Decided to observe how the gang work their lures and cover the area before finally picking one for myself and started to cast..  1st fish landed was a barracuda.. Am thinking to myself, 'swee liao, got schoolie cuda, should be able to at least get 1 fish for myself today'.. after 30 casts... some one landed a giant herring.. Nice! good variety.. must work harder.. after 50 casts.. "Frenzy frenzy!!" and as i look towards the horizon, saw big splashes of queenfish chasing baiting fish, and 3 poppers, 2 jigs, and 1 minnow all already midair making their way to the middle of the splashes... And being a newbie, i still holding on to my jig... and almost immediately, FISH ON!!  wah... good good shiok shiok ah.. fish released unharmed.  70casts... cannot tahan liao.. arms aching like crazy.. people left right centre getting hits and landing fish.. must learn how to work the jig like they did.. decide to stop for a smoke.. while lighting up, "FISH ON!!" knn...  2nd Todak of the day... somemore also 5lb'er.  total catch of the day, cant really remember, but roughly: 4 queenies 2 todaks 1 cuda 1 giant herring 1 half beak and me?? ZERO!! And to quote Terminator... I'LL BE BACK! the poison is deep.... |
