Today, I finally get to fish after exactly a month. Oh well, nothing big but to me, it is so exciting and fun. Missed a queenie though but hooked up 7 groupies... Enjoy the pics. I am using a Scotts STS 6wt, Flylogic reel, Rio bonefish powerflex core WF floating line and a white clouser. Weather is cloudy and very hot. I decided to end early after about 2.5hrs of fishing so that I can fish in the next few days before I am burnt to the core. Stay tuned! I hope I will come back with more reports! ;D Heehee... first one to post salt water reports... Number one. Number two. Number three. The left one is over exposed, naturally. I didnt know about it till I got back home. Number four. Number five. Number six. Number seven.

Hey, You are most welcome. I must not let this server be neglected and space go to waste. Your effort is clearly seen in creating this forum, as a fellow flyfisherman and a member of this forum, it is my duty to keep the forum active and alive with catch reports. ;D My effort is still considered very small. If all other fishos here contribute theirs, this forum will be sunny everyday even when raindrops are falling at the doorsteps. In order to have more catch reports, it is very important to share correct details and information for responsible fishso here. So that every responsible ones here will have a good time too, and also providing great photos for everyone to enjoy. Hopefully, I will be coming up with more reports soon. I really dont have much time left before I get slaughtered on the surgery theatre again. As I mentioned, stay tuned!

nick, jeremy! you guys see that? white is the new orange man... nice meeting you there edward... was wondering how come you suddenly left... now i know... so you can fish more on other days beautiful fish... beautiful pictures keep it up ;D Hey Matt, We sure didnt know that we would meet each other there and it is really a pleasant surprise. At first, I thought my uncle who just arrived might want to fish too but he wasnt in the mood as my little cousin (his son), is having a virus fever. Thus, we decided to leave instead. Anyway, I think I had enough fun already and the sun block was wearing out too. I should take care of myself otherwise, I might get bedridden from the intense afternoon sun... (abit exaggerated, ;P) Hope to fish with you, Nick and Jeremy again.

Hi Matt, There are many fly reels out in the market that enables you to do what I did today. Still, the performance of the drag is not affected at all as it has a sealed drag which held the salt water at bay. The one that I am using belongs to the FL Optimum series , midnight blue (FLO 456). It is handcarried by a good friend from Texas to Singapore with a 'knockout' price tag too. The one that I am using, if not mistaken, belongs to the prototypes. I would highly recommend this product. The only thing I could think it is a vice to me in this reel it is its wt. Although it is heavier as compared to some superlite reels, it can definitely take more bashing and rough handling too. In the USA, some anglers refer them as budget Abel. www.flylogic.com/ftdetail.cfm?tale=tale30Another brand that you will never go wrong is Tibor & Billy Pates. Currently, I am waiting to get my hands on a Tibor Light Back Country Wide CLTM. These light series are more affordable but still, it is a almost-cannot-go-wrong reel too as compared to their bigger brothers. The best property about this Tibor Light is its ConstaLube I guess. www.tiborreel.com/springcl.htmlwww.tiborreel.com/tiblsiz.htmlThere are still many alternatives out there, but Tibor Light caught my heart. I just feel like a kid waiting for Santa Claus to drop one into my socks while I peep underneath my blanket... Santa Claus... he's not coming... So, I am buying it then. It is only after I recover from my next op, then you will see me using it. Meanwhile, it is still waiting for me to swipe my credit card... hahaha ;D I still cant decide which color I want yet lah... So many so nice, choose which one??? www.tiborreel.com/finish.html#I am on a cross road now...
