Our Separate Ways

Few things happened over last weekend, so The Sunday Fishing Team’s trip was cancelled. But that didn’t mean we stayed at home watching television. We still went out to fish but not as a team.

SATURDAY 23rd June

Sepul and I went to Sg Pandan to hunt for sebarau. But no luck. The water was murky. 4 hours without a catch was enough. At 4pm that day, Babyface called. He was a few kilometers ahead of us at Kuantan Silver Barra Fish pond. The owner of that pond decided to fill it up with Silver Barra. The previous owner died in a road accident a couple of months before. Back then, the pond was full of Patin.

Sepul and I packed our gears and headed to the Pond. Our objective was to share the glory moment if he manages to land any silver barra. We were tired and wanted to call the day off. Up until 6pm, babyface caught nothing. So, Sepul and I went back.

At 8pm that nite, BabyFace texted me. He had landed the freaking fish. I walked to the pond ( the pond is less than 100m from my house), and snapped few low quality pictures.. and that arrogant Babyface was smilling like a millionaire.

SUNDAY 24th JUNE

My big bro, Joji, Madie from MFN and I made our way to Cherok Paloh beach near Pekan district. We wanted to take home a bucket of Mangrove Jack. We made a quick pitstop at Tanah Putih settlement to buy live prawns for baits. 10 bucks of prawns, an hour later, we reached Cherok Paloh. It was 10a.m. and we stop at 4pm…
The catch? Ha ha… 4 small size stingrays (ketuka/ tetuka) , Bolos and tetanda… no sign of MJ anywhere.

Sepul’s trip

Along with his father, he went to fish at Kuantan river. Looking for giant prawns. It was a trip in his father 12 footer with Mercury 5hp. A kilo of giant prawns and baungs could be considered lucky because of the bad weather and water condition. Most of my friends who went out fishing that day, reported the same.
