Captain's First Log

Appointing my first mate was easy, I knew him in 2008 when I was doing my military exercise in a naval base during my reservist. I was trying to catch that giant rabbit fish beneath the harbour which kept teasing me, by using a bent safety pin. Suddenly out of nowhere, a hand appeared and gave me a fishing hook. I knew I found a fishing buddy. He is Tay.


Introducing our first crew member, Kylie, the only female angler on board. Please do not be deceived by the fact that she is a lady and will think that she is a noob. In fact, she is one of the most experienced angler I know. And many times, the luckiest too, including for this trip. She caught the biggest golden snapper.


Sometimes you get to know friends even when you are in a different country. I knew Andrew when I was fishing in Bangkok years back. We had been fishing together since then. With his build, he was my anchor man for the day.


It took me a while before I found out that there is a fishing enthusiast in my company. I poisoned him deeper by bringing him to my fishing trips. Now he is ready to go anytime whenever there is a chance to wet his lines. My reliable fishing buddy, Wei Loon.


Last but not least, introducing my new found fishing friend. He is none other than my chiropractor, Bill. As I said, you get to know fishing buddies anywhere. He helps me to maintain a healthy back to ride the waves.


They were my fishing crew on my maiden trip on 19th May 2013. It was a Sunday.



And this was...
how the legend of Captain Q began...
