Finally I could test out my 6-man tent which can easily sleep 10 adults.
It took us quite some time to set it up though. After setting up, we took a walk around the island to look for potential spot for fishing.
And in the end, most of our catch was at the jetty itself where we alighted.
The first fish was non other than one of the most popular fish you can find in Singapore - Todak.
Some of us tried our luck at catching bait fish and there were periods of frenzy when we could catch enough for dinner to feed 10 people.
Another usual suspect caught - Garfish.
There were quite a few strong burst off before we managed to land this deep sea bass.
Frankly, I was quite surprised to find this species here. This is a potential good spot but there are simply too many under water structures to properly fight and land a sizable fish from there.
Not long after, we caught this fish from the snapper family which I cannot identify the name.
As the sun set, the bites were getting less, we decided to move on to preparing our dinner with our catch - one of the most look forward part of the day.
Preparing the cooking utensils such as stove and wok to deep fry the fish.
We also used some of our multiple purpose baits like prawns and squids to cook instant noodles for supper.
The night fishing was not productive. The jetty spot became a quiet town, so we decided to concentrate our efforts in the early morning. There were mostly small nibbles from fish like this.
But once a while we were rewarded with better edible fish like the silver moonies and rabbit fish.
After our morning actions, we decided to pack up early for the day as there was going to be quite a bit of packing to do. The island is very peaceful and even without the fishing, one can easily find enjoyment in the scenery and the environment.
After bidding farewell to the local inhabitants, the hungry monkeys, we set sail our way back to city life.
I will come back again, and next time it will be on my boat.
