Is this what you call PECAH TONG?????

On the next morning, the fish bite rate was very low. Went to two other points and the bite rate was still low. We had to stop fishing at 8.00am.

Did not take a lot of pictures in the trip as everyone was busy. Overnight fishing was fun but quite tiring. I had seasick but managed to get back on track after few hours of sleeping.I won't be thinking of an overnight fishing trip again for the time being.

Bob, the King of Pink Ear Emperors, in this trip. He caught some XL sized emperors.

 

 

 Not forgetting Jepp, the king of sea breams. He also caught some XL sized breams.

 

 

Yazid, the king of Yellow Trevally. He managed to catch more than 10 of them.

 

Ah Kwong, he caught two big sized fish- a Giant Trevally and a Mangrove Jack.

 

The fish onboard.

 

 

 One most important lesson taught by Jepp in this trip- do not eat 'mi hun' on the boat or you will have to pay the price of it.
