Date: 14-02-2015     Time: 20.00      Rod: Murugen Pathfinder 7ft.     Reel: Silstar AT80 Spinning reel.     Line: 30lbs braided with 50lbs mono.     Rig: Short Snood bottom feeder      Bait: Live kambong.

As tonite high tide is early at around 8.30pm, after that the current is slow. So i decided to bring another rod to target the big barramundi below the jetty. Bait fish was very rare this afternoon. I started to jig around 4.30pm but only able to get a few. Among it was a small kambong fish. I decide to use it on a live bait cable car rig.

No taker even until 6.30pm. I decided to switch tactic. I change the position of the rod and also the rig to short snood bottom feeder. My target...the big barramundi below. Using the same live bait, I lower it down the jetty.

Around 8pm, I saw my 7ft rod rattle alittle. I decide to check, well... it turn up this flat head grab my live bait. As no more live bait and the current has die down, I call it a day.

Caught this palm size fingermark snapper last night. It took a whole fresh tamban on a long snood bottom feeder rig.

Date: 09-07-2013      Rod: Penn Slammer 10.6ft.       Reel: Silstar AT80       Line: 30lbs Braided with 50lbs mono leader        Rig: Long snood bottom feeder       Bait: Tamban tip with squid meat.

Ah An caught this diamond travelly using  cut prawn meat on a single hook short snood bottom feeder rig attached to a small spinning tackle set. The fish was so powerful that when it take the bait...it cause the small reel go screaming...luckily the rod was well secured...Else it may end up into the sea. The fish gave a good fight on the small tackle set...it dive deep downward a few time before An manage to surface it.
