Saturday morning, we went Spot Banana.
Reached just before dawn and was surprisingly pleased to see no one there but us.
Water was abnormally clear with patches of bubbles floating on surface. (?)
Adjusted my drag setting and clipped on my Scouter.
First cast into the far distant.
Man, this lure can really fly!
If loaded properly, it can easily outcast Surface Cruisers.
Lure landed on water and I walked it slowly on the surface pausing every now and then.
A huge splash and strong tug.

I pulled my rod and fight lasted for a short while.
Suddenly, it went slack...
Reeled it back and noticed that one of the trebles got bent.
Water pumping out has a greyish tone to it.
That's when we smelled chlorine.
PUB will sometimes pump water loaded with chlorine into it's reservoirs.
No fish will wanna stick around chemical laden water...
After some photo taking, we left...
Went to Mandai to check out a water body.
It's an abandoned quarry in a SAF's training ground.
Trekked in and saw the biggest bamboo tree in Stinkapore:
No sign of wild pandas nearby though...
Found the water body after a long trek and some dead ends.
I walked up the fallen tree and tested the depth.
It was too shallow...
Only slightly less than 2 feet deep at the area around the fallen tree...
We stick around observing for a cigarette's duration during which not a single fish activity was sighted.
Another dead lake...
Mosquitoes are very much alive and active there though...
Went home and showed Ling this:
Oh well... that's life...
Carried on casting and the place seemed abnormally quiet save for a pair of zebra tilapias swimming leisurely near to where I was standing.
No takes at all.
ZH spotted gushing water further up and we realised that PUB had turned on an outlet up ahead.
We walked up to the outlet feeling excited as moving water usually promise good catches and hookup rates.

Something which I picked up on the ground while trekking in.
She doesn't know what it is and seemed not too interested...
Anyway, kept it at a corner in my fishing bag.
Lucky charm?
This seed from a rubber tree brought back some of my childhood memories in Malaysia...
