Spot Banana

ZH brought me to a new spot this morning.
Heard about this spot long ago while Derek went there last week.
Shall christen this spot: Banana.

It's a long walk there across different kinds of terrain.
A place where it's impossible to discover without anyone leading the way.

While on the way there, I'm really amazed that how can anyone actually find the way to this spot in the very first place??

ZH right in front

Secluded enough to dump a corpse

A tranquil place...

ZH caught 4 temensis. Or is it 5?
I caught 1, lost a few due to poorly set hooks.

It's been sooooo long since I last caught a temensis.
Been always giant snakeheads lately...

This is my catch:

Nice web!

After awhile, the action stopped.

We decided to head to Mandai.
Heard that the water outlet had been turned on recently.

Whenever the water is 'turned on' there, it will attract large amount of fishes.
Reason being, moving water will supply plenty of oxygen and baitfishes for food.

Anyway, reached and saw many anglers already there:

We fished for awhile getting many hookups.

A short while later, we stopped.
Why stop when hookups are good?

Simple.

That spot is extremely risky.
PUB goes there multiple times everyday to catch anglers fishing illegally.

ZH and I kept our rods and started chatting there.

True enough, a PUB lorry came and booked all anglers there:

We watched the show, mocking at those anglers' ignorance.

Kids...

I've already got fined twice by PUB.

One more time and it will be a court case for me.

Sport fishing is like a crime in Singapore.

Can only fish at legal spots assigned by PUB and only artificial lures are allowed.

Problem is, legal spots are all dead.

Destroyed by baiters.

Even if alive, will be crowded with baiters who often get away with using live baits.

These baiters will bring home their catch, no matter how small or palatable it is.

Worst thing is, I don't see PUB as proactive in booking these baiters using live bait.

They rather book lurers who practice catch and release.

And did I mentioned their attitude sucks too?

Bastards......
