Catch report 16 Jun 07

After a long break, I finally went down to Bedok Jetty today. At first, it looked set to be a hot sunny day, but then the clouds started to build up, and it was a rainy one instead. The catch was slow too... at where I was, about halfway up the jetty, people were landing tambans at the rate of less than five in an hour.

As I didn't buy any prawns for use as bait, I got down to jigging for tambans, and was quite bored with the slow catch rate. I did manage to catch a whiting on tamban hooks, which I used as bait and floated it out. But I didn't catch anything with that.

While jigging for tambans (caught a total of five), I managed to catch a wolf herring (about 25cm long) and a small little trevally. Someone else caught a baby queenfish on tamban hooks too. Otherwise, no one seemed to have caught anything big in the morning. There was a sea bass floating in the water, it seemed half dead and no one really bothered to try to catch it.
