No joy again!

This is getting out of hand.

Spent 3 hours at the jetty today, and still ended up with only two tambans. Maybe it is time to move somewhere else, at least I could catch catfish at the seawall outside the yacht club...

Moon and tide

Moonrise and moonset are important times to know, since when the moon is at its zenith (the highest point in the sky), it is also the best feeding time. This usually coincides with a tide (about an hour before high tide). So I have added the local moonrise/moonset and tide info to my list of links.

No joy

Went to BJT today, and tried to use live tambans... but no hits. Only had a boy who managed to cross his line with mine and ended up spending some time trying to resolve the entangled mess. And it was a slow tamban day for me as well... But Uncle Jepun, the old man who is a regular at the jetty and sells tamban hooks, catches tambans so effortlessly. As they say, "If you have no skill, you blame the rig."

After braving the early morning rain and spending three hours, I caught only four tambans, of which two were used as baits which never landed anything, not even an attempted bite.
