12-13/04 TP - A Promise to A Bro!
Hi All,
Recieved a call from bro zen69 the night prior to the trip, he told me to land the biggies for him since he cannot make the trip due to a minor operation. I told him, No promises but I will try my best!
Set out the TP on the 12/04 with the rest of kakis.
Me and wife, Vincent8235, Allelf n brother, blurfish & wife, wmchua, "Ferrari" and king.
It started to rain as we reached the kelong, so after lunch, we hanged around playing mahjong and waiting for the rain to eased off.
We departed immediately once the rain stopped!
On the way to our first spot, I missed a hookup on troll but thats another story.
Nothing much at our first spot, current was strong, Vincent8235 landed a nice "leng jiam" and that was about all.
No further actions as the current continued to keep up. It was only after dinner when the "fishing" started.
After dinner, there was a a little frenzy as a small school of bulats came along. Once there was a hookup, there were at many a time also plenty of "beehoons".
No wonder people always "eat fish head beehoon"!
These bulats are real strong fighters and will give your setups a good workout.
All of us got at least 1 or 2 of this hard running fish! It was really fun and exciting and to the extend that I did not take any much pictures during this period. There were also some sagais caught amidst the frenzy.
Nothing much after midnite and only a couple of table fares were caught towards day break and we headed back earlier and washup before heading home.
Had a really fun and enjoyable weekend.
The calm before the little frenzy
Ferrari with his "orr kaci", look at his actions, dammed "how lian"
Another incident of a double team, wmchua thought it was a prata but
chey....Anticliamx, it was another bulat!
Her first bulat despite the many trips we went to TP, happy!
Wait until daybreak liao still waiting
Look at her! Fishing still need to be stylo mylo!
Like the camo colour of the handle grip of this rod!
But, hmmmmmmm wonder why my kaki needs a green camo handle grip out at sea?
Tired but still joking!
The nice wake of our boat
Keeping A Promise!
Hi bro zen69,
Nothing really big and notable being caught but as I have said I will try my best,
Below 3 pics is for you!
I cannot carry everything so asked some of the guys to help
Even the ladies are helping out!
We did not land many table fares as well, hope you will get them in your next trip to TP!
Thats why he got one only, keeping more out there for you!
hey bro zen69, Get well soon!
Our overall catches..not too bad for a overnighter, i guess..
Last picture for this fun and enjoyable weekend!
Till my next TP trip...Thanks to all kakis for making this trip!
Cheers!

13 to 15 Mar 08 - TP Offshore Fishing
CR through the eyes of th2x's N73...
Kakis on this trip were th2x & wife(whiskysoda67), zen69, Allelf, Evolution, WRX, Sleeping Beauty, Ferrari, Vincent8235 and king.
A couple of days prior to our trip, it was raining intermittently, morale hit a low as we have to abandon our highly anticipated trip out to Pengibu due to the unforseen weather conditions, we have to make do with a 3D2N trip around TP instead.
Nonetheless, we set out for TP on 13 Mar hoping that the weather will be kind to us when we reach there. From the kelong, the water seems flat enough to set sail even with some wind and rain.
It rained practically the whole of the first day, the water was choppy and rain was falling till after dinner when it finally stop, the fishes caught were some table fares and baitfishes. No notable catches for the first day and night except for 2 snappers, a cobia and a barracuda which was landed by the boatman.
It was only till 2nd day, during day break when a bright red grouper was landed by "king". It was weight in at 4.5kg.The swells were about 1.5m high in the morning and throughout the 2nd day, catches was also mainly table fares with quite a no. of groupers landed by "king". He seems to be the man!
After dinner, the current was strong, I decided to go and get some rest. Woke up at 2am and ready to fish again when "Sleeping Beauty" told someone in the cabin, nothing but "Ah Sengs", i turned around immediately and got another hour of sleep.
Finally crawled out of the cabin around 3am or so and dropped my line. Saw some maggi noodles, deckie was very insistent to give me a bowl, it was as cold as the wind. I just swallowed it to stop the noises from my stomach. Thereafter asked for a ciggy from "Ferrari" who was up all night and we were chatting about the catches. My rod bended before my ciggy was finished and brought up a 5kg cobia.
After which, "zen69" landed a "ang kuey" and "Ferrari" also landed a "ang kuey", it was a mini frenzy, I quickly woke up my wife and Vincent8235 and soon the rest also followed and more lines were dropped. More snappers and "ang kuey" were landed and a whole bunch of grunters were also landed.
As day break, the mini frenzy sort of fizzled out and we were quite reluctant to pack up and go home. The catches were so so to me but the comaradie of my kakis during the windy and choppy trip is something I would remember for a long time.
Till my next trip out to Tanjung Pinang, Cheers! th2x
Hmmmmm......wonder why they are all so shacked before the trip?
Our fishing boat waiting in the rain.
"king" with his beautiful 4.5kg red garouper
"Chef-On-Board" preparing shashimi for the kakis..

As always, some nice pics to remember this trip...

16 Feb 08 - Local Offshore Fishing
Hope to "warm up" for my trip to TP in Mar, so went local offshore fishing again.
It rain, stop, sun, rain, stop, sun.....All we could only managed was this few fishes!
Released a small stingray and a "ah seng"
Hmmm......How come Singapore waters fishing always so bad results!
Should I be giving up totally for local offshore fishing and focus totally on overseas offshore fishing only? I must really ponder on this one!
20 Jan 08 - Local Offshore Fishing
12 pax went on this trip on Ah Jiang's ship!Whole day only managed to get this few fishes.
Even with plenty of baot fishes around, how come only so few fishes were caught? Hmmmm...

3 to 4 Nov 07 to TP yet Again!
Need to tag team with buddy Vincent on this take! But the mainline gave way thereafter! what a waste!
Somehow somehow got onto another trip out to TP again for one last bash before the monsoon sets in.
Just a couple of photos to remember this so so trip, or rather a trip I would want to forget!
The catch was quite pathetic.

6 to 7 Oct 07 to TP Again
Some pics to remember this short trip as well
Managed to get a last minute trip out to TP again on one of Elly's Boat.
Hmmm...just realised that last year on the same date, wife and me embarked on a 3D2N fishing trip to TP. It was our wedding anniversary. Somehow, this year, we are going for it again.
It is just that this year, its only for a 2D1N trip.
Hope to post a good CR when i return from the trip.
