The very first time Shierly and i brought WeiCheng fishing was many years back whereby i could hardly recall where and when did i brought him to. Anyway, since this week is the school holiday and permission was granted by his parent, it will be a good time to let him learn the art of fishing.
Nowadays, Singapore children have lots of school work to handle and during their free time, they are prone to sit infront of the computer playing their favorite games. Hence, introduce this hobby to them is indeed a good choice as Fishing can cultivate their patience and able to let them release their stress and pressure.
Early in the morning at 7am, i fetched Weicheng at his place and proceeded straight to Changi Village for some Whiting Fishing.
Hoping to catch some fish for WeiCheng
First lesson for WeiCheng is to teach him what are the stuff being used for fishing and also how to setup the gears correctly. Surprisingly, with just one explaination, he can do it pretty well....Wow, no wonder he can do so well in his school work as well.
Hmmm...too simple for me
Second lesson is to teach him how to use the reel and how to cast out correctly. Without much effort, WeiCheng master it very fast and i'm really happy for him that he can cast even better than me when i learned from my Dad at about his age.
WeiCheng very first cast using Pioneer rod and Ryobi reel
Excited WeiCheng with his very first catch.
A Emperor Snapper caught by WeiCheng
The Snapper was released back to sea

A Juvenile Johnson Snapper caught
It was quite strange that not even one small whiting was caught at my usual Whiting spot at Changi. Seeing such poor result, i decided to go East Coast Park to try it out.
No fish, ......Its sand castle time

It seems to be a disappointing trip for me where as WeiCheng on the other hand seems to be enjoying it. Nevertheless, i'll be arranging another Fishing trip for him before School holiday end and i would hope that it will be a better trip than this.
