It's been a while i have not fish in East Coast Park and since it is still school holiday, i decided to bring WeiCheng and WeiQuan to the seaside for some fishing. Since the last fishing trip with WeiCheng, he was hooked by this new hobby and really looking forward for his next trip.

Do i look like a fishing pro?

WeiCheng and the Diamond.....precious Diamond

It's pretty common to land a Diamond Trevally in Singapore water but still, luck is needed to get one. It was pretty quiet on the past 2 hours fishing when suddenly, i got a strong pull on my Shimano Holiday Spin rod and line is peeling off from my Shimano Sienna 4000. The fight with the Diamond was really fantastic as this fish doesn't surrender easily. After a couple of minutes, the fish surface the water and a Diamond trevally was landed.....Victory for me eventually.

After the Diamond, nothing was landed and we call it a day at 1530hr. The weather was too hot to withstand and its better to get home early to prevent getting sun-burned again.
