2 hours Fishing at Punggol

Date: 26th July 2008 (Saturday)
Location: Punggol 17th

Fishing at Punggol area has not been promising for me since i moved to Punggol and nothing over a kg has been caught by me. Although in the past, Punggol is a very good place for fishing, the poor catch rate in this area had ceased the interest of many hardcore anglers in doing their fishing here

Since it's a Saturday and the weather looks pretty good, i suggested to my wife to have a 2 hours fishing at Punggol seaside since its pretty near to where we lived and most importantly, to cleared the "not so fresh" bait which i have kept in the fridge for more than 2 week rather than disposing it away.

My gears for the trip

Family outing for many anglers

The result was indeed poor which i had already expected. Despite of the poor result, i still able to see many anglers driving here to do their fishing hoping for some miracle. Seriously, over-fishing has resulted poor catch at Punggol for many years and there's nothing we can do about it. Overall, its a nice cosy place for family outing...who really cares about catching big fish anyway...
