It was quite a while i have not updated my blog due to my work commitment and i'm still in Taiwan doing my Training. Since it was a Typhoon-Fanapi day and i'm not able to travel around Taiwan, i might as well do some updating of my trip which i did 2 months back.
On 4th of July is the day where the many Kayak-fishing Kakis gathered to have some fishing fun and most importantly get to know each other as well as sharing our fishing experience. Since, there is quite a number of Kayak fishing guys attending this trip, our organizer Ian and Melvin decided to have a small competition and also a BBQ after the trip at Pasir Ris Park.

We were told to gather at 6am in the morning at Pasir Ris Park and all of us were pretty punctual and excited for the game. There were more than 10 Kayak turning up for this trip with different type of AE kayak, Ocean Kayak and Tequila getting ready to set off to our fishing ground near Pulau Ubin.
Nice weather for a fishing trip
Heading to our first fishing spot
As I was quite tired with the paddling against the current, I decided to head back just before 3pm in the afternoon. At around 4pm, most of the guys headed back and call it a day. The champion for this trip is Ah boon who had caught 2 seabass (Siakap) and a threadfin salmon and the runner up got a Siakap as well and a red snapper (Ang chor). As for me, I have only caught a catfish and a cuttlefish. Seriously, it was a pretty poor fishing result for me on that day.
Yes, back to the shore

Overall all, it was a fun and good trip with wonderful fishing mates. Besides, after the fishing, we had a BBQ session with all the kakis whom had made this Kayak-fishing gathering session so interested and fun. All the guys really enjoyed and satisfied with the trip and were looking forward for a next round of gathering soon.
A very successful Kayak-Fishing Gathering trip for all
