a bit disappointed...

actually come to think about it, i'm A LOT disappointed...there was a dire lack of baitfish around in the waters to attract the predatory fish that i was hoping to catch...plus there was too much current for bottom fishing...

de-frickin'-pressing it's a bloody conspiracy, i tell you!



that being said, we made the best of it and had quite a lot of fun hanging out and trying our level best to catch fish...and getting well and truly burnt (at least some of us anyway...*ouch*)... we had our moments...

the biggest fish caught on the trip (by yours truly of course) was a frigate tuna (see pic) topping out at max 1.2kg (not specifically weighed)...and i lost a dorado cos the baitfish i was using was just too damn big for it to swallow...talk about blardy ironic


the place itself is really quite beautiful...with 2 islands opposite one another (about 500m apart) forming a somewhat sheltered channel with very clear water just perfect for snorkelling and diving...the resort itself is quite quaint and picturesque but spartan...fortunately for us, there was aircon!!! *hallelujah*

next round, tanjong pinang, i reckon! there'd better be more (and bigger) fish!
