Spot: Changi CP6
Target: Small Game & Big Game
This outing are only meant for rest and relax fishing while chit chatting or studying with the rest of the members as school exams are just around the corner. In order lessened down the checking of bait timing, most of the members were sending in big bait fish to target biggies such as stingrays and etc.
The members met at the normal spot in the afternoon but once rain came and most of us were hiding under the canvas in order to seek shelter as our normal spot shelter was booked by an indian family having barbeque so we have to moved out to the nearest bench.
Once rain stopped and the indian family has returned, off we unload our things back to the shelter. Some played card games, some were studying for exams, some were chit chatting, some were barbequing some of our baits fish, squids and crabs by using the used barbeque coals which were used by the indian family earlier.
As the night was dull and it was a long night for the members, our main joker, Saleh, as usual will be the ice breaker to bright up the dullness till it's time to return home.
Catch was only good by netcasting for baits. At least, in this outing, we still have something to pose around with. Man Kerapu netcasted and managed to bring up 2 belanak (mullet), puput (halfbeak) and a baji-baji (flathead).
Enjoy the pictures.

Decide to have an all out overnight fishing with the rest of the members and Man Kerapu from Eastcorez Surfanglerz.
Reached Changi Village at Gary's to buy baits, food, drinks, light sticks and some other items in order to last the whole night. Reached at 4pm and set up tackles and cast out the first baits. Minutes later, it was raining and we dashed to save our things to the last hut of CP6.
After the rain had stopped, only then Yan and the others arrived. First fish of the night goes to Sazali for his Yu Bodoh (Bamboo Shark). It was not released as Yan had requested for the fish as his brother needs it for some medicinal concoction.
Hours later, Raimi brought up his first fish since joining Singapore Surf Anglerz. A small female sandray of around 400grams. The night was not what we had expected to be as bite rate was very low and the sea was calm. There was not even sea breeze and most of us was feeling humid.
Tua Bak aka Tamban Malam, prawns, crabs was abundant caught in Man netcasting and some are release as it was too small to be used as baits.
The highlight of the outing which was consider a black night for both of the teams goes to Azzahar; myself and Man Kerapu. Man Kerapu handphone which was kept in his pocket had accidentally brought his phone while netcast for baitfish and the phone was damaged instantly. As for me, my 3250 handphone was missing only after i reached home. Tried to called my phone number but found out that some people whe have found the phone have actually switched it off. So i called up Starhub to suspend my phone line as soon as possible. Tried to go down again to Carpark 6 after bathing but it proved to be an unfruitful searches after asking around if any of the uncles have seen it.
A simple CR for others to view. Enjoy...

Called Man Cisco if he would like to follow me fishing at Changi CP7. After buying baits such as squid and wat-wat, set up my rod started to cast out. Man Cisco was sending in big baits in order to target biggies.
As for me, I was targetting on smaller rays as my team have been reeling in a kilo sized rays since the past outings. Smaller rays have sweet meat compared to the bigger version when barbequed with sambal and lime juice poured over it once it cooked.
I was lucky again to reel in blue spotted stingrays for the straight outings since our last few catch reports.
The saddest part of the story, as i was targetting smaller rays, I was shocked that my Surecatch Prokat and cheap Pioneer Apachi spinning 5000 series loaded with a single apollo sized 4 O'Shaugnessy Mustad Saltwater hook baited with wat-wat was stripped non stop till it is left with 1/4 spool to go. It was at full low tide. I decided to thumb the spool in order to slow down the fish but i guess the fish did not swallowed properly and it managed to escape.
At around 11pm, we decided to call it a day. Took pictures of Man's ATC Surfleader rod which he intend to sell away, and not to forget Man taking a picture with the biggest ray caught today with my rod.
It's ok, it's alright. Today the biggies might have bullied me when i was in small game mode, but the next outing, I will return with a vengeance for the biggies.

Today's fishing was only meant for some fun fishing outing with the rest of the members after fishing seriously the whole week at the interval of one day rest and the next day fish.
The sea was very choppy followed by strong wind. Fish was not biting much to what we have expected.
But special catch again by Yan, a flower crab again being hooked up on his hook. The third flower crab in three straight outings! Congratulation bro, you are hereby being known as the Flower Crab surf fishing angler. Hehehe.
Also not to forget the consecutive 4th stingray in three outings. Each ray caught was getting bigger in size in each outing. So i hereby call on the mother and father ray to come and challenged us. We are ready for the challenged.

Birthday boy Saleh turns a year older today. My girlfriend decides to give him a mini barbeque. Brought marinated chicken wings, crabsticks, sausages, egg sandwiches and curry puff for the mini barbeque.
Reach spot at 5pm and started to prepare all necessary things for the mini barbeque. Started fishing and started to hit fish after fish at night.
My younger brother came with his buddy at night and spend a few hours chatting up with the rest of the members before dashed off to Plaza Singapura for a 2am movie.
Special catch of the night was my two blue-spotted stingrays and Yan landing flower crab hooked to its mouth.
Birthday boy wasn't as lucky enough as his rod was sent to Gary's Tackle Shop for a change of four guide ring and was not ready in time due to some problems to the thread binding machine.
