Personal Best Bream On SX40

This has been the 3rd consecutive day I've been to Iron Cove's drain. After such a great success on boxing day, I asked Rocky out for a session as it's been sometime since I've fished with him. He came along with his housemate, Leong who has never fished before. We set off from StMike for IC only to be met by a windy bay and choppy water. Thought it would be a crap outing and it certainly was not any good compared to the 2 previous days. I went with the SX40 in 306 and within a few casts later, I got a big take but a so-so fight of a 34cm whiting which was a pb for hardbody lure.

The wind certainly turns off the fishes when I sometimes do register a few pussy hits on the SX. Rocky tried with his SX as well without success. He then went with GULPS and got a bream and even a silver biddy which was his first! He gladly passed the rod which has the biddy to Leong so that he too could experience what fishing was all about. He did try with soft plastics only to be ravaged by the bloody puffers.

We then went for lunch at the nearby Subway along parra road. Bloody black girl behind the counter was like day-dreaming all the time while serving me! I asked for sweet onion chicken terriyaki so obviously must give me sweet onion sauce right? So when she asked what sauce I want I said sweet onion, then suddenly she took a bottle with red colour sauce and it was sweet chilli! Not only that, I wanted just the 6inch sub she gave me the footlong and my voucher was only free for a 6inch and I ended up paying the other 6inch at full price! Fucking hell! All the time you can see her eyeball looking either outside the shop or somehow staring at the fucking ceiling! Customer service my ass! Want to day dream go home and stare at your own fucking ceiling lah!#&%

After the lunch, we continue luring at Hen and Chicken bay. By then, the tide was quite low. There was like a family there fishing with baits and lure as well. I tried using the gulp sandworm only to get it raped in the 1st casts! Damn it! Expensive man! Got sick of getting raped, I switched to my favourite SX again and at my flattie spot, I registered a good hit but failed to hookup. So I stopped the lure and gave it a really long pause and continue with a super duper slow retrieve. The fish took it hardon this time and my reel started screaming. It was a good few runs and up came a long awaited big bream of 35cm. I was really happy to get a good size bream on that SX.

When we were about to call it quits, Leong suddenly had a hookup! He was actually using a half bm and still managed to get a small flattie! Well done man! He's no longer a soft plastic lure virgin! Not bad for a 1st timer somemore.

While we packed up, I realised the ang moh family pack the fishes they caught there! OMG, not only we're concerned about the dioxins in harbour but that place really stinks when it's low tide. I can't imagine why people are so gutsy but it's their choice anyway.
