Aching arms!!
The title says it all..
After missing out on fishing for quite a few weeks due to work commitments, some super duper last min arrangement between me and Merv was made. We met up at our Tango Point and pumped up our inflatables. A short walk down to the beach and off we went.. Little did I know that the whole trip paddle too and fro would haven been a good 9km in total if we paddle in a straight line.. But I reckon we did a good 12km in total..
If there was a time that I’ve wanted to give up paddling on the way back.. Today would be it.. Even at the end when we were almost reach shore.. I dread the fact that I’ve got to carry the yaks up together with Merv… Ooohh My poor arms!!
I bet Merv would have thought the same!
That been said.. the highlight of the day would be Merv catching a 4-5kg Queenie!! Excellent acrobatic display!! Landed and released for another day… He missed a huge take while trolling on his strike pro deep diver.. Which snapped his 40lb braid as he did not have a shockleader on.. But nonetheless what a rush!!
I believe in the end he had a good haul of aramugum.. a couple of blue hinds of which 2 of them caught by a lure that I’ve given him for Christmas!! All of them released! :cc:
As for myself, I didn’t bring my bag of lures all together and I deeply regret so!!! Luckily, Jimmy from It Great!! Came by and borrowed me 2 lures to play around with!! Off luring I went and within mins.. I had a solid take!! Strike into it and the line was zooming off to my left at a high speed and before I knew it.. It came loose!!! Haiz…
I had another take on the same lure and the same happen. I reckon it was due to the rusty hooks that did not hook up the fish properly. Lesson learnt.. always stock the car with lures for emergency usage! In the end, I had 1 parrot fish and 2 aramugum to end my day.
It was a great experience to paddle such a distance, not to forget witnessing such a cool fight on the kayak.
What a way to spend a Sunny Sunday!!
