Tampines Sand Quarry 29 June 08



We actually planed for a trip to Bedok Res at 1600 hrs initially but there was a big dragon boat festival going on and there was too much human activity around.

Seletar Res was the next destination, but a change of plan came about when i suggested checking out the sand quarry.

We stopped by the side of the road to do a quick recce first at about 1645 hrs and found some Thai Workers fishing there. I asked if they had caught anything and they showed me plastic bag with 1 PB and a catfish in it.

I asked if that was all they got the whole day and they showed me about 5-6 P.B and some catfish pierced with a stick over the campfire and it looked like they were in some jungle survival course. Don't understand how they could eat PB's......!!

Anyway it pretty much answered my question....... we had to give this place a go....!

Lady luck was however not on our side.....! Except for one PB chasing my rubber worm. I saw a couple of others in the water as well and sight casted at them hoping they would snap at it. They did take an initial interest at first and chased it a little but then dashed off in the opposite direction.

Notice the weedy banks and submerged trees.... looks like a promising toman fishing ground...! But did not see and typical toman surface ripples nor any hits on the poppers presented.

Oh well guess it was just not our day...!!

Will definitely give this place another go maybe on the quieter side with less human disturbance.

Peacock Bass at Bedok Res with fishing buddy Seet. I was actually trying out a highly recommended rubber worm by Keitech. It was proven in the sea with a hit at almost every cast. Mostly groupas though. Had to try its effectiveness in freshwater and here is the results. Peacock Bass hit on the second cast. 

  

Little vid clip shot by Seet.... and yes rod is bit big cos my smaller one was out of action due to broken rod tip so had to settle with this rod i usually use for queenies.

Queenie Action



Ron getting stuck

We decided to have a little off road fun after the queenie action and look what it got Ron into.

Fortunately the Nissan was saved by the trusty Landrover Defender.
