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.
