Singing pore with PB’s

Singing pore with PB’s well not really, this was my first real over seas fishing adventure.

Got into Singapore airport at 11.30pm and decided to sleep at the airport. Tomorrow afternoon I would be meeting the other guys for our trip to Rompin to mix it with Sails on fly. Well to say I got sleep at the airport would be an understatement. The pic on the advertisement inside the airport was misleading. A pic of what looked like a small room with a bed made up with a blanket, sheets and pillow was a lie. After paying to sleep (by the hr of course) I was taken to the room. A communal room with about 50 beds and people coming and going, people snoring and others were talking.

ARRRRRRRRRRR.

By 5am I had had enough, not sleep LOL. Red bulls are a wonderful thing

First impressions of the impoundment was WOW, got the camera out to get some pics and the lens fogged up straight away. It must have been 30deg and about 99% humidity the poor camera didn’t know what hit it. After about 15min the thing was able to take pic’s again.
In a hundred meter stretch I must have seen 10 No Fishing signs and there must have been 30 odd people fishing. Anglers out number the signs so it must be ok. Fished until midday and would have caught over 20 Peacock Bass. These are one of the best looking fish going around. The big black dot on the tail is the biggest stand out. They use it to confuse others as it looks like another eye. The 4wt was just the trick for these guys; they hit hard and put in a good account for themselves. Unsure what they taste like but the locals were keeping all the fish they caught and laughed at me each time I let one go.
