Fishing in Singapore with the Singapore Sea Brothers
S.S.B. Site Last Updated 07th of February 2010
This
website is official by its owner copyright. Today we're busily talking
about catches around Singapore which have clamerous through few decades
ago since my granddad till myself about giant sting ray to little
tamban. My name is Rizan and my bro is Imran. We've plan to build this
website due to the many interest of Singaporeans nowadays loves
fishing, almost shores and jetties are full every weekends. So here am
i, typing this. I'm thanking to all great anglers like Ken's Fishing
Haven, Kerry Shore Angler Fishing, Melvin Fishing, Conrad Fishing, etc,
websites which gave great moves for me to start this very little
website of mine! So this website we have name it Singapore Sea Brothers
as both of us fish together once or twice a week to see the results and
catches.
Various
fishing spots in Singapore like Pasir Ris, Punggol, Changi, Tanah
Merah, Tanjong Rhu, Marina South, Labrador Park & off course Bedok
Jetty. Each spot gives a different species of fish like North-East more
with Catfish & Fingermark Snapper, South-East with the Silvery fish
& South-West with the Giant Trevally & Garoupas! So for the
last 10 years, i've been fishing in Changi and catch lots of Catfish,
Fingermark Snapper & Sea Bass aka Kim Bak Lor.
But
now as time goes by im getting interested with the so call Bedok Jetty
due to Silvery fishes and it landed in Good size & worst 74 KG
Monster Brown Ray! Guess any bigger than that and i heard they say the
biggest ray was 114 KG that was caught in the late 80's. But Bedok
Jetty is still the most famous jetties around with its Fame Stingray
record holder. As far as i'm concern, what fishing is all about?
Fishing is one of S'pore most favourite past times as fishing
relaxes your mind thru the nature that have been done! Anyway i'm
greatful to be in Singapore to fish with well known pro anglers. Thanks
for all their contributions to me, especially Lor Kor & other
members of the fisherman's friend.
Bend Rods, Tight Lines, Screaming Reels Forever Guys!
In the Early 80's MONSTEROUS King of the Sea
This humongous Brown Stingray (Himantura gerarrdi) was caught in the early 80's where i was not born yet, it has maintain its reign of title till today. This ray weighs up to a nearly 150 Kilograms! Nice for a table size huehuehue =D! Really a dream come true. Bravo Well Done Pro Legend Fisherman of renowned Bedok Jetty Legends.

2. Song choice: Rihanna singin' from his album the Rated R
All Combatant & Belligerent gathers for the night. Hilda made a surprise visit.
It might sound alarming for some that such a reel have a high price of half a grand.
Mother-sun is out to bake us out. Everyone seems moody as the whole
night was fishless and several hits and misses are unaccounted for.
It's time to pack up gang.
Oh look what we've got here. After i sillily dropped down a big Conger Eel/Malong (Congresox talabonoides)
right after my first cast of the night with my big gun Senator. Thank
God, Man landed this i keep a view at his rod while seeing Ah Peng made
his pendulum cast. Congrats Man on that Giant Blue-Striped Catfish (Hexanematichthys sagor). Wait and what's more surprising! It is Man's first fish on that Zziplex HSM. Bravo!
My favourite drink and the fish. That fish is nearly 2 Kilos.
Careful of the thorns Man.
Finally the group pic starting from left, Mr. Pendulum/Peh Piao/Isa of
TNI, Mr. Man and his Mr Blues, Ah Peng & that naughty SSB boy
lah!!! Peh piao!
Before i end this showdown. We put to test on whose OTG was the farthest!!!
Isa & Rizan + High Swing Style + M4 & Grandwave = Record Distance Casting
Flood!!! Chabot!!!
Retreat our magazines to half a mile below.
To all my faithful viewers. Please don't fish in the afternoon. The mother-sun will burn you down. Its oven-hell out there.
I landed this beauty Blow fish a.k.a. Lattice Blaasop (Takifugu oblongus). I didn't know it had pulled my line in. I'm sorry.
Next. What an coincidental baby Brown Ray (Himantura uarnak) taken on my big game rig. She's hungry huh!
Beware of that sting. That barb had killed one of our beloved Crocodile Hunter, the late Mr. Steve Irwin in late 2006.
Fishing is addictive. I made a return again that night and this time it
pays off a tough price and worth my $2.80 live Prawns that i bought
from the TACKLE Shop.
With a strange less-freaky wide grin. That is a beautiful Andaman Painted Sweetlips (Diagramma pictum) that took on my fresh dead prawn bait.
And that's suicide hook there.
Meeting a legend and a Master in my history of fishing.
With Isa surprising methods. He landed this rare beauty. Its the Malabar/Crimson Red Snapper (Lutjanus erythropterus) or locally called Ang Kuey in Hokkien dialect.
Close up to this rare beauty and his special made rigs approved by all UKSF Casters worldwide.
A very-very common species called Purple-headed Emperor (Lethrinus lentjan). They can be caught easily anywhere around SG waters with smalls and eats up almost anything given to them.
A beauty Juvenile Andaman Painted Sweetlips (Diagramma pictum). The colour on its body will fade as it gets to their mature stage.
A beauty we should preserve and release back unharm.
I had a big pull that shaken and mistaken Ara & Moose for big monster @ my Kampong of Heaven. Well, its a Threespine Toadfish (Batrachomoeus trispinosus). Its one of the leadings most venomus fish in the world that late Steve Irwin encountered.
Local boatmen call it a Kuku fish. This one weighs a kilo as it takes on my fresh Squid bait.
The Freckled Goatfish (Upeneus tragula) or Ikan Biji Nangka. They're sweet eating fish but they have lots of bone.
Off we retreat to Kampong of Heaven and left the Pari's Kingdom due to strong North-West winds.
Finally the wind stops. Was aiming for Swa Chiam but landed this beautiful Deep-bodied Mojarra (Gerres erythrourus). Its quite big and a record for me this new year 2010.
My mom sure does happy with this sweet eating fish i've caught.
Its a palm sized Golden John's Snapper (Lutjanus johnii)
or the Malay call it "Unga" locally. This bugger can grow up to a metre
long in length. Its the feeling of amicable and a great start for the
morning catch thus far. How nice. Gerald you hear me? Peh piao!
As the sun, shines in, more @ noon! I was already saying to myself, its
time to pack up. An agreement of me & Isa to call it a day. Than it
happen again. My Rambo pair up with Shimano Baitrunner 6500 Series had
a big pull. Isa alerted me and saw my rod bend twice and i straight
away run for it. Reach to the point, i grab hold of my rod and give it
a swift good pump in. Off the fish goes and tension was set to
perfection. Reel it in heavily until i have to give in more hard pump
to this stubborn fish! 10 minutes later it surfaces and weak upon
surfacing as it has lost its battle against me. I just wind in the fish
with ease, until then it turn back and heads down to the rocky pilings
but until than its already too late for i gently pump it in hard and
the Master of Coral Kings landed safely ashore. It was 2.8 Kilos,
Duskytail Grouper (Epinephelus bleekeri). WOW solidly peh piao hor Rafik!
The set that destroy this King of Corals.
The Grouper actually has its tail bended in order to fit it in inside
the icy cooler box. Huge fish thus far for this new year 2010. Look @ the amount of Swa Chiam!!! Wow wow weeeee!!!
This time we're back to hunt down the ill-mannered MONSTERS that burst our lines. And it was Isa's turn out to be.
A BIG SIGH!!!
Salleh too had a big pull which drag his rod from nearly entering the sea!!! That was on New Year day. A bless NY2010 to ALL!!!
Waiting for more bullets to be loaded on our big guns.
A Master & a Legend; Abang Salleh is back to the frontline.
Was waiting for baitfish and it turn out to be a strange lookin' Puffer
fish which sooner or later there'll be a secientific name for it.
Beautiful colouration. What's more inside the ocean that we can wonders. Beautiful creation of the Almighty God.
Salleh's sets of classics Multiplier collections.
The earlier badges of this reels. Sweet pendulum casting reels.
A very much respected and it happen to be one of the last known
remainings to ever exist in the world over. This rod have lasted for
the past 30 years and has been maintained to perfection and hauled lots
of record breaking catches thus far.
The beginning hours of 2010 @ 2200HRS i was greeted by a fierce pull.
The bait was an SOS bait as the water was cold that night and i thought
that i never land a thing as there're so many sea caterpillar hook ups.
Until @ the said time above. My rod went down furiously without any
mercy for me to make my wind in as it is a one way train plus the
bugger submarined all the way and ended in line bursting scene after a
20 minutes unstoppable dash through battles. Peh piao!!!
& New Year 2010 stories continues...
Was with Isa until i had to retreat to my Kampong after he brought me
to some unurbanised zone in Singapore where not much people know bout
it.
The family gathers awaiting the leap of 2010 new year.
My Kampong was packed with all eager awaits 2010.
And the clock ticks to 12 midnight and everyones' wishing and cheering Happy New Year...
Think Singapore should make the fireworks shoot high sky next
year...!!! I can barely see it clearly. Neighbouring Indonesia and
Malaysia is although far away but theirs is so high sky and can be
clearly seen.
From the sea front, the ships and vessels starts to horn one another
and we could clearly hear the horn from our shoreline. How strong it
was. Porn porn porn!!!
So romantic...
And they shoot dust of flares to the high sky on a brightly full moon
night that occurs once every 19 years for a new year and it remembers
me to the shock & awe operation in Iraq War 2003.
My new year fish. Harry Hotlips (Plectorhinchus Gibbosus) posing with vintage Abu 10000 that can cast out 100 meters easily with just a simple side cast.
Myself, Isa of TNI, Rafik, Gerald, Hilda, Moose & Ayang of KSG, 2
Legendary & Veterans of Ol' timer Singapore Surf Caster's since
1980's.
Rafik lost to a ball-busting catch off Ara's site @ my
Kampong of Heaven. Nice try Rafik. Hilda next time don't peh piao to be
in the rain all night long and to not get enough rest and sleep, Peh
piao!!! We're bunch of crazy fishermens'. As for Gerald, please go rest and sleep thus dream of me pulling Sam Poh Kong. Cik Moose; your pendulum is awesome. And for the 2 Ol' timer from Hyundai, you're a legend.
Operations Over-Lord kicks off...
It was said in the news that Singapore will be hit by a thunder
storm??? Cut it out. Walla!!! I'm just too tired to type as i've been
fish on friday 5pm till the next day 7pm...!
Now bro Isa's turn to pose with this beauty.
This chap has gone 4 Kilos on the scale. It's the Great Giant Queenfish (Scomberoides lysan) that took the bait from my Kampong.
Compare it with thee big 1.5 litre bottle.
It has taken the hook deep on that fat bait i present to them.
Finally, thank you to my Abang Isa. If is it was not for him noticing
me, i didn't notice that i have a fish at the end of my line as it has
already made 3 acrobatic jumps until my main line goes slacking in.
"Seeing
this video each time will make me laugh & cried so hard
nonetheless. It's amazing to see how human race are equal into one into
locking hole from this video. Don't care for they are Jews, Christians,
Muslims, Buddhism, African-americans & etc." - Rizan Hassan
Recently
i've been youtubing all the time seeing conflicts, civil unrest, ethnic
cleansing, war crimes, wars, crimes against humanity, genocides and
mass atrocities all over the world. I ask myself. Where is the humanity
in us? Where is the mankind in us? Do we respect each and every
individuals human soul? That goes the same to animal brutalities and
skinning animal alive. Where is the respect to our Creator, our
Mother's and Father's? Brother's and Sister's? Aren't we ashame???
Well, this video cheers me up and it maked me laughed and cried when i
see it how joyful and benevolent our life could be. I'm hoping and
pray, to see the world be one like this, regardless of race and
religions. It really brings tears and joys to my eyes seeing how this
video is greatly done. Cheers to our brother Matt Harding for this piece of priceless video made by him. Well done Matt.
No Stingrays, No Shovelnose Sharks, No Cobia, No Snapper and even bait fishes tonight. I wonder why. Tide was 3.2 meters easy.
Oops hold on for a second!!! What's that i reel up???
Let us take a closer look in the following pics below.
Thank God i have bright head lights. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a snake. A Coral Snake??? If my head lights aren't working, i would just have thought that, it could be some kinda sea eel.
A very much close-up just for my faithful viewers. It was a Blue-lipped Sea Krait (Laticauda laticaudata).
I swear my hand was shaking and trembling when i took this super close
shot to one of the world's top 10's most venomous snakes the world
over. I was so nervous and i freaked out.
Gosh, how can i handle such things.
It kept changing its coloration just like Chameleon.
No worries. No harm was done to this frightful creature. As soon as i
untangle the lines and hooks. Couple of snapshots. And off she go. Free
and easy.
God's creation. A glimpse of a breath-taking moment in the morning
scene at my Kampong. Breathe in breathe out. The freshest sea breeze
that you can get from East Coast. I thrilly enjoyed my morning there.
My best buddy and a working colleague with his champ catch. Black Eeltail Catfish (Plotosus canius). Right after Stingray, this fish goes second on the list of my favourite fish. Congrats there Irsyad.
Beware of that 3 sharp venomous thorns.
A beautiful edibly Catfish. Now, their specimen's are rare in Singapore. Which is quite sad as compare for the last 10 years.
My first Bartail Flathead (Platycephalus indicus) caught for this year 2009 on light set.
Largetooth Flounder/Bastard Halibut/Sole (Pseudorhombus arsius)
a.k.a. Ikan Sebelah or Sisa Nabi. Also firstly caught for this year
2009. It has taken deep in and died after free-ing the hooks from its
gills.
Isa too caught a big one on a Surf set. Well done bro. I guess we've bump into the "Sole's Paradise" rather than what we're looking for the great Stingrays.
In the name of God the most Gracious the most Merciful
Dear viewers of my beloved fans out there Brothers & Sisters one
another. My Kampong where i have fished for 11 years has been an open
eye and a wake-up call for me and bro Isa. Witnessing heavy rains from
friday evening and it continues towards the wee hours of the morning
and then again continues the next following day; Saturday evening.
The fateful day happens on a saturday morning where a guy was aiming
for a good decent fish tagging with live prawns has become a regular
there after what's been known to be fishing there a couple of months
and having good hook up. Then came the rain that evening. From east to
west the rain clouds have covered and all that's left are unseen by our
naked eyes. During that heavy downpour, lightning starts to flash our
skies and than our grounds. Boomz...! Shingz...!
We all parted
together and pray for our safety and that we're protected and
well-being from God's greatest lightning's that are splashing through
east coast every 10 seconds. God is most Great. Than the real thing and
unseen happened. One of the rods' that was standing hold at the jetty
was struck by a fierce lightning. It went white with the surroundings
around us as if we're in the second world and next is we saw a great
ball of fire rolling down fom the sky and hit its target; the rod. The
entire vicinity was stunned and felt the tremble on the soil's hard
ground as though there's a little tremors occurs. Than finally the
sound of the fierce thunderstorm ever recorded by our sense of hearning
that we nearly burst our ear drum. God is most Great. We're safe under
the hut. After that freak incident. Me and Isa bravely looks at the
damage the lightning has done. We were surprise to see that the
chemically concrete built jetty was punch through and the lightning has
form a big hole to where the guy placed his rod.
After seeing
that. Myself and Isa breath a sigh of relief and i ask myself for
forgiveness and pray towards God even more. The lightning has made the
rod, reel and the stand just vanish into the thin air. I was wondering
that lightning will always strike the highest point but it didn't
strike mine. Mine was 16 feet and Isa's was 14 feet and that unknown
Malay guy the victim was 14 feet.
To the extend of my belief;
Islam. God send his
lightning's/hurricanes/tsunamis/tremors/typhoons/fires/pandemics/diseases/sicknesses
as a tough warning to mankind as they are negligence and often forget
of his own creator. God have send us down to earth for us to pray and
obey him and to be obedient and make good things, be good to people and
abide bad and evil things that are against our religion. As the
beaches, there are so many sinful act that went on countless of times.
And there you go. After 11 years pioneering my no. 1 spot in Singapore.
Finally something like this happen. Where before there are a strange
water spouts occurs in year 2007.
Allah wa Rasuluhu A`alam. Only God and his Messengers' knows best. Amin.
A fierce lightning hits @ my Kampong of Heaven.
It has caused a serious damage to a DIY hole for rod holders.
Take a look at the fresh mark the lightning have caused.
Mr. Peh Piao is here with me at that moment of truth.
In the Singapore Paranormal Investigator's webpage http://spi.com.sg/haunted/devil_jetty/index.htm. They've declared this place "the Devil's Jetty" after a few fail attempted suicide incidents and possessions.
Heavy thunderstorms approaching.
Take a look at the look of the damage done by the fierce fatal blows of the lightning that has millions of voltage in it.
Another angle of the lightning shot and hit its final target.
Next to me a coming back to the scene after long MIA; Bro Travis from
one the elite SSB Surf Casters. Weighing up to 23 Kilos. This Brown
Stingray (Himantura gerrardi) landed swiftly upon my 3 months off or Missing-in-Action
from my Kampong of Heaven. Records after records were made. And the
great Rambo is back with an extra 1.5 feet and bang the fish has taken
it hard. I swear. Only fought it less than 10 minutes as i had to give
it a good pump in and out before it had the chance to turn back to the
sea and make a desperate run that would make it an hour period before
it lands. Heng ar!
Many misses too by me & Travis. Sis Catherine was there to
loudspeaker the night as i have a goodnight sleep at the sea after so
many months wanting to return to this Kampong of Heaven of Mine.
Man this bugger is heavy but thinner than my January 09's catch with hitting it to 31 Kilos on the scale.
The trophy catch and the very much awaited pose.
Upon return home. My bro Fariz is shocked having to see such a big hauled up from the sea down under.
The butcher is back again.
Now the Stingray is disfigured and looking horrendous.
The first half.
The second butcher takes charge and damn the blood gushes out thru the
veins profusely bleeding. Oh my God. Assam Pedas satu lah!!!
We've claimed another innocent victim. Assam Pedas will be up soon. InsyaAllah.
With the help of Izads' "24/7 a.k.a. the Old Man & the Sea"
and his freshly caught bait. Isa landed this beauty right after the
tide turns down. Not much of an update accept last Sunday evening,
where i had a line bursting action @ my Kampong of Heaven after 3
months Missing-in-Action. Now its my busy and peak period visiting time there with my new Rambo unleashed.
The hungry meaty Grouper have taken the "only" caught Pasir-pasir of the night.
A thorough close-up of that grand colourful beauty.
Will be joining Travis tonight if he don't peh piao me @ my Kampong of Heaven...!
The final product of the Garoupa's fate. Deep fried plus sweet and sour sauce it is. Bon appetit. Walla.
