I'm back from kellong! the trip there didn't really take that long afterall.
woke up at 530, boarded the bus at 6. went right trough the customs and ate breakfast at some sentosa place in JB. then drove for 1hr30mins and we reached the jetty. another hour later, we arived at the kelong.
we were the later boat, so we only managed to get the 2nd level beds. whose were above the windows, and like sleeping in the attic. hot and stuffy. But we took the fan and propped it up on the bar.. but it was cosy up there. we had food, water, and all sorts of things on the deck that nobody looks up to..
so lunch was served even before i could finish setting up the rods. i have about 6 rods in totoal. but brought only the best 4, and when i arrived there, 1 reel was broken. so down to 3. actually more than enough for a 1 night stay. and after lunch, i immediately went to the pool table.good old pool table. normally they'd have 15 balls, but this one has 17 balls..haha. and only 1 que left, which is broken in half and repaired with masking tape. the tip totally worn to the metal. and not to forget, the table was slanted. haha. so after 1 game of pool with jon which i lost. i played on. so unlike me. usually i'd be fishing 5mins from the time i arrive at the kelong. but nah. i was ready to rest and relax and have fun. and only catch sotong.
so i did. didn't hook a single fish. only caught 1 really cute sotong. here's the pic. haha.
this kelong wasnt too good. not many fishes. I'll go to the other kelong next time. that one gives you 6 fishes in 1 catch. haha. and lots of big fish too.
so we left after lunch the next day. took a super bumpy ride. lousy coach and fast driver with bumpy roads. we literally lifted off the seats. reached home about 4plus.
that's about all..
sat back in my sofa watching national geographic while half falling asleep. hha.
You won! 12:42 AM
