When in Doubt, go Fishing.

Get squids for bait, it is a good place to start. Small fishes are ok too and shrimps, but if you are going just for a few hours two good size shrimps will hold you through.

Head on the end of the end of the rock wall at the Terengganu River mouth. Development has caused the river mouth to be narrowed down and talking to fishermen friends and my friend Mohd. Rafi, the retired Matitine personnel.  A man who spent a great number of years coast guarding the South China Sea coastline; the project will cause a disaster in the future. Bur for now it looks beautiful and the tourists will like it. 

Start casting, you will never know what will be tugging at the other end, big or small, common or expensive, it is out there and your luck. .

A young couple on a holiday trip won Rm50000 fish catching competition in Kuantan. They joined in after deciding to buy the rods and the works there and then, never did much fishig before and wham the wife hooked a large Sting Ray, the heaviest fish caught for the day! Among thousands of professional fishermen taking part what are the chance that this little housewife on their second honeymoon would snag a whopper!.

Getting snagged and loosing you hook, line and sinker is part of fishing.

Do not forget to admire the sunset while you are at it.

Capture a local smile if there is one for your subject.

Ikan Duri pun Ikan duri la.. Patience.

The whole truth about fishing is Patience.

And you almost got the big one that got away!
