Decided to go down to our usual spot for PBs today with or jiao. reached the place at around 8.30am and carried on walking to our spot.

After about 15min, we finally reached our spot. It wasn't a very good day for fishing at the sun wasn't out and the wind was blowing hard therefore we couldn't spot the PBs. As we were walking, or jiao spotted a small PB and casted his XPS minnow at it. On his first cast, FISH ON! As it was small, he subdued it in less than a minute.

We were walking somemore when I saw a structure in the water. I casted parallel to it and soon enough, I caught my first PB for that day. It was a hard fighter. It swam from left, right and left again. I finally managed to bring it in after a really hard fight. It turns out that I hooked it right next to its eye. Measured it and released it. It was 45cm in length, a fairly decent size.

We carried on walking along the sideline and soon enough, we spotted 2 probably breeding PBs. We tried at least 30 times of casting our lures and making them swim past the PB's mouth, the mama PB decided to whack my friend's XPS minnow. It was quite an average-sized one and managed to tire it out in 1min. Now it was my turn. I casted my River2Sea HumBug and let it sink on a rock right next to the PB's mouth. I tried to twitch but it seemed like my lure was stuck. I puled even harder this time and it turns out that a fish had attacked my lure. It was the papa PB and he wasn't happy. He swam left to right and continued this routine accompanied by a few aerial displays before I got it in about 2-3min after. I measured it and it was 50cm long, one of my biggest PBs yet.

After these fish, we decided to head home.
