Yesterday was the last day of my exams. I decided to take this opportunity to go fish.

Matthew and I reached the spot at about 3.30pm. First we tried for some haruans using minnows. I caught one small one after about 10 casts and Matthew missed a few.


We got tired of catching haruans so we carried on to the main course. Took out my Jackson Athlete while Matthew used an XPS minnow. We tried all around the spot, but no fish were present. When we were about to move again, something hit my lure. Gave it a hard strike and the fight was on. As I didn't want to lose the fish, I started cranking like mad. Within 10 seconds, the herring was landed. Although a small species, it's the first one for me. We continued fishing but gave up eventually.


Suddenly, we all had the urge to hunt for haruans AGAIN. Took out my favourite topwater lure, Yozuri Arm Swisher and within 5 casts, i was rewarded with a nice attack on my lure. Gave a strike and slowly fought the fish. The haruan landed was slightly bigger than my first one. While fishing for more, the sky was overcast and we had to run for shelter.
