Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal

My Duel Livebait - good casting distance


Friendly man in white lost the fish


Getting Hot!!


I had wanted to try out this place for the longest time. But given the rough terrain and shelterless place, I didn't come here until today. The morning weather was nice and cooling, due to rain at some parts of Singapore. TC and I met at TMFT for a nice Killiney breakfast, and then after proceed to try out the water.

The sea here looked the clean, bluish water type. Tide was incoming and should be at around 11-12pm. There were some people there, but nothing crowded. We setup and I did some luring to see if it was productive.

However, I didn't see any fishes at all. But the neighbour angler got a good rod bending bite. But his reaction was too slow, and I supposed the fish had gone into the rocks. He managed to set the hook and was fighting the fish for a while when it got stuck. Most likely a grouper as he was using prawn meat.

I did have a good time doing a few hundred cast with my livebait and a blue crystal minnow, despite the non-catch.

Around 11am, the sun came out and it was sizzling hot. We decided we had enough and packed and left the place. Personally, I think this was a promising spot. Would give it another go some other time.

Went to check out this place. According to man from SeaTackle, CK, can get queenies, barracuda etc..here. Reached there already low tide. The water breaker was exposed and it looked like a good place to park there for casting. I took out my rod while A and D went to the adjoining beach to play with sand.

The area at the breakwater was very slippery with algae and I couldn't get near without risking slipping and injuring myself. There was an old couple picking top shells and the woman actually walked bare footed on the breakwater. Humm..must know Qing Gong one. The place looked ok to fish if the tide is higher on the edge beside the jetty. Right now, the sea was too far away to land the lure at a good distance. Not to mentioned the rocky edge when retrieving the lure. Bound to hit a snag.

There was a pack of dogs at the further end of the beach and they started barking to try scare us away. One even edged nearer to threaten us. Good thing they kept their distance and seemed to backed off if you pick something to throw at them. The water trapped inland was good for some shore seashells picking but I heard got sandflies here. True enough, A and D got bitten and so we moved off after a while. Good thing I had my stingnose with me.

Will revisit this place again.
