Fishing on Dark Horse

We finally decided to get our boat, after many, many years of thinking about it. Well, the opportunity seemed right when H imported Dark Horse from the US, and we thought it was a good size boat that would suit our cruising (including watching TP in regattas) and occasional fishing needs. We didn't expect HY and TP to enjoy fishing that much. Either way, it's been great for family outings and trips with H's family. Here are photos from some of the outings.

Our extended family went fishing at the Ubin - Ketam area on National Day.

Interesting catch by HL - a Sea Pen

TP enjoys casting as much as actually catching fish

Sure catch Trevally at Smith Marine

Another sure catch KBL. Same price as Shing Shiong @ $13 each

We decided to move Dark Horse to SAFYC in August 12. En route, we fished around Ubin and lunched at Smith Marine fish farm.

We were pleasantly surprised that HY enjoyed fishing

We went out again with H's family on 14 Oct, together with Dada and Jiajia. This is something that HY had been wanting to do. We had initially wanted to go the weekend earlier, immediately after HY's PSLE. Unfortunately, the weather was threatening. We also decided to postpone the outing a week later because Dada had just gone for his cataract operation. As the boat was now in Changi, we decided to try fishing in the nearby area, up to Bedok Jetty this time.

Another interesting catch by HL. This time it's an octopus.

I love this photo. They look so relaxed, and happy.
