Fishing Adventures 1: Marina Lure Fishing 1986-1989

Those were the days I used to rush down to Marina Bay every Friday after school with a few of my classmates to do a spot of lure fishing. At times, the Garoupas were so abundant that we could have mini competitions among ourselves. Of course, the occasional Trevally, Queeny, Barracuda, Mangrove Jack, Barra and Snapper showed up once in a while to add variety.

Although getting stuck was already a problem back then, we had HUMAN LURE RETRIEVERS assigned for each particular day so that only one person had to get wet... no doubt swimming and diving for our lures was a messy and risky method (and I still don't know what made us do it time and time again), it made the whole experience so much more enriching. BUT DON"T ASK ME TO DO IT AGAIN!!! Nevertheless, those were damn good days man!!!
