First time doing full night fishing. Visibility wasn't much of an issue as there are street lamps and I also brought a hand held lamp and headlamp. Maybe the headlamp battery is whacked due to age as it went flat after about 2 hours into the fishing session.

Was talking to a passer-by as I was setting up the traps. He came all the way from Hougang to see the waves. Chatted a while with him about fishing and current affairs before we parted ways to do our respective activities. 

Catch wise, not much luck in getting any big fish, the baits constantly getting eaten by mooncrabs. Managed to get some strikes using Sabiki rig, but they are all small fishes. Took one of the Spangled Emperor I caught home as the hook is deep in its throat. Doubt it will survive even if I managed to get the hook out, so it is going to the dinner table. 

Made some improvement to the crab nets for this trip. The baits are now places in nylon bag or steel cage. This prevent the prawn baits from being eaten by the hermit crabs, but sadly not sizeable flower crabs or fishes were caught in the trap.
