First time trying this grey site. I guess it is alright to fish here as there is no sign prohibiting it. I am not the first one to realized this god forsaken place is a fishing spot as there were fishing hooks and lines littered around to area. There are even a few rental bikes parked here too, which I promptly leaned my rods against as I assemble them.

Lost four rigs during this trip. 3 due to the lines getting stuck in the trees or on the fences. Guess I really have to work on my casting accuracy and have the line fly in the direction I wanted it to. The 4th rig had the worst fate. The moray eel which I hooked up just coiled around and dispense slime on the line and rod tip. Had to cut the line to get it untangled before releasing it back into the water. Washed the rod with fresh water to remove the slime before continue fishing and also gave it a good scrub after the fishing trip.

Muddy bottom, means mud crabs. Got one around the same size from the market. Another  smaller one managed to escape and dropped into the drain. These buggers are sure aggressive. The moment I got close the menacing claws are immediately pointed at me. Good thing I used fish pliers to grab the second one. Can't imagine how painful it will be if the claw managed to snap one of my limbs.
