Terrain: Beach In Front Of Carpark 6

Starting from the grass outcrop. Sloped sandy beach for about 20m, follow by about 100m of flat terrain.
















Low tides
Taken when tide is about 0.3m on 27-07-2025 at around 6.30am.
Vicious sandflies inhabit the beach, so cover your feet and legs while fishing there.

Remember to release the critters back to the sea, so you will be able to find them again the next time.

A great fishing trip today. Learnt a lot from two fishermen today and also caught and release a nice big catfish.

Few things I learnt from fellow abangs:
1. This marine catfish with body strips is not tasty, the tasty one has no body strips.
2. Good time for crabbing is when the current is slow.
3. The canel near East Park Carpark G is a good fishing spot
4. Can try the beach in front of Pasir Ris Park Carpark A
5. Go to Punggol beach during low tide, so as to surf cast. There are mangrove jacks to be caught
6. Live bait are the best if want to catch tasty fishes such as Barramundi

Field tested the new plastic crab traps I bought from Shopee and I am not really happy with the results. The plastic is not robust enough to withstand rough handling. By the end of the trip, both of the traps have cracks on their body. Probably can use the traps one more time before throwing them away as it is not possible to repair the structural damage.

Really slow day today. Nothing in the crab cage even though I set them up and left them in the water for 4 hours since 6.30am. That is about four solid hours with fish head + salted fish and belachen as bait. Could it be due to the fabled new moon that made the crabs molted and go into hiding until their shell harden. Going to try the same spot next week to test the hypothesis.
