Of fishing and Nerf Guns


This is a blog that is suppose to write on my fishing with my boys but so far, they are more keen to go playing with their Nerf guns. Both of them bought a Nerf Vulcan and both wants to be Rambo. The gun is built like a real General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) and it fires via a magazine belt of bullets! I have bullets shooting all over the place and its chaos. I had to confiscate the guns yesterday cause it was getting really heated. Only on weekends when I take them to an open space, can they start using them!

I did fish last Sunday, 24 Jan at PRPP. I have not fished there for sometime and decided to just go and not think so much. Paid and proceed to cast my line with the usual white squidies. A couple of knocks but not much action. Saw people hitting nice size snappers with fish meat but I resisted the tempatation to use baits and continued to lure.

One hour past and I was sorely tempted to use the KS that I brought. At the 1 hour 15 minute mark, fish ON! The line peeled off and fought the fish till it was subdued. A nice 1.5 kg ACK. Cast off again and fish ON again - WOW 2 in a row! Reeled up a real fighter of a mangrove jack. I thought that I hit a rich vein of fish but after the 2 bites, it was all quiet! :(

On the 1.45 hour mark, I decided to give luring a rest, changed the rig and used a large piece of KS. Cast and just waited. What do you know. The line started moving and I struck and before long, a 2 plus kg ACK came up.

Did not have further bites and it was getting late and dark. Packed up and it was a fruitful day of fishing. Now if only the Nerf Vulcan is able to shoot the fishes! Gotta bring the boys out and savour the outdoors. Enough of the Nintendo Wii, game boys, Nerf guns, TV, Internet etc......Did not have those as a kid and we just played with whatever our imagination took us. So next trip, the boys will be joining me for sure! Or else I am going to use the Nerf GPMG on them!:)
