crabbing!

as mentioned before in my previous post, we (my secondary school gang and i) decided to go crabbing today!

we reached sembawang park at around 7 plus...


sembawang park jetty

we packed dinner there, so as we were eating, we took a long and hard whiff at the surrounding air...just to make sure that we were next to a shipyard. funky!

after we had our delicious take-away dinner in the superb ambiance, we started getting ready...


set up

actually it was only the second time that we have done something like this, so it took a lot trial and error again to get everything right. seow was the official bait-tier, so he tried a lot of weird ways to get it right...

but seow was getting such a thrill out of threading the lines through the fish's gills and onto the nets that no one was going to tell him to stop...


orgasmic seow


yummy!


how NOT to throw a crab net

eventually we managed to throw out our first net...

after everyone settled down, moby caught the first crab!!! seow promptly christianed him "larry".


larry

a while later, moby and seow caught another one each!

and a while more later, billy joined in on the act...when something implanted itself into his net...

eventually, moby was filling up the bucket like nobody's business...


more crabs

btw, we had beer...


tiger cooler

so the crabs just kept coming...


more and more crabs

and coming...


more and more and more crabs

and coming...


many many crabs

and then finally billy caught one...


virgin billy 1

which he realised wasn't very big after all...


virgin billy 2

moby was catching everything...even fish started falling into his trap...


skyfish 1

and another...


skyfish 2

seow shows billy how to get the big ones...


monster(s)!!!


wowsers!

when we decided that it was time to go, we had...


too many crabs

so we let them go one by one...


free willies 1

all 21 of them...


free willies 2

even the monster...


free willy 3

which pissed seow off...


hungry seow

sigh. the good old days with good old friends...what else can a man ask for. oh yeah...and to the stupid stranger chic who kept asking stupid questions about what we were doing...the FISH is the bait...not the crab...sorry if we lead you to believe otherwise...but you asked for it...muahahaha.

shoezgal...err...ok...but...err...who're you?

furfur_angel...we did try the smelly rotten fish head before...trust me...it doesn't work...ask either victor or billy. i kept the freaking salmon head outside my bedroom window for 2 days straight, and the stench still didn't attract any crabs...it gave us lung poisoning instead. never again. btw, the bait-tier loved his job, so don't pity him...muahahaha.

furfur_angel...salmon heads easier to buy mah...some more they were on sale at ntuc, so i bought 2. i was the designated bait-tier that day, so i can attest to how smelly it was. there were even maggots on it already. i'm getting goosebumps again, just thinking about it...
