Sunday was quiet at Bintulu’s light industrial area. Business is slow during the Raya season.

So…
Fast forward to the end of business day.
I felt like going fishing for long time already and today seems like the perfect day to waste all the time fishing. This is my first time fishing out by the sea, so basically I’ve got nothing to fish with. So off we went to Farley to get some fishing materials.

Farley is LARGEST supermarket in Bintulu. Opened in September this year, they’re about 1/3 of Miri’s Boulevard in terms of shopping area. Sing Kwong‘s gonna be opened soon just opposite of Farley within a month or so. Shopping space is expected to be larger than Farley’s.

I spent about RM80 for all the fishing needs, including Seahawk’s fishing rod, hooks and stuffs, and then some junk foods, of course.
Then off we drove to the beach. We had to walk approximately 200m out to the rocks to find that perfect spot for fishing. On the way, there’s this really good hole for spa, but too bad it’s not hot water.

The spa hole, big enough for two.

We were planning to fish by the sea initially, but end up the waves were to big we had hardly any spot to stand on the rocks. So we dropped our fishing rods and started to fish inside in between the rocks.
Don’t play play, fishing between the rock canals is pretty fun and exciting too, even though the rewards are not as big as fishing off the seaside.

Small Barramundi on the hook. Small but satisfying catch.

My technician got a smaller version of my catch.
See or not? Must look the positive way in whatever you do. Even though the fish so small, he’s still able to laugh so happily, cause at the end of the day, small fish is better than no fish, right anot?

wuching: They were both dead cause one of them swallowed the whole hook and the other one was hurt when we were removing its hook.

The fish is slightly larger than a anchovy.

i’d say SING KWONG SUPERMARKET FTW!!!!
Farley is just too overpriced and boasts itself attracting customers who drive mercedes whilst SK attracts customers who owns SAGAS AND WIRA
May i say the ratio of Merc to Sagas/wiras are like 10000:1
