Latest Fishing Trend in Singapore called Ajing

Fishing in Singapore waters has certainly changed quite a bit. Gone are the days where you just bait your hook with cut prawn or squid, drop the line and wait for the fish to bite. Then, all you need was a good spot and the right tide. Nowadays the pool of anglers who use artificial lures has grown so rapidly thanks largely to the higher bite rate and variety of catches in Singapore waters as a result of this new trend.
Take a look at Ajing. Its more than just using artificial lures. The rig has to be very light for this style of fishing. Enjoy the videos.

   

The results are amazing especially for Singapore waters.

In my Opinion the Best Catamaran has got to be the WorldCat Series

Take a look at the performances of the Catamaran over the mono hull. Nothing comes close if you are looking for the softest ride ever. I have been operating a Cat the last 10 years and now I won't go back to mono hulls unless they are over 55 feet.

The Arrow Cat Express 300

A superb 30 foot Power Catamaran fitted with Outboards. The perfect boat for the busy executive. No maintenance headaches. Just store her in the safety of the boat house and just launch her anytime you go to sea. All round protection from sun, sea and wind. Outboards are the way to go these days, unless you plan on a very long voyage.

Protecting our Freedom and Individual Rights

I want to go to sea and sail the oceans. To experience true freedom unshackled from the throngs of society and prohibitions. To sail responsibly because I want to and not because I'm compelled to do so. To be a respecter of nature, immersed and not just an observer oblivious of the magical moments that unravel before me. This TED talk is a mind opener.

Fishing gets better in Singapore with new age anglers

The old style of fishing with live or dead baits do not catch pelagic fish such as Trevally and Scad as easily as artificial lures. You get better results with ready made jigs like Sabiki and Sure-Catch or micro jigs which comes in countless designs and colors. The other variable is the fishing spot and timing. Do you fish on a rising or falling tide with a strong or weak current. It seems the more academic you are the less likely you will catch fish. The experts observe much and speak little.


   

The Grady Tiger Cat 18 years old and still going strong

Eleven years ago, a friend of mine bought a used Grady Catamaran, modeled as the Tiger Cat. It was Grady White's entry into multi-hulls. It was also to be the last time they built a Cat. Shortly after the introduction of the Tiger Cat, Grady decided to halt production of Catamarans and stick to mono hulls. A decision that remains till this day. I often wondered why. After having used the Tiger Cat, the last 11 years, I am convinced beyond any doubt that this 26 foot Grady with twin 150HP  Outboards, handles the chops far better than the Grady mono hulls; especially in head seas. So I am surprised they didn't expand the Cat range instead.  Anyway, I'm sold on the Grady Cat. Its one hull of a boat.
