It always amazes me how local Anglers catch good size fish each and every time they go fishing. These experts hardly ever come back empty handed. Not so for me. I seldom catch big fish and often end up catching the smallest of fish namely; whip tail, 7 banded grouper (Arumugum) and Blueline grouper. These fish are not favored for the kitchen and hence seldom sold in wet markets.

However last week I finally landed the big one. Large enough to fill the length of the ice-box and good enough for the dinner plate. They were 1.5kg parrot fish. Sizable for local waters
