Local light jigging trip

Last sunday we had a fun local light jigging trip, our target fish for this trip is Bumpnose Trevally aka Sagai.

Early in the morning ibr came to pick me up at my place and we had our breakfast together. At about 7.30am we reached west coast yacht club and meeted up with thomas, blurfish and weilin.

Thomas went over to fishing buddy very early in the morning to get the 1kg live prawns we order from them and our lunch. Not all knows how to jig so we need to get some baits for them, but than its also good to have some baits around lol cos hor we won't be able to jigging the whole day as there will be some timing that the sagai will not be biteing.

DAIWA BRADIA 2500

Just got myself a new reel from hotspot today lol it's a great offer lor and i don't want to miss it. I think if i miss it this time very have to come across such a great deal again lol.

Some say the bradia is an lower version of CERTATE 2500R CUSTOM hmmm will i not sure lol but from the look of the Reel Spec both reels are almost the same lor. Is just that Certate 2500R has more bearings than the bradia and bradia come with a folding handle and the reel is in black, hai..... need to spend a bit more money to change the handle and knob to RCS parts if you want to make it look nicer. lol think i will only change them on my next pay day bah.

This coming sunday i'll be going for an local offshore trip hahaha i can try my new toy liao hopefully i can catch something with it.
