Squid fever 烏賊祭り

It's true, speed kills....... too bad for this small fella stuck on my car on the way to the East Coast, Pekan town.....
The boat set sail in the morning, this time we grouped-up with some friends from China and Singapore...... together we went wild fishing squid on rocky Pulau Berhala.......
It took us less than an hour to reach there with this powerful outboard engines even with rough sea conditions.......
Here we come...... it's been a while since my last trip to this Island, kind of miss it.
It needed everyone effort to unload the gears from the boat in choppy water condition.....Views from the island.....After setting up their fishing gear, everyone went trying their luck....... Yeah! My first squid....... Beautiful!Me & my catch......
Jeff caught himself a crab??.....
Frank's catches......
Everyone was emotionally engaged from the squid fishing experience........
Even our freshy lady angler........ 頑張って!Not bad for a beginner.......... Lady luck??? Ha Ha Ha!Plentiful squids....... can stock up my freezer for many months......
Lunch time! Jeff cooked his noodle with freshly caught squid...... Mmmmm Goody!
We even tried it SASHIMI style, this is by far the best way to taste it.......
Look at the bait fishes.......No wonder there are so many squid around the island.
And plenty of live oysters....... But we had no time for it.....
We also went boat fishing around the area.....
Squid fever!!!Look at the mess...... Don't put the blame on the squid, blame the handler. ( This was caused by Hoe )
Happy faces.....Our boatman, Ricky & his catches.... Two types of squid.....
Our lady angler from China, not doing too bad herself.......
I think these catches will last a while before we make another trip like this....... Heh Heh Heh!
