Fishing at Sg Buah, Bangi Again

Yesterday, Derrick, Joey and I went fishing again at Sg Buah, my 3rd outing there after several successful days catching and releasing pacu's.  The day was cool as it had rained the day before.  The ground where I sat was soggy.  We got there after breakfast (roti canai and teh tarik) at a local stall.

We set up our gears in 2 places as there were several people there already.  Derrick and Joey went to the middle and started reeling in fish after fish, much to other people's envy.  Joey drew a lot of attention with his style.

I caught only a small featherback, a fairly large pacu, a small one and that was it.  When I decided to go for a walk, the reel started pulling and Derrick reeled in a fairly large pacu.  I was more interested in getting small fish for my aquarium.  Caught several fighting fish, 2 large tadpoles and a marble goby.  They are all swimming nicely in my aquarium now.

We decided to leave when the sky turned grey and the wind buildup.  The pressure rose and the whole area became cool almost instantly.  It started to drizzle as we packed up.  Derrick and I showered quickly.  We left the place about 4pm but turned back when I remembered that we had left 2 featherbacks in a floating net.  Walking in the rain with an umbrella, I retrieved the net with the fish, to be placed in a small container with the rest of the small fish I had caught.  The rain poured down.

We dropped by the tackle shop at Seri Kembangan to pick up some stuff and headed home.
