  since we are fishing for rabbit fish, get the smallest gold hooks you can find and 4-6 lb line, it'd be easier to buy those pre-tied packet of sabiki jigs and just cut away the feathery stuff ...
  
  bait is white bread, though you can bring along some prawn and sotong with bigger hooks and you'll get bigger stuff like fingermark snapper there ....

  woo hoo... sounds good... now how many rods shd i bring?

  for personal use two is enough lah .... one to float out bread for the rabbit fish .... the other to float out sotong or prawn pieces for everything else ....
  
  there are too many rocks there not to use a float ....

  Where : labrador park
  
  When : TBC, but before or around CNY cos we're fishing for rabbit fish
  
  What : fishing plus picnic ....
  
  Target fish: rabbit fish aka peh toh haer, or CNY fish .... they come in to spawn around this time, and they are fat and juicy
  
  what to bring: your own fishing rod and reel (a dirt cheap combo set would do if you don't have one), and of course, food .....
  
  and also bicycles and roller blades and frisbees if you are so inclined .... remote controlled toys would be great there also ....
  
  what to do : eat drink, play and be merry .... we can make it a picnic outing, or can detour for a gluttony session at vivo afterwards .... there's the bay to explore, similar to chek jawa ... and also the "sentosa tunnel" if you remember your "hey Singapore" ...

  This is all sounding pretty cheem to me with all the tackles and spearheads we have to bring. Think I'll just show up with a cheap fishing kit from Carrefour. Do we bbq the catch or set them free again?

  (okie, disclaimer ... I enjoy anything involving the ocean, but diving supersedes fishing, if I can dive, I wouldn't fish, but since I can't dive everyday ... fishing'll have to do sometimes ... )

  What's the relevance between diving and fishing? You're in the water when you dive and hovering above it when you fish. Warped theory.

  It's abnormal not to be squeamish about milt.

  But raw??? Ewww (Roe is one thing..... Milt another) Fried is ok though
  But Fatum should like it ma
  I mean the chinese believe that what you eat is good for whatever part you have
  
  Instead of drinking his potent herbal brew he might as well eat milts

  fishing and diving both = near the ocean ...
  
  as long as I'm by the ocean, or on it, or underneath the surface, I'm happy ...
  
  that's why I never quite got the same kind of satisfaction fishing in the canadian lakes even though the fishies were a lot more plentiful and way way more stupid .... the water wasn't salty ...
