This day marks two historical events.. one is Alvin's first time fishing in Adelaide and it's my first time fishing ever! Alvin's uncle and aunty, Foo Sook and Foo Sum, took us on a two hour drive to a small town call Wallaroo one EARLY Saturday morning...and of course, i slept all the way while Alvin was too excited to sleep. Why was Alvin excited? Well, i asked myself the same question over and over again... it can either be that he thought he is King Neptune and the sea is calling for him... or that the whole fishing trip just got him to miss his best fishing 'mate' back in Malaysia... either one, it doesn't sound good =P
Anyway, we arrived the fishing spot at about 8am Adelaide time... It was COLD and windy....
Haha tricked ya! This is NOT Alvin! It's King Neptune.. But how i wish it was.. except for the fish tail =P
Ta-da! It's no King Neptune but i am satisfied =)Alvin was quick in getting his line ready... his philosophy is, 'The early bird catches the early fish'..
But shockingly, Foo Sum was much faster than Alvin! Even Alvin could not believe it!
Foo Sook was fast setting up his crab nets too
The jetty at Wallaroo...
Me having a go at fishing! Had a fun time but waited LONG for something (or ANYTHING) to bite....
May as well pose for more pictures while waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting,...... *yawn*
The BEST part of fishing! LUNCH!!!!! Yummy home made bread and roast chicken sandwich made by Foo Sum... I had half of Alvin's share since he was too occupied staring at the deep ocean hoping and waiting for God knows what!... *kuku*
FINALLY either he wisen up or he can't fight his hunger anymore =P
At last he caught something with MY fishing rod! It's a Silver Trevally....
Foo Sook did very well as always, with his crab nets..
The fish measuring station where the chart tells you the legal size limit and bag limit for each species of fish....
A Whiting we caught earlier on... This fish is perfect for fish and chips!
Could you guess what is this that got stuck on Alvin's fishing hook?...
It's a baby Abalone!.. As it was way undersize, we had to let it go..
The squids that Foo Sum caught... her favourite prey...
The wise ol' Foo Sook teaching me how to clean the crabs....
My first time scaling a fish.... also thought by the ol' wise one =)
Me showing off our only two fishes caught for the day... we were fishing for SEVEN hours!
The best part of the trip... cooking our catch!... It's so fresh! Foo Sum cooked the squids salt and pepper style...
Crabs fried with ginger and spring onions....Since Alvin is allergic to shell fishes, i had the honour to have his share! What's a wife for? =)
