It looks like after our second day of fishing trip, my family wants to go again—especially my wife and mother-in-law, Nenek Ama. Originally, we just planned to go back to my wife’s hometown for a short vacation and sightseeing, but that plan quickly turned into a full-on fishing trip since most of the family loves it.
Every day, my mother-in-law and some other family members would go fishing at the irrigation canals and small rivers within 1–2 km from the house. Whenever we visit, fishing is always a must. But this time, since I was around, they wanted to try sea fishing. They only get the chance to do this when my wife and I come home. So here we are, on our second day, fishing by the sea.
Today’s fishing spot is a place the locals call "the quarry," probably because there’s a stone quarry nearby. It’s a well-known spot among hardcore anglers. We left early because I wanted to buy a longer rod and a bigger reel. After picking my gear at fishing store, I went with a 10-foot rod and an Okuma 6000 reel. I've always wanted to try a heavier setup with a longer rod and a stronger reel. Up until now, I’ve only ever used an ultralight setup.
The biggest challenge today? The rain. It rained non-stop from morning until 5:30 PM. It wasn’t heavy, but it just kept going. I was completely soaked, but I stuck it out and fished until nightfall. Unfortunately, it wasn’t my lucky day. Despite having a brand-new rod and reel, I didn’t catch a single fish. Pretty disappointing.
But at least we didn’t go home empty-handed! My wife, her mom, our nephew, and a few other family members caught more fish than usual. Some weren’t so lucky, just like me. But honestly, I wasn’t too upset—because the real win was getting myself a brand-new fishing setup!
It is a great way to bond with your family @menzo . Never minding the rain you did have a great day fishing!
Fishing is an interesting activity that I want to dive into. It's a fun and stress-free activity.
