Prawn Fishing!

Alrighty, i've been fishing b4 but never prawn fishing...anyway Alvin took my to somewhere in Gelugot area for that. We paid RM10 for an hour...where they provide us with rods and bait...after that you can catch as many prawns and you can take them all home. They were fresh water prawns and they have claws like crab only longer, skinnier and smaller of course.

Alright so we cast the rod waited for 10 mins and Alvin caught the first one...we cant actually feel the tug on the rod unlike fishing but there is a float which was used as an indicator. It will bob on the surface of the water and if it suddenly submerge means someone's taking the bait...

i know i know watching a tiny float might souund all too boring but the excitement when u catch a prawn makes it all woth while. We waited another 15 mins but still not a single one....then I got a little frustrated and impatient. I told Alvin ," Come change place with me...your feng shui is chasing the prawn away.....blocking my luck...and what do you know...2 mins after that i caught one! A beauty....and then after another 5 mins I caught another one....how's that for instinct I ask you? Lolz....Alvin swears its a fluke and I told him fine change back....and yea....20 mins without a prawn. He got up obediently changed back his place like I told him too and waited.

And Thank God.....after jiggling the rod a little we caught another one.....haha.....i smirked right to his face while he pretends that unhooking the prawn needs 100% attention and ignores me. Oh yeah, those prawns can sorta pinch you with the claws tho they are small it hurts just a tiny bit i am sure but Alvin being a guy well.....you know...

Anyway I was beaming ear to ear. Alright ppl, I know you're thinking just prawns lar wei...no need so happy kua...but really I was thrilled...and like a 6 year old kid I proudly showed my paretns and my grandparents and my sister the prawns which were still alive when i got back....obviously I relate the trip to them which oft course I made it slightly more dramatic by adding the scene where I wrestle with the prawns...how the rod almost snap.....til my dad shut me up by saying.... those shrimps cant bend the rod lah. SHRIMPS!!!!!!!! I was indignant.prawns..the ones you get in Lorong Selamat fried Koay teow at RM 5.50.

Well, thats my tale on last night. Hope you enjoyed reading.
