Fishing means catching fish...well, Prawning of coz means catching prawns. And similar to fishing, we use a rod to catch the prawns one-by-one.
Sounds interesting???
I went prawning with Kim and Kris 2 days ago...how did we end up there?
It was Good Friday and we din have to go to work. So, not wanting to stay home and rot, I asked if they wana go East Coast for a stroll on the beach in the morning and maybe take some pics and compare it to Gold Coast's beautiful beach.
Sounds like a good idea, but unfortunately due to some turn of events, we ended up making a detour to Pasir Ris to pick up some things. But not before we bought breakfast from Burger King at ECP...sounds real silly huh? Coz we took a wrong turn into Burger King's Drive Thru and was too paiseh not to order something...and since we havent had breakfast then...so we just bought food lor.
After we finished the errand at Pasir Ris, we were lazy to return to ECP (remembering the queue of cars when we left) and decided to head for Pasir Ris Park instead. On the way there, we passed by this road which leads to some fauna farms. It is actually the same road tat leads to the fauna farm which I went with Charmaine during her school trip. Tats where we found our prawning place, up along tat road. I dun remember the name of the place though...sorry, u have to find it urself.
Anyway, the cost of prawning there goes like that:
Per Rod
1 Hour - $15
2 Hours - $25
3 Hours - $30
Seems a bit expensive coz u can probably buy a lot more prawns from the market for tat price but for a sport or hobby to pass time...its actually quite fun.
I took some pics there, even got some of Kim and Kris but decided against putting them up on blog in case I get hantam to death by them...hehehe....here are the others:-
"Big Prawny"
"Me with the rod"
"Staring at the line for hours...."
"Our catch of the day - 8 prawns!"
"Live prawns in running water before cooking"
Result of our prawning:
Kris - 7 prawns
Kim - 1 prawn (baby prawny)
Me - 0!!!
Yah, I suck at prawning. In fact, I gave up after trying for 1 hr. Then I took out my PSP and was playing it while Kris and Kim continued prawning. We spent 4 hrs there with 2 rods, cost us $80 to catch 8 prawns...ooooo, expensive prawns cost $10 each! LOL!
It was fun anyway, should try it if u never did.
