Fishing!!

Sultan Shoal island is the fishing haven for many PSA staff! In the good old days before Jurong Island was reclaimed, the sea is bustling with fishes, and tales of anglers catching fishes weighing in kilos and huge barracudas were told. Buckets of kunning and tambans were brought home.  In the later years, such catch are till happening, but not as frequent, Nonetheless a great place for anglers, with air conditioned chalets just seconds away from the fishing jetties. 



 Queenfish, aka 三保公鱼.  Story was that 三保公(郑和) release the fish, and left his finger print on the fish,
which explain the few dots on the fish body.

when landed is to poo.
