Hi Hive Lovers
This is my fishing activity on the 3rd week of last March. The place is just around the estuary of the mangrove forest, because you can't go fishing in the sea. The weather is bad, it can rain at any time accompanied by storms, and it is impossible to neglect safety and security for the pleasure of fishing.
We just circled the mangrove forest using a small manual canoe, using wooden oars. Haven't caught a fish yet. We even got a bit of rain before we found shelter. An uninhabited wooden hut, spacious enough to shelter from the rain. This stilt hut complete with a kitchen is only used when catching fish at certain seasons by the owner.
Our prediction is that it will rain for a long time and it will be very unpleasant for those of us who come fishing just for fun. I took the initiative to contact a friend on land to bring us some groceries and for this cold rainy weather, the best is the yellow noodles cooked with mud crab.
Mangrove crabs are very easy to find, in this area the ecosystem is very good. We just need to lower the traps provided in the shelter huts into the water and wait a while, surely we will catch it.
Not long after, the person from the land came with our order. Thank you for coming and he is also good at cooking and he will be our chef today.
After the chef prepared the ingredients, we tried to lift the crab traps that were submerged in water under the hut. luckily there were already 5 medium size crabs in it. According to the chef, that was more than enough to add a crab flavor to our noodle soup. But, of course it's not enough to fill our rumbling stomachs because of the rain.
Here it is, the yellow crab noodle menu is cooked. The rain had stopped when we enjoyed this special dish, the sun was already visible.
After finishing cleaning the cooking area, cleaning the hut and going back to the boat, it rained again, even for a whole day with an intensity that sometimes drizzled and rained heavily, then drizzled again for a long time.
By late afternoon, the rain had stopped and there was little time for fishing and the river water was turning yellow because of the overflowing water upstream. This is not the right time for fishing, no fish will grab our fishing bait.
So, we agreed to just go home and plan our next fishing schedule.
When he was about to get ready to go home and try to lift the fishing rod that had remained attached from the start to shelter in the log cabin, unexpectedly this beautiful grouper became the best gift for today's fishing.
Next time, if we are lucky to catch a lot of fish, I will share the experience with all of you.
Thank you for stopping by and keep enjoying whatever the situation is
Best Regards
