Visit to Watukarung, East Java (Day5)
Day1|Day2|Day3|Day4|Day5|Day6
This being the last day, we told L not to go school. Instead, we went fishing with her. She too reminded us that we promised to bring her fishing. The first time here, she was at school and didn't join us. Today, the place was rather empty. I rigged up a tamban jig with small hooks for her. Earlier on, we were at the boat park and met a lady that sold us some small fishes as bait. Now armed with some bait, our fishing was more promising.
True enough, L dropped down the lines and immediately hit on a small damsel fish. A few more tries, she got a nice ACK. I too had some luck and managed to catch 2 ACK. At the end of the session, we missed some catches and landed a few ACK. She was so proud of her catches.
That afternoon, A wanted to just rest at home. But I didn't want to waste the last day here and insisted to go out to visit some places. From my GPS, there was a tlogo (lake) nearby. On the bike with 3 of us, we rode there. But the way turned out to be very rocky and A and L had to walked part of the way. Reaching there, the tlogo was a disappointment as it was cemented up and look very artificial. But i was told that it wasn't a close system and there were some link from the deep end to some other places. True enough, some folks there were catching fishes.
We moved on from there to visit Srau beach again. But this time, we went to another side. And it was more beautiful here. We were hoping to catch the low tide so that we can wade on the beach to explore the creatures. But the tide wasn't too low and most parts were rather rocky. But it was a beautiful scene and a very nice place indeed.
Fishing
Visit to a small passage way

Hmm, getting squeezy


Someone caught a rabbit fish with net

Not sure what fish this is

We bought bait from this lady (who is a relative as well)

Some catches at the fishing shed

L holding up her catch proudly

I finally got my first Indonesian fish!

A nice snapper (by L)

Someone else caught this baby trevally

Her total catch

Tlogo Blue
Alamak, like a swimming pool

But got fish

The locals fishing here

Srau Beach
This place was amazing

Someone doing netting here

Look at the clean and fine sand

Very picturesque cove

A man who caught a seahorse here

Water like plain water

A and L

She found a shiny purple cony shell

Letters in the sand

Man checking his net

Hmm, man is missing something...hehe

Rendition of Ah Cat

She picked up a sea urchin! (which I thot was very pricky. Actually, no)

A white sea urchin

Turtle shaped hill

Sun is setting

A big urchin (they are edible)
