BJT, FNR... no Not Political Parties...

BJT and FNR are not political parties, although lots of fishing is involved in all three.
BJT stands for Bedok Jetty, a place in East Coast Park in Singapore, which is excellent for fishing, and FNR (Fishing News Room), is a very useful, Singapore based Fishing Forum, in which I signed myself in last night.

I used to fish, without knowing much about it, as in the lines, the reel, the bait, and most of the terminology, neither was I too involved with it. Things have changed now. Since I am pretty much jobless, and had to get myself occupied, I spend my days surfing, and thats how I came into contact with Kerry's (ShoreAngler) website.
I was immediately thrilled to discover Bedok Jetty, and was amazed by the catches of Kerry, so decided to drop in there yesterday with my rod and some mealworms (which are definitely not a good bait at all). The seawater below the Jetty is swarmed with a certain type of fish called Tambans. You can see those at the top left hand corner... not easy to see in the photo, but they are those the little black dots. One can get the thrill of catching these fishes just for the sake of it, but many catch the tambans to use them as a bait to catch bigger fishes, and BJT is famous for such catches if you see Kerry's website.

For now, I am getting to learn all the basics from the fellow anglers, and I can't wait to put all that into practice, on my next trip to BJT!
