Disclaimer: I AM NOT the author of this ... credit to the original author.

so here goes:

This topic has been created for all new ppl who have never seen the site

http://www.oceanic-air.com/

Here are ALL of the secrets revealed. Unfortunately, there has not been much by way of new things on the site.. however, if there is something missed on this post, feel free to post it!!!

(and kudos to my friend who posted this on another forum a long time ago... don't hit me for plagarism! I only stole some of what you wrote!!)

Upon entering the site, we are taken to the main page.

On the main page, we see a frame with a notice from Oceanic-Air:
We regret to announce that Oceanic Airlines has ceased all operations effective immediately.

Michael Orteig, President of Oceanic Airlines, released this statement: "After 25 years of service, we are forced to close our doors. Due to financial difficulties in the wake of the Flight 815 tragedy, we are no longer able to sustain service.....


Let us begin our "quest" for Easter Eggs by moving the mouse to the right side of the frame containing the apology message. A grey line appears. Click and hold to drag it around. We now see a crumpled page of the supposed "Pink Script" from Exodus II (season finale)



The main entty that catches your eye here is of course "J.J. Abram's" text <>
What's a Mapinguari? It is a legendary primorial creature resembling a Sloth and/or a Komodo Dragon (?). Of course, as you may have already guessed the legends decribe it as enormous. Some Lost Fans, believe that Mapinguari is just a clue to the real nature of the "monster".
Note that the Exodus Pink Script is no longer available since the July 23rd update

Moving on. Let us refresh the page and get the Script out of the way.
A new development-- by clicking and dragging towards the bottom of the apology frame, you can scroll up and down.
Notice that next to the apology letter frame (rather "behind" it) certain letters appear to protrude. If you triple click on them, copy/paste to notepad you will see some of the bottle messages the castaways sent aboard the raft in Exodus I. (note that if you let your mose hover over the apology letter for a moment, another message will appear on top of it) -- viewing the page sourse is another method

Thank You - Robert

If anyone should find this message, please get word to Sandra Rafflethorpe of Palm Avenue in Lewiston, Idaho that her sister, Sally is alive and stranded on an island somewhere in the South Pacific. Please send help soon. Things are bad. And they're getting worse...
-Sally

If you are reading this note (duhh, you friggin' idiot) PLEASE get word to my wife, Christina Smith that her huband, Jake survived the crash of Oceanic Flight #815 along with 47 others. Darling I miss you so much and dream of the day I can see your face again. The very thought of that day is all that keeps me going here. Please don't forget me!
- Jake Smith

This is Bob Jones, of Tulsa Oklahoma and I would like to inform the First National Bank of Enid that I will be late making my September morgage payment as I am STRANDED ON A FRIGGIN' ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE! Please have the Government send a search team immediately or dont all the taxes I pay cover expenses like that?
- BJ (kinda like Lesley Arzt, isn't he?)

Next. Look at the banner at the top of the page "Taking you to places you've never imagined". To the right, there are three trees on the island. Two stand normally, but the third appears to be FLOATING (or flying)... Is this the doing of the "security system"?, the "Monster"?, "Smokey"



Note that the Banner has been replaced by a similar one since the July 23rd update



Black smoke and the raft were added. And now that I look carefully, I notice footprints on the beach in both banners (scroll to the bottom for more details on the banner)

Also, to the left of the main page, you can see special flight prices and an Oceanic advirtisment for the "Australian Walkabout" John Locke "went" on.




This has been replaced by a new advertisment- "visit ancient Australia".. Hmmm.. Time travel?



Most of the pages give a 404 (URL not found) Error.

However if you click on "Island Insider" on the Site bar, the inflight magazine will open. Click on the text Oceanic Airlines In-Flight Exclusive
The website will ask you a question (which you may attempt many times)..
After you answer it correctly, the page will ask for your email, and tell you that they will send a special email imforming you of Lost updates
The first email was sent to all subscribers on July 23rd

Now, this section appears to have dissapeared from the site. But when the site just started, you could access an Oceanic Postcard.



Go back to the main page, we will now view the 815 seating chart (there are multiple ways to do this)
Click track flight in the Site Menu. Type "815" in flight number

The following Tracker opens



The plane that crashed has an acutal arrival time. 20 Minutes late. The plane is also has only 3 seats in the central aisle, wheras in LOST we clearly see 4.
Also see the order of numbers in the 815 row- 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42

Note that there are a few changes in the tracker as well since the 23rd
(Scroll down for details)

Moving on,
The status of flight 815 is on "Alert". Click on the "815" record.

A (Flash animated) Seating chart will now open.



It takes time, but by clicking all over the place, certain seat of certain special castaways light up. When you click on them, Many different things happen. Try it..

Here are some images and details: (note that the flight here is called flight #777)


Jack
23A / 23C
Oceanic flight 777 changes to 815
and flight815.com (an inactive website)



The bottle pops around the screen
The vodka bottle labled Dojd (Russian for rain)
[when viewed in "Pilot I" we cn see it also says "Vse Unichtojit" = "Everything Destroy"]
We can also see the blur of Jacks face in the neck of the bottle at some moments.


Rose
23 D



A ring floats down the animation and we hear Roses voice saying
"Started having me hold on to his wedding ring whenever we took a plane trip"
(he speaks of her husband, who I'm guessing is very wise and still, very much alive [along with Ana-Lucia and company])


Shannon
8 F
We see Sayid's Iraqi passport. On it are some Arabic details which i have yet to translate (when Hatch101 gets back, we will know more )




We see Danielles illustration of the island (near the lagoon area); ie: North-west side



"Rafiot" is where her boat crashed.
I have interpreted ALL of her equations and I will post them sometime (theyre all on paper).. we also see the "La Mer" lyrics (used in Finding Nemo, 2002)


Boone
8 E



A (flashing) hand drawing of Boone (the dead do0d, but u already knew that, didn't you?)
The drawing fades into blue and then disappears
Ok, now get this, for some reason; Boones "picture" seems to zoom out of Jack's seat- Here's an accidental screen cap of mine--


John (Locke)
24 D
This one scared the living crap out of me.
We first see some pictures of survival guides, knives, etc.








Then out of nowhere comes a black & white pic of a p^ssed off Locke, and a horrible screeching sound. Like that of a subway train de-railing... wait.. where have we heard "train" before?
That thing had me jumping off my chair trying to find the corner of my igloo.




Charlie
29 C
We see Craire's diary, and a picture of her ex-boyfried is scratched out.. I'm still working on this as well.


Then we see a [swinging] backstage, all access Driveshaft Pass.



Mars (Edward)-- The marshall with Kate
27 G
We see an American Marshall's office ID.


This picture also alternates with a red hued picture of him sleeping (Well, dying whatever)


Kate
27 H
Ok, why is her name Kate Ryan here? Isn't she Kate Austin? She was married, she reveals this when she plays "I Never" - Sawyers Drinking Game
The picture of the airplane on the seating chart changes to Kates (highschool sweetheart's) toy Plane. The one he recieved when flying from Dallas alone.


We then see a faxed copy of (the second page of) her mugshot
.. not so hot now, eh?



Last, but most certainly not least;
if you click (and make sure that you click), on the Row number
Hurley's Lucky/Unlucky lotta numbers, in order
(4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42)
You will see the trailer for Lost: Season 2.
Then you'll be taken to the "Hidden" Oceanic section of the ABC Message boards [made in MySQL powered by forums.go.com]

The msg the trailer gives us?
"But on the other side of the island; they will discover that they're not the survivors they thought they were"
Mr. Green

End of July Update:
The oceanic site has quite a bit of new easter eggs.
On the main page, the Banner has been changed slightly, it is now also animated
Also the Australian walkabout advertisment has changed to visit ancient Australia (as I mentioned earlier)



Let's Continue,
Open the tracker page, track flight 815.. the table has changed



Give us THE BOY? Hmmmmm.. lets go back to the home page.
Type "THE" in
and "BOY" in
Click "find"

The black smoke in the banner on the top of the page starts moving! (flash animation)
You will also see one of three images in the apology letter frame (to the right)




One of Michaels drawings for walt that he mailed, we see a sketch of New York and the Statue of Liberty. We also see another sketch of the Man in the Hospital that Michael made for Walt on his second birthday.
In between is a funny looking (ruler?) with Holes in it, and evidently another sketch under it.
If you look carefully you will see an insription next to the hospital drawing.. what does it say?
Huh?? 2003
3




We see a New York Ferry in the first sketch.
Just below it is a letter from Michael to Walt

Hey Walt,
How are you doing?
I am working on my recovery and
doing a lot of
artwork.
Hope you like this
card.
Miss You, hope you
are doing well.
Love, DAD

The address is to
WALT LLOYD
317 CHARETTE STREET
SYDNEY, NSW
AUSTRALIA

Now look below the letter.. another sketch.. Drilling contraption? (!)



Claires Oceanic Mail order ticket. Funny how some things seem to be missing, eh?


Next, go to the seating chart (you can go directly by refreshing the home page and clicking "find" since the "travellers" are now in order of Hurley's Numbers)

Theres a new button, "Preboard check-in" just under the seating chart. Click on it.
You will see "Ethan Rom" written. Re-arrange the letters to get Other-man (click and drag into the boxes)
You will see a short clip of Walt's abduction(!) Funny how this month's update seems to be Walt/Michael focused, huh?

ANOTHER UPDATE...

On the seating page, you can access Ana Lucia's seat by clicking the little flashing "f" next to the

"Economy Class
11-42"
(if you look you'll see the flashing F)

click on it, and voila!! Ana Lucia's seat pops up in 42F... click on it... and you'll see what sounds like a rollercoaster ride, and the tail section breaking off... then you'll get a little clip of Ana Lucia and Jack talking in the bar in the season 1 finale...

I know there are a few things I am missing... feel free to post the pics up - and add them to this post!!!

I hope this was helpful to all newbies... !!

THE FUCKING BEST "LOST" THEORY EVER!!!

I'm guessing this shit's the real story but if the authors of the famous drama series, Lost catch wind if it, I'd bet you they'll change the ending..

Taken from DharmaSecrets Link

first post ... stolen Roll Eyes

Hans O. discovered electromagnetism in 1820.

In 1999 the 'Oersted' satellite was launched with the purpose of charting Earth's magnetic field. The findings led scientists to believe that there might be a polar reversal imminent, the effects of which could be cataclysmic: if Earth were to lose its magnetosphere, it would be vulnerable to massive radiation from the space/sun. The satellite also revealed an anomaly in the magnetic field under South Africa; it is pointing the opposite direction from the rest of the Earth's field and has been growing for hundreds of years. Please Google this info. A similar idea was also used in the film 'The Core'.

Hannes Alfvén: His contribution to science - mainly in the field of electromagnetism - revolutionized how scientists view the universe, winning a Nobel Prize on the way. He spoke English, German, French, Russian, and some Spanish and Chinese; and studied oriental philosophy and religion. He spent time in the Fiji Islands. He was fascinated by the "green flash" - a phenomenon that sometimes occurs at sunset. By no coincidence (Green Lantern and Flash comic):



He also wrote fiction: The Great Computer: A Vision (1968) telling the story of computers taking over the world. Google "Hannes Alfvén".

Alfvén plus Hans O. equals Alvar Hanso.


The above outlines the reason for - and a means to control - the island...

Scientists, fearing the cataclysmic events of a polar reversal, prepared an environment for the survival of the human race. They either directly or indirectly engineered the kind of people who would make up a community fit for survival and propagation of a new world. In the main, this means characters without father/mother figures; and/or characters with skills for survival: a doctor, an engineer, a survivalist, a mercenary; and characters of sufficiently varied genetic background: african, caucasian, asian, etc. to ensure a healthy gene pool for generations.

Then on an island which already had a massive natural source of electromagnetism, they constructed an artificial magnetosphere, alluded to in Walt's/Hurley's comic:





to repel the deadly cosmic rays that Earth's magnetosphere used to repel. The hope was that the community could thrive, grow and, eventually, repopulate/recover the world.

The Dharma Initiative under Alvar Hanso (if both of these thing exist in the Lost reality - much of the Orientation film is red herrings for the 'survivors') used a technology based on remote viewing and electromagnetism to power this magnetosphere and to influence the lives of the future island candidates. As stated in another of my posts: every strange (and a lot of mundane) occurrences in Lost can be attributed to electromagnetism as wielded by the collective consciousness on the island (see "Enlightenment Theory"). When all the candidates were in place, i.e. on the plane, the collective consciousness knocked everyone out, brought it down, cryogenically preserved them, dismantled the plane (placing enough debris in the ocean to ensure an "everybody dead" verdict); years later, some plane debris was placed on the beach with the passengers and the scene was set to give the illusion that they had JUST crashed. Then the collective consciousness woke them up.





The joke/password about the snowmen is an allusion to being cryogenically frozen.

The collective consciousness is that group of scientists that became so totally absorbed into remote viewing and electromagnetism that they now operate on frequencies of electromagnetism (covering everything from light to sound) only. They can read minds as well as manipulate iron and other conductive material. Claire wondered why there was not one comb or hairbrush on the entire plane; the reason: the slight electrostatic charges that hairbrushing creates is interference for the collective consciousness.



Much of the Orientation film and what Desmond says is false and purely to ensure that our heroes press those bloody buttons every 108 minutes. The purpose is threefold: to provide a focus for the community - a reason to go on and something 'meaningful' that goes beyond rational decision-making; secondly, to protect the hatch/power-supply/scientists behind the concrete; and, thirdly, to download the information from the Oersted satellite as it orbits the Earth every 108 minutes (please Google this) to get the latest on the magnetic poles.


The collective consciousness messed with this bird's navigation (based on magnetism - birds have magnetite in their beaks)
Sayid tells Jack that either the compass is wrong or North has moved. In fact, North has moved.
Walt seems to become a knife-throwing expert. He isn't. The metal knife was guided by the collective consciousness in an attempt to bring him closer to Locke, who is the island's most faithful servant.

The presence of this ship is an indication that this island has always been known as a source of great magnetic power (the word "magnet" comes from "Magnesia" the land where the first black rock with powers of attraction was found). The location of this ship is an indication of the island's volcanic past - pushing the island higher - the ship is now inland. (Lava cools to form basalt; at the point basalt solidifies it takes on the same magnetic field as the surrounding location, thus providing information of the magnetic field's past.)

BF Skinner's dubious theories form the basis for the methods used by collective consciousness to socially engineer this 'utopia'. They are the voices in the trees, they are the visions, they are the black fog (metal in a magnetic field), the monster (mechanical, but designed to embody each survivor's personal fear). They use every psychological trick in his books to manipulate the survivors into forming a stable long-lasting community ON the island; and their means to this end are extensive.




The two images above are an explicit example of how the influence of the Dharma's collective consciousness has pervaded in the survivors' lives: notice the octagonal ceiling in both shots; and the metal balls in the second scene.




The opening shot of most episodes - the eye - establishes that this epsiode's main character will percieve what the collective consciousness wishes to show them. In this episode, Boone has an epiphanous vision courtesy of the collective consciousness and is later murdered with a falling plane!

Locke can walk now. Locke has no feeling in his legs. Locke's ability to walk is based on the collective consciousness' will. It makes him obedient. This level of obediency may be required of all the survivors eventually. His legs move because the collective consciousness allows those tiny electronic impulses from his brain via the spine to get through to muscles in his legs.

To summarize: our heroes never actually crashed; they are the future of mankind - the survivors of a cataclysmic polar event of which they are unaware; they are on the island to survive, procreate and repopulate the Earth. They are unaware of this plan which is sustained by a sophisticated collective consciousness and a group of scientists using electromagnetic power, and psychological techniques of reward and punishment.

Lost trivia

from dictionary.com:

Dharma =

"The principle or law that orders the universe"
"One of the basic, minute elements from which all things are made"

----------------------------------------------------

If you lay out the alphabet a=1, b=2 etc etc, then continue so 27=a, 28=b etc... you get this:


4: The 4th letter in the alphabet is D

8: The 8th letter in the alphabet is H

15: If you add 4 + 8 + 15, you get 27 which wraps back to A.

16: 4 + 8 + 15 = 27, and 4 + 8 + 15 + 16 = 43. 27 + 43 = 70 which gives you a R.

23: 16 + 23 = 39, which is M.

42: 4 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 23 = 66, and 23 + 42 = 65. 65 + 66 = 131 which is an A.

D H A R M A hmmmmmmmm


----------------------------------------------------------


Dr. Candle, in the film, said "the button must be pushed every 108 minutes. (108 = sum of all the numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42)


-----------------------------------------------------------

4 8 15 16 23 42

8 & 15 - 815 - The flightnumber of the plain from Australia to LAX.
16 - Jack, Kate and Charlie finds the pilot in the cockpit 16 hours after the crash (episode 101)
23 - There were 23 survivours from the back of the plain (episode 203)
42 - There were 42 surviviours from the front of the plain

----------------------------------------------------------------

Right now this theory is not my own. It has been posted on another forum, but I have no come across it on here before. And from reading a lot of posts on this GREAT site, I would love to hear all of your great LOST expertise on this theory.

Basically the theory is that the first time we see the hatch, when Desmond is getting ready and doing chiups and taking his medicine and the next time we see that scene. It is two different timelines or the first time we see it is a flashback from a while back.

From looking at both episodes "Man of Faith, Man of Science" and "Adrift" There do seem to be some inconcistencies between the station e.g. the record player is different in both episodes, as are the lamps, on both accounts there seems to be an old player and lamp and then a newer more modern player and lamp in the other episode. Plus there are some issues with cleanliness and general things.

Now I agree these COULD be continuit errors but if they are they are pretty huge ones, cos I mean the things that are wrong e.g. the record player are completley different between episdoes, anyway, There are links below to the images so you can make up your own minds.
I stil don't know what to think about this one.....

The Lamp:



The Record Player + Cabinet:



The Wall:


The Living Quarters:



So I put it to you, the LOST community to unravel this potential mystery, all thougts welcome.....

I have also heard when we see the stations interior for the first time we dont see the person face, it could actually be Kelvin and not Desmond. I dont now what the explosion would be? But that could explain why the ladder was broke, but I dont think this is true, just thought I would put it in.

Another PHP Script

Seeing as how the internet, for once, did not have the answers i needed, i wrote this little PHP Script...

If you need it, use it.. It'll help u a lot.. Cheers.

It's a ServerSide browser detection and info script... It's in php..

//assigns the HTTP_USER_AGENT Server Variable to a variable that we can access...
$HTTP_USER_AGENT_VARTHATWECANUSE = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

//displays all the info about the browser...
echo "$HTTP_USER_AGENT_VARTHATWECANUSE \n";

/*
Every browser, within the whole line of info about the browser, has a unique string that no other browser has....

eg...
For IE6:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; FDM)
For Firefox 1.07:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

Do u notice that there is a unique string between those lines of browser info?
For firefox, the unique string is Firefox (Case sensitive) and for IE it's MSIE(Case Sensitive)

From there, you can determine the browser by checking if such a string(Firefox or MSIE) exists within the line of browser info..
*/

//the following checks if a string(in this case, Firefox), exists within a variable($HTTP_USER_AGENT_VARTHATWECANUSE). If it does, it returns the character within the specified variable where the desired string starts at, which in lay man's terms means, IF THE STRING EXISTS, A NON FALSE VALUE IS RETURNED. If it does not exist, it will return a boolean value of FALSE. And if it does not exist, you can tell that that wasn't the browser you want.

if(!strpos($HTTP_USER_AGENT_VARTHATWECANUSE, "Firefox"))
DO NON FIREFOX STUFF HERE
else
DO EVERYTHING ELSE HERE

/*If you want, you can also do a strpos on the browser version number. Or, if you want you also be more specific and search for exact strings like Firefox/1.0.7 or MSIE 6.0

KUDOS to fusionate.blogspot.com's owner for this one... :p

//If you need more help, don hesitate to ask me..

Vin's Secret Spot

Attendees:
Dewycath (also was camerawoman)
Weiyee
Leatham
Vin's Brother
Vin's Son

from lorry gang:
Vin Tan
Gary Lim
BlueStream

Location:
Secret spot.

Time:
Whole Day.

Date:
5 Nov 2005

Caution: Events depicted are from Author's POV... Do add on ur own experience if i missed out anything..

Some parts EXtracted FROM FishingKaki.COM and LorryGang.blogspot.com

For me, the day started with a mad dash to the toilet after my alarm clock didn't go off.

I was supposed to meet the guys at 7.45 but i only woke up at 7.30. Let me tell you.. That was one of the fastest showers i ever had. So fast, that i wasn't fully awake even while on my "transport" to the spot.

Gary gave me a call at around 7.45. Told him i could make it down at bare minimum, 8.30. He said okay.

So I hopped on a taxi and headed down to Changi V. The uncle in the taxi laughed when i told him how late i was.

I reached there just in time though[8.20]. They had just bought some prawns from Gina. I went to buy my lunch(Super Duper Wan Ton Mee).

We headed down to the jetty to catch our ride. As with all my bumboat rides, it was customary that i stand at the back. :D

We reached Vin's spot at around 8.30 in the morning.

As always, Vin and I were the first to set up our rods and we both casted out in the same direction with our medium heavy tackle. Right in the middle. straught out to sea. Then I went to set up my next rod. My BC set with my new Cardiff 300.

Pretty soon, everyone had their rods(and handlines) set up, except Gary who was teaching dewycath how to ties rigs. I had three rods out, facing right, left and center....

Then we saw Vin's Brother walking to us, Ah Seng in hand(or on line).

Then Vin came forward with two keep nets. One for the "Good fish", and the other for the "Ugly/Bad/Hated/Unwanted/Ugly/Irritating/Ugly" fish. I don need to tell you where that sucker went.. [picture not included cuz it would be unfair to the tons of other ah seng that we also caught. favouritism is bad.]


While we were all talking about this "omen", another "omen" decided to show itself. Blasted rain.. We saw it about a few clicks away from us. Dark clouds.. Real dark clouds.. That's when Vin saw some Kim Kor near to where we were. He took his spool of light line and put a split shot on the line and tied it off with a super duper tiny hook and planted some bread(Gardenia if you must know), and let it fly.

Vin's son and Weiyee also decided to get it on the "action".

Then we heard it.. The sweet, beautiful sound of a ringing bell(Vin's bro didn't use a bell).

We all looked up and eagerly around trying to find out whose bell it was(which reminds me of my idea for diff pitched bells ).

Ding-ding... a bell rang again.. This time we caught sight of whose it was.

Leatham quickly got up and dashed to his rod's "aid".

He tightened the line and aimed his rod downwards and waited.

Wait for it. Wait for it.. STRIKE!!! We had a fish on!!

Then we saw this reddish object in the water. When it was near, we saw that it was a Red Snapper.

Pictures were taken and smiles were apparent on our faces. The earlier "omen" of that oh so Ugly/Bad/Hated/Unwanted/Ugly/Irritating/Ugly Ah Seng, and the rain (which never fully came, was drizzling oni) was now nullified.

Then, Vin's bro suddenly got up and went to check his rod, and held it at strike position.

Strike!!!

"Fish on bo?" we asked..

A quick head nod brought us to our feet, eager to see if yet another "omen" would appear as if to nullify Leatham's catch. We again saw a reddish object in the water... Another Red Snapper..

Our casts now had renewed vigour.. I don mind telling you, I had one "bee hoon" incident because of that vigor..


About ten minutes on, Vin landed a Kim Kor..[this picture included]

Half an hour had passed since Vin landed that Kim Kor.. Vin, his son, and Weiyee were still dolling around with their light lines and the Kim Kor when we saw dewycath holding her rod, a brand new virgin Cherrywood that she had won at the "FK Fun Fishing Day", in strike position. Strike!!!

After a short "struggle", a nice sized Gao Bu was landed. Congratulations to dewycath cause that was her first catch. Unfortunately, in all the excitement, we forgot to photo the photographer herself...

All I can say is sorry, but don worry cause there will be more catches.. My first catch ever was a Belukang.. lol..

Pretty soon after that, we heard another bell. This time it was my BC with the still virgin Cardiff.

Being the kiasu nut that i am, i "walked briskly" over to my rod and got ready to strike. When I felt the bite, I whacked the bugger upside down. Then just to be on the safe side, i striked again..

Boy was i disappointed that i went through all that trouble just to land, a catfish.. A species that i had caught before but knew nothing about, including it's name. Well I consoled myself that at least it wasn't a tiny one.

Some time had past now, Weiyee and Vin's Son had both by now landed a Kim Kor each.

My other light spinning rod(at the other end) began to get taps. I walked over and did my stuff and striked. Another Red Snapper..

Shortly after i had kept-netted the bugger and recasted out my tackle, i had some bites on my other, BC rod again...
Landed an Ah Seng..

Almost instantly after throwing the bugger in to the "Ugly/Bad/Hated/Unwanted/Ugly/Irritating/Ugly" keep net, my light rod began to "nod" again...

Yet another Ah Seng...

Anywayz, to cut the story short, well, shorter... We landed lotsa lotsa Sengs..

Remaining part of the CR:
All of us contributed to so many Ah Sengs that we probably could've fed a small family for like a week. Assuming they even liked eating it of course.
I landed another Red Snapper as did Leatham.
Vin's son landed a fish that apparently we all forgot what was called.
I landed ONE gurama.. That's right ONE...
Vin landed another Red Snapper... along with a bucket...
I caught a stingray, and regardles of how tiny it was, it "washed" my rod and reel of the catfish filth that would've otherwise cursed me and that rod for ever.. lol
Vin's bro got a orange spotted grouper.

Gary's medium-heavy duty rod a very nice take.
As did my rod with the medium heavy tackle.

Neither produced any fish... It was a hit and run as we explained it...


Some ppl who were at the spot with us also had some nice action. This guy's huge Surecatch reel suddenly took off.. BZZBZZBZZBZZ.. and his rod was bending back and forth like siao. Unfortunately, by the time he got to his rod, the fish had "left the building".

Also, I'd like to say that it was a little disturbing putting so many vader faces on the pix... I hereby vow to use another face next time..

We all had an interesting and fun time that day.

Thanks Vin.

Vin's son was busy catching crabs that swam to close.
And for me, I had a damn busy day. Running from rod to rod.. lol..
I also confirmed the fact that whenever i bring a light and heavy action rod, the light one will always have the action while the heavy action one only has a few, if any takes....

Cheers.

And here's to all those ppl who give up on spots because they only catch Ah Sengs. Among Ah Sengs may rest, erm, other better fish...








Hold on...

I've already posted a Catch Report on FishingKaki.com and am in the midst of converting it for this blog.

In the mean time, enjoy this...
