Selama, Perak...Udang Galah and Haruan hunt

Was invited by Charlie to drop by his in-laws place...been a good year or so since my last haruan hunting there.

This trip of course, was a little different...target: Udang Galah! Never tried it before, but am hooked now...

Arrived evening on Saturday, Charlie had the petrol for his boat ready and supplies set up...off we went to Din's place, Din, being the nice fellow who houses the boat at his house, next to one of the river's feeder streams.

Beginners luck was probably to blame for my early catch, landed a few moments after our first stop...a decent sized specimen too...
Alas, that was to be our only catch for the rest of that day. The water wasnt particularly good for prawning, but my host was determined to show me a good time...

I tried insisting that I was already quite satisfied with my first ever Udang Galah and the serenity of the river itself...he wouldnt hear it tho...heh.

7:00AM following day: Breakfast and stocking up on foods for lunch. Todays catch wasnt particularly good, but damn! the river in the early AM sure is a beautiful sight. Comin back at 3PM, only a short half-hour break before we were out again...this time for the elusive Haruan!...It was kind of a last minute decision to go for the snake-heads by the bro-in-law, but pooped as we were, we werent gonna say no!
Nothing spectacular on the Haruan hunt, with me losing 2 hook-ups and landing a 6-incher...i had to let it go...lest it was eaten by the bait :P ...the others had some better luck...

Catch total: 3 prawns, 5 haruans...Charlies momma-in-law cooked up a nice little gulai with the prawns and fried the snake-heads...uber yummy stuff!!!Will be back for sure!
