Marble Goby Sashimi Breakfast at New Zealand River Restaurant
Uncle Wong, Kuan, Addy and I set out at the usual time to the usual secret spot. But Jimmy, Harvey and Eddie were already there ready for action.
It was a bit slow in the early dawn. Then the situation changed when the sun was just above the horizon. The water was filled with non-stop action as the peacock basses chased their prey. I couldn’t make out what it was. Uncle Wong said they were after shrimps. So I tied a transparent shrimp fly on the end of the tippet and wham! A good size Peacock Bass was hooked at the end of the line. It got away before I could land it for a photo.
Jimmy, Harvey and Eddie was landing Peacock Bass after Peacock Bass. Their hands must be really tired. I had the usual hits and landed another good size Peacock Bass for a photo shoot with my new Hardy Bougle Lightweight III fly reel and my old Jas Gordon Bamboo Rod. Jimmy rated it a #3 weight after testing it. Kuan said I could try a #2 weight if I aerialise more lines.
Uncle Wong went to the small shallow stream and caught a Marble Goby. Marble Gobies are rare catches on a fly. But as we all know, Uncle Wong had caught the most rare fish of them here in New Zealand River.
And to everybody's horror !!!!!
He ate the fish as Sashimi for breakfast.
Joking only lah.
Then again Wanton Mee at Ah Hoe’s place with Uncle Wong, Ady, Kuan, Jimmy, Harvey and Eddie.
Beautiful morning and fantastic fishing with great fishermen. I am indeed lucky to have so many friends to fish with me. Thank you guys.
Marble Goby(Oxyeleotris Marmorata) caught on Uncle Wong’s lethal fly.

I thought marble goby can only be found in South East Asia rivers/ lakes. What a new fact, that you fish it in New Zealand.... There are plenty of them here at my place Perlis, and the angler lovers also enjoy catching 'puyu' fish at paddy field or water cannal/rivers as well as Timah Tasoh lake...
ops, now I realize,it is New Zealand River Restaurant, sorry sir...
