Sunday fishing and Cabela Shopping

I head out for another weekend fishing trip to Marshal Creek at 6am in the morning last Sunday (yesterday). This time I'm sure I am going to catch my first Bass cause its a known fact that fishes like to swim inear the surface of the cool early morning water. Its summer right now and only time the water is ever cooler is the early period of sun rise when the water have not been expose to the the strong day time heat since dusk 6 hours ago.

Either the summer was just too hot to allow the river to cool significantly or I am just not lucky enough on Sunday. A side from the sensation of fish bitting away at the "PowerBaits" plastic worms, and numerous fish poping up the surface right before my eyes, I caught nothing at all for this trip and lost 1 Spinner Baits (the US$1 I got from Wal-mart). Same goes for Siew Siew who see score zero for this fishing trip. You Cai was pretty satisfied with his palm size catch late into our fishing trip. It was the only catch of the day and was safely release back into the while, surviving another day in the hands of the Angler and probably growing to 20inch long in months to come.

Its so small, you hardly see the fish in the pics.

We headed down to Cabela "The World Foremost Outfitter", a huge outdoor sports shop where you can find anythings on Fishing, Hunting, Archery, Water Sports, Camping...anything that Americans need to get to satisfy their crave for the outdoor life. Americans LOVE the outdoors, this super store is just one of the many around USA that stock up outdoor stuff. Others name I can remember of are SportsMan Warehouse, Sports Authourity, Academy, OutdoorsMan warehouse.




I really went "WOW" and "WILD" when I entered Cabela, just look at the size of it! Its like the size of Suntec City's Carrefour. And besides shopping, they got a walkthrough Aquarium, A mini Gun Museum, Hunting Museum with those signiture Dead Animal head hanging on the wall and a life like replica of the different forest with really cool looking, man-made, popularly hunted animals displayed in natural poses. This store consist of different zones related to outdoor life, the fishing zone, archery zone, hunting zone, clothings, Guns and rifles.

This is truly a place where you can't afford to window shop cause there is surely something for to buy. Lets put it this way, people are travelling miles away just to get to this store located away from cities and towns. Absolutely cannot go home empty handed. I spend a modest US$18 on fishing lures and lines. Could have spend more to buy a bow, some arrows, a rifle and a Glock pistol if I lost my shopping discipline.

Highlight of the day was the 1.oopm Bass feeding session. Althought I did not catch any Bass today, it was really fun to watch the Cabela's Staff diving into the Aquarium and feeding this fierce fish with goldfish. Watching him releasing the goldfish one by one and letting those bass chase after that poor thing really make the kids right here all excited and chatty about it. Man....those Ang Mo kids really went through a LIVE lesson on preys and predators...poor Goldfish, living their moments in chases and ending in the mouth of the Bass, probably still alive, for a few seconds.

Don't mess around with this fierce fish, except with your fishing rods.
