This trip we are enroute to our fishing kelong called Tiram Fishing & Resort which floats in the middle of Sungai Johor, off Sungai Layang.
That's the kelong's boat parking bay.......
Once entered the kelong, we report ourselves to the admin counter:
After we had finished checking in, we proceed to our room:
Each room consists of 2 single beds and one wall fan.
Now let's check out the kelong's facilities and their surroundings:
The kelong actually breed fishes in the cages and once big enough in size, they will be sold to the market.
Photos showing the fishes in cages and others.
The Kelong has a long and big jetty which can accommodate around 50-75 person fishing per time:
Views from outside our room...which we can actually fish from the walkway itself:

OK..now it's fishing time.....
Even my little princess also takes up her position to fish... hahaha...she's just 4 years plus old but definitely into the sport as well.
My wife making her fishing rounds:
If you're tired, no worries, there's resting hammock where my little princess took her nap after tiring fishing day:
Part of our bait consists of "live prawns" which the kelong provides and sold at 50cent per prawn.
Now come nightfall and we still continues our fishing challenges:
Author has caught a stingray or ikan pari and had released back to the river.

Now it's late around 1+ am and everyone's tired....but still has the fishing mood therefore resting on the hammock...while awaiting for fishes to bite our baits.
