I Caught This Beautiful Fish Off of the Pier | Lagoon Shrimpgoby | Singapore Fishing 🇸🇬

Is Bedok Jetty the best multispecies fishing spot on earth? I don't know about earth, but it's certainly the best single spot in Singapore. While I fished this pier rather heavily last summer, I knew there were still many new species to be caught. This outing wasn't all about chasing that new species, but just fishing and having some fun. If a new species were to show up, that would just be a bonus. Well the bonus was had at the end when a lagoon shrimpgoby (Cryptocentrus cyanotaenia) came up off of the bottom. This beautiful little fish was my lone new species of the day and what a gorgeous species it was.

Love that shrimpgoby and those filefish. What a great trip!
What resources are you using for id work on these Asian fish?

[@TheFishingNomad]

Thank you. The shrimp goby was my favorite.
My main resource is Jiayuan (instagram.com/sgmultispeciesfishing?igsh=MWhtdmQ4bjhxZW10cg==), he really knows his stuff. I also use Reef Fish Identification Tropical Pacific (www.amazon.com/Reef-Fish-Identification-Tropical-Pacific/dp/1878348604/ref=asc_df_1878348604/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693363595110&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17706573622032539579&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9051808&hvtargid=pla-385375025167&psc=1&mcid=90157ff87d593bd48bb41bfe101cba67&gad_source=1). It's a solid book, but still missing many species.

@@johnaufderheide6117 It's well worth it. Probably the best country for multispecies fishing out there. It's so small, but has so many species. Where are you from?

[@TheFishingNomad]

@@BANDITFISHING Yup, he's helped me a lot with fishing in Singapore and IDs from all over the Indo-Pacific as well. he knows his stuff.
