E-waves Fishbyte is organizing a deep sea fishing competition for all fishing kakis out there!

We hope that through this fishing competiton, we will be able to forge closer bonds amongst the anglers staying in Singapore (particularly the West side), and we also hope to promote deep sea fishing as a leisure sport for everyone!

In addition, knowledge of marine fishes that can be found in the waters for Singapore can also be exchanged among competitors! That's good, isn't it? At least you will be able to know what type of fish you're having for dinner... haha!

Lastly, we hope to raise awareness of the marine environment in Singapore, especially in the vicinity of the Southern Islands.
