Some guys like to fish for only half a day. When I still had my Mariner 10, I was not particularly averse to the idea&#8230;. till I got my Slayer 13. While an excellent craft on water (it really is excellent), it is a massive pain when on the land due to it&#8217;s weight. So I usually stay out as long as I can to make the effort of launching and recovery worth the effort.<\/p>\n<p>The new Slayer 10 is much lighter (one person can load it onto the roof of a car\/van without issue) but I already invested in my 13 with all the gadgets and DIY stuff (read as: LOTS OF TIME and EFFORT) and importantly, the Slayer 10 does not have an electronics console which means if I were to make the switch, I would be back to using Tupperware boxes for my switch panel. With the waterproofing issue on my console switch panel on the 13 (the waterproof boots for my switches are really shitty), the point is somewhat moot and I am back to contemplating on making the switch.<\/p>\n<p>When we were in the area to watch the fireworks only a month earlier (exactly a month actually), we found some interesting spots on our fish finders so we headed there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.singaporefishing.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20150201_113235-1024x576.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-large wp-image-2951 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.singaporefishing.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20150201_113235-640x360.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.singaporefishing.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20150201_113235-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.singaporefishing.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20150201_113235-290x163.jpg 290w, https:\/\/www.singaporefishing.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20150201_113235-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.singaporefishing.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20150201_113235-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.singaporefishing.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20150201_113235-98x55.jpg 98w, https:\/\/www.singaporefishing.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/20150201_113235-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a> By now, the wind and waves were picking up and drifting was becoming extremely messy and uncoordinated.
