Wyseow Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 So far haven't heard any one mention about the place. Any one has been there recently and care about to share their experiences.Thought of going there at least once.as a reefer I think this is the place where there might want to know more.

SRC Member Midman Posted February 23, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted February 23, 2004 I have been to Ubin few times oledi.....but not to Chek Jawa just by the jetty to catch some small fish for my lionfish during low tide..hehee did saw sea cucumber, sea urchin, sea fan, anemones, tube anemones and many more. Seeing is more believing.... WARNING!! Do not take them unless you are ready to lose your other precious stuff in your tank....not worth!! .... hahaha the point is we are responsible to protect all this creatures from vanishing. Those interested to see..can follow me the next time I go for my small fish hunting. Take note it must depend on the tide. A good family outing for muddy bathing ..hahaha Please PM me for those interested to tag along and please leave your contact no and name. I will let you all know when it is the right time to go hunting. Do bring along your digital camera...hehee to take my photo in action ok.........kehkehkeh Normally I would prefer to go on Saturday between 3-5pm. Grab your chance hehehe Cya all folks!!

SRC Member Midman Posted February 24, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted February 24, 2004 I'm not a qualified tour guide just happen that I saw those stuff while hunting for my lionfish food ....so if you guys feel like joining that will be better...the more the merrier...hahhaa...don't worry it's safe for children too unless they are those hyper-active then I suggest have them tied down to one of the mangrove tree there ...hahaa..just kidding ...what I mean is watched them as the stone there could be slippery .....btw for those who are unsure where this chek jawa is...it is at Ubin Island just 15 min boat ride from Changi jetty. Will guide those who are unsure of getting there....take this chance ...kehkehkeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Tang Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Please wear booties. There are creatures which could cause a lot of hurt. Stonefishes, sea urchins, sea snakes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member maKo Posted February 25, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted February 25, 2004 Did I see....sea sn*kes!? I would love a sea krait. I did see sea snakes before at Ubin. But luckily not at CJ area lah. It was at the broken jetty at the northern beach. CJ should only go at low tide, otherwise cannot sea much. The crowd that used to trample all over the place has since disappeared.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Midman Posted February 25, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted February 25, 2004 Not to worry much abt the sea snakes k... they normally will shy away or attack when they are being provoke.I did have close encounter with sea snakes side by side while going for my diving at Changi beach and net casting..it got trapped into my net so I just let it crawl away...what AT says is true get a booties to be safe....as for me I'm used to the muddy area cos that is the way to get worms for fishing bait....hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I broke the world's high jump record that day. Too bad no official was there to record it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinehobbist Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I was in Chek Jawa last Thursday during super low tide at 3.30pm with a guided tour. Saw lots of carpet anemones, fan worms, a very large knobbing seastar about 12 inches in diameter, rock fishes, crabs and snails. Quite worth the trip to take a look see.
