Two anglers from Endau face crashing waves in search of stingray, grouper and glory

A typical surf fishing set-up: the terminal rig paired with a wreck anchor sinker, designed to hold the bait firmly in place against strong coastal currents.

The man stood in ankle-deep water at the shoreline with a long rod and then hurled his line into the sea.

He placed the rod into a holder that had been stuck into the wet beach sand. Then, he waited – for the fish to bite.
