Those would like to survey the Bal Bhavan Pond, to start an Angling Club, for fish. Please make it conveinent to meet up with me between 6/10AM, tommorrow. My mobile 9880311086.

The Bal Bhavan sect. is enthu about it and the pond is in a secluded area, away from the prying eyes of the public.

hey bee!
where exactl do we have to meet up with u?
outside the bal bhavan gates at 6?

busy bee!

hey bangers..
wake up!!
this is a golden oppurtunity to start an angling club in the heart of the city

Bobby,

It was a pleasure to meet you finally.

Thanks to Aaron and Mr Raj being there and helping me come too.

The location is ideal – secluded, shady and closeby.

Now we have to see if the 0600am to 1000am only, is convenient for all.

The canal would definitely make more money from anglers…than the motor boat rides now. Could this be sectioned off and then we fish all day ?

Your idea of a one time Rs 3000.00 membership and then Rs100.00 per day is good.
And then 300 to 500 for nonmembers .
Only catch and release . So only serious anglers .And no overcrowding.

Please post the pics taken so we can get feedback from our other angler friends.

Jude

Look at Ulsoor lake guys-If you take over, will be a haven for bangers!

No offence but Rs 3000 membership won't work out for that place. Rs 1000 membership and Rs 100 per day is more like it.

Bops

Wouldn't mind paying the cash... Working out on moving to B'lore anyways..

Hey Gav, never pay cash for what you aint seen yet......

Dude - Bobbee and Jude have checked it out and I trust them. It wasn't about paying cash for something I haven't seen.. I just meant that 1k would be reasonable enough for the membership at any angling Club...

So when you moving?

Bobby,

where are the pics ?

Jude

Nothing sure as of yet... Planning on shifting jobs if works out, else will be taking over Bangalore as well as East... Depends on the moolah..
If I shift jobs then I will be located out of Chennai and will be handling most of South India, so travelling to Bangalore would not be a problem..

Lets see, got my fingers and toes crossed

Gavin,

It will be a great pleasure to have you down south.

What about papa ?

And what will U do for betki ?

Jude

Would be great to be there, mate.. My Old Man will be in Cal to keep the flag flying..

Guy's keep your sisters out of sight

Yeah mate
3000 is too much for a pond in Cubbon park, will settle for a 1000 as Bops recommended.
Should try out the Ulsoor lake and get in touch with those MEG guys, will try and get in touch with the guy who runs the boating club with MEG.
Presumably he has a tie up with them.

Go for it Bangers!
ulsoor lake has the potential to be developed into a world class carping area-yes, a lot of frustration and money and hardwork-if you stick to a pure catch and release-e.g as in UK, and about 5 years and 20lacs, should see you bang gang in throes of fishing ecstacy.Why dont all you guys meet up with the MEG authorities and figure out whats going on?Since you already have a WASI, why reinvent the wheel? WASI has done well in getting biggish stretches of Cauvery from the government...push hard enough and it should work!

Me become a good guy

Hi Bobbee,

I agree with Bops and the others that membership should be Rs.1000/- per angler and Rs.100/- per day for members and Rs.250/- for guests.

Catch and Release should be the way forward.

Will check out the water body the next time I am near Cubbon Park.

Cheers!

Sandeep

Sorree, I could not reply to you earlier. I should at the very outset appolize to Aaron and Arokia to keep them waiting that sunday for abt half an hour. I shold also thank Jude, Aaron and Arokia for comming and survey the pond. I had also promised Bops to drop of the pictures.

I was indisposed a few days as such the delay. I would suggest that instead of, some of you are just shooting off your bls, please do go and have a look at the pond. It is in the boating area of bal bhavan.

We could not catch anything as the water was very muddy, maybe due to the rains. But we did spot some tilapia and ripples on the far side.

Then we could take a positive action. Forget about Ulsoor lake etc. There is a very interesting article in today`s `Bangalore Mirror` about the dying lakes around Bangalore. Do read it.

COULD HAVE SOME SOME MORE OF YOU TIGHTLINERS , TO GO TO CUBBON PARK AND CHECK THE PLACE OUT AND LET ME HAVE YOUR COMMENTS.
I HAVE TO GET BACK TO THE SECT., BAL BHAVAN BY WEDNESDAY. YOUR VIEWS WILL BE OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE. THANKS.

Bobbee Sir - Round them up cattle and flog their behinds, if they dont wanna cooperate

Them youngsters of today are not like what that they used to be in the yesteryears
All software, no hardware

Hi, Gav! How you been? good to know that you will be coming south. In charge of what operations ??????????????

Hey Bobbee sir, me good !! Hopefully I might be down there if things work out.. Have got an offer but still negotiating costs..
Will be looking after "Human Resources" and "Satisfaction Index":twisted:

Just kidding.......

Will keep you posted .. Looks like I might become a "BONGER"

gavin.......

Hey Gavin, It will be good to have you as a Banger mate!!!
