I will be bringing my car.. Can accomodate two mor persons..

Hi All Confirmed Participants in All India A.I. Angling Competition (Second Edition),

There is a proposal of hiring a Bus for all participants to go to Harihareshwar from Mumbai, so that we all can go together.

However, if we go in for a hired Bus, then there would be an extra cost of approx. INR 1000.00 (Rupees One Thousand only) per person, in addition to Rs. 1200.00 that you all have already paid for Lodging and Boarding at Harihareshwar.

Whether this proposal is acceptable or is not acceptable to you ?

You are requested to revert back immediately on this Forum, so that we could take appropriate decision. Please consider this as Urgent.

Regards,


Arun

Hi Arun,

I dont think it is worth coz not only the cost increases but there will also be wastage of time and we wont be able to reach Harihareshwar in decent time. It is Friday so everyone will finish their work according to their schedule and come. Rest it is upto the co-ordinators to decide.

Spoonangler.

I would not hesitate to go by bus or any other mode of transport.

Hi

I would like to Tag along with anyone of you from Mumbai.

Regards

William

That would be great.........

Hi ALi can you send the exact direction of this place?
Any way that would be great!
Best regards
Pierre

MSAA (Powai)
Saki Vihar Road.
Powai Lake, Mumbai.
400 072

You have to come inside Powai Garden.
The gate is situated opposit Gate no.II of Larson and Tubro, on Renassian Road (The road which goes from Powai to RA Road.)

You can give me a call when you reach Mumbai and I will direct the Taxi Guy...

Regards,

Ali.

Those who are taking their vehicles from Mumbai to Harihareshwar on 13th November 2009 are requested to mention the capacity of their respective vehicles (in terms of number of persons) and the names of persons who would be travelling in their vehicle. This would give us a spare capacity if any, in each vehicle and so we can accomodate those members who need a place in Convoy going to Harihareshwar Camp.

Please revert back before 7th November so that proper arrangement could be made for transport of all compititors.

Regards,


Arun

I request those members who have transffered their contributions directly from bank transfer to my bank account, to inform me on this forum immediately. This is required because in some cases I do not have details of their names.

Please revert back.

Regards,


Arun

Tato, Fred & madvento (Markus), I can accommodate one more... We will join you guys on the way somewhere near Vashi. Powai will be driving back in opposite direction.

Hi Alibhai,

You suggested all to carry a PVC Pipe for Surf and Beach Fishing. What should be the Diameter & length and should we make a knotch to rest the Rod on it? Kindly let me know.

Regards,


Arun

Proximatly 3 feet in length, tapered cut on one side and dia should be big enough to accomodate your rod handle...

Regards,

Ali,

Thanks very much Mr. Ali for the prompt feed back. I would make one as suggested.

Arun

Hi All,

This is to inform all I.A. members that we can not allow any one who are not listed in the confirmed list to join now for Harihareshwar camp.

Hey Guys,

Start Praying...

Regards,

Ali.

Hey Pranav,

Did you get the writeup...

Regards,

Ali.

I don't know what it is with me and Harihareshwar......... I was there last month......... left in clear weather.......... reached in clear weather......... reached the sea and it started raining torrentially, the sea got very rough and very dangerous............. and kept on raining till I was there....... I hope we get good conditions when we reach there.......... I am persistent.......... but a bit worried.

Ok Sanju,

lets see if the skies clear up if you are dropped.

Pierre, Wind guru is a great site. I use it here in Dubai, when I headout on boat.


To all the other Fishing Enthusiasts sulking at this moment...... "There's always next year"

Who knows, the typhoon is expected to hit Mumbai today & the skies just might clear up over the weekend. I'm sure the fish are gonna be hungry after that

Hi All,

We hope the Cyclone 'PHYAN' would subside and we get good weather on 14th Nov.

We shall definitely go as planned. In case we find the open sea rough, then we shall do fishing in Bancot Estuary. So start packing your tackle and get ready.

Cheers!


Arun

Arun thats a good backup plan if the weather stays bad the fish will move up the estuary cause they will have to feed since its also neaps goin into springs.

really good backup solution. anyway we will be fishing so what's could be better? lol. Maybe not to much rain.

Just received the news that in an event the competition gets washed-out, we can look forward to the following Special performances

"RAIN DANCE" by Tato which he intends to perform wearing his famous Lady on Fire Chaddis.
There will also be a song performance of raga malhar by Abbhi (Spoon).
And also a late night story by Fred about his big barra from outer rock (New just released version)...
Neil’s display of his six pack

Just confirmed calling my friend at Harihareshwar. The rain has stopped and the weather is getting better to quite an extent. So game on guys. Lets hope for the best.

Spoonangler.

The weather is almost normal near to Ratnagiri.. lets hope it gets better.
Abhi, I called Anil the poor guy lost his boat.

Durg weather was bad yesterday ... Finhunters anchor rope snapped at 430 am today morning and the boat went into the jetty .. cracked in 7 places ...... I have my doubts about this one guys

Poor Finhunter

Lets sleep on it today and will take a call tomorrow.

The worst is passed and the only thing to worry is heavy rain.

Lets wait and watch..

Regards,

Ali.

Weather is clear now and will be good by Saturday morning.
Santosh I know that Anil lost his boat. I had called him and his sister gave me the news. They were searching for it since early morning.
Sad to hear about the finhunter. There was one boat which was lost in the sea at durg. They tried searching for it a lot but couldnt find it. I need to check out today what is the situation. Majority of people at Malgund have suffered losses.

Spoonangler.
