Hi..
I have been staying in Udupi for almost a year now. I have noticed this thing that within the strip from Kundapura to Mangalore, many rivers meet the sea..
Will this place be good for fishing?? beacuse as far as seen, the water here is shallow.. And i seriously don't know anything about fishes, if they are found in delta..

Thanks..
Salman

This should be, where ever a river meets the sea, fishing in and around the place should be good.

Note: Please make an attempt to post to the correct section, this one should have been made to fishing locations.

Sorry Bobby, I'll make sure that next time i post it in the correct place.
Just was confused, coz delta is where the river meets the sea..!! so thought of posting it in coarse fishing section..

Take pictures and post man... It helps....

Hi Salman

are you still living in Udipi? reason I ask is I aim to hit it around Dec 3rd week.

Hello..
I'll be in udupi itself..
Hoping to meet you then ...

This is a venue that Scott and I were looking at after studying some satalite photo's. It looks very, very fishy with several large areas of flooded mangrove forest inland. Personally, I would be looking to either baitfish it with a running ledger type rig (a paternoster isn't great for rays and sandsharks) or adopt the usual night lure chucking tactics at the river mouth.

Any information that you can PM either of us about local accomodation would be greatfully recieved.

Hi Ken

bought the shimano teramar SE 15-30 spinning rod instead of the savage gear boner coz all tackle shops in the uk aren't keen on shipping to India. Hope you remember all the frantic PMs about the SG Boner, haha.

anyway, just spoke to Salman and barring an act of God or nature will be there last week of December. planning to take a penn 7' travel 3 PC 12-20 and a daiwa emblem 11' 15-30 surf rod, reels will be daiwa coastal 4000 and daiwa saltist 4500 spinning.

would appreciate any scraps of advice on rigs, tackle, bait, lures, night fishing, locations, the full monty in fact.

promise to send back a full report.

Cheers

Hey ken
will appericiate if you can put some light on Live Bait rigs......
what difference it will make if i rig live bait with a running ledger or paternoster?
and what type of rig you will advice me for Kuwait (middle east).
thanks in advance.

Hozefa, I'll send you a pic of the rig that I use for live baiting here in Dubai.

regards,
Keyur.

thanks keyur......
i will be waiting for the pic.....
one thing i wanted to know is how the running ledger / paternoster differ in their performance?
if you can explain me..........

Planning to visit Mangalore in month of Jan (towards the end).
My wife has a confrance and I will get time for some angling in day

Share experiance & location for fishing in Mangalore.. It will be of great help.

Hey fellows..was browsing through my laptop to free up some space, just got through these photos. Remember Tathagata saying me about posting pictures could help..so here are few..
they are not from the kundapura area, but these are of kaup beach, on the way to mangalore, approx 27 km from Udupi. I have never been for shore fishing, so i really don't know much about the locations and all..
but then here are the pics..hope i have resized them properly..















the last one of some river on the way to Agumbe, It was taken on the very first day of the rains that had created some fuss in k'taka, this very year..water level was high..and the pic is not very clear, was able to shoot from distance coz of rains..
well, bahot bore kar liya i gues..
N this time while posting I gues, guess, have made no mistakes..well, Booby is always there to guide me, hope he guides me for fishing too

Thanks folks..
hope this could be of some help
