Hello Guyz,
Please find below the report for today’s misadventure….

So eir, bir, phattay and hum (MM, Tanny, my cousin & I) went out to fish this morning…. And as always we caught nothing… I wonder why this does not surprise me…..

Anyhow.. Really nice place discovered by MM…right in the middle of nowhere total wilderness…. Very quiet and peaceful…

We started our day early (for me 6 AM is very early)…. with a couple of cold ones (KF- pints and Can)… sat there waiting for something to happen… saw some action when we reached there, fish jumping in and out of water… Fish eagles trying to stalk the fish and one actually succeeded in picking something from the water… so this kept us on our toes… however we didn’t get too many bites.. I guess the bait was not tempting enough for the fish though we had a tough time stopping MM from eating the same :)…

Would humbly request all the fellow fishermen from NCR to please take us along with u guyz whenever u plan u r next trip as I m getting tired of sitting and not catching anything otherwise we would have to pay for Bopanna’s airfare and get him to Delhi to fish with us

Never mind the failure someone really gr8 once said… “A gem cannot be polished without friction and a man cannot be perfected without trials” (BTW that Gr8 one was me)…

Would keep u guyz posted for the next update…

All iz Well
SR

Damn!! You can blame the EAGLE this time. That bird must have scared all the fish away!!

Better luck next time Amigo.

SR,

Tell us where you were fishing? eg. Lake, river, etc.

What you used for bait? Worms, atta, etc.

What lines you used? .10, .20, .35, etc.

What size hooks you used? 22, 20, 18, etc (Size differs with brand)

What rods and reels you used? (or handlines)

Any ground bait?

Perhaps then we can give you some tips.

All the best on the next trip.

Regards,
Adolph.

Persevere! And it will happen.

Here are a few pointer when fishing new waters.

Try different set ups. If everyone has the same depth and bait, then all will either win or lose. You increase your chances is every one tries a different set up. Once you know which bait works and depth the fish are at, then get all the rods to shift.

Then spread out. It is of no use if all you guys fish from the same general area. The fish could be in some other part of the lake.

Fishing is not really a social activity. The more action on land the less in the water. So try and stay quiet and don't 'jump' around to much as fish feel the vibrations.

Hope this helps next time.

Very True.....

Trying a lot of different type of baits (Whatever comes to your mind) - worms, plain atta, bread paste, bread with vanilla etc etc etc.. Something or the other would work.... And when trying a new place good to use a lighter set up with lesser poundage monofilment line as it would be more invisible under water, (some fish are line shy - never know what is beneath the water).

Also try to ground bait the place say 30 min before starting to cast your lines...

Hope it works for you...keep trying just a matter of time buddy you would know the pond and its fish habbit.

Cheers,

Chris

Kidnapping Ken will be a much cheaper option.

There is always a "next time".

If you were to catch fish each and every time you go out, then none of the anglers will be going to work. They all will be out fishing daily.
Keep trying and your day will come.
All the best.

“A gem cannot be polished without friction and a man cannot be perfected without trials” - AND I thought Ninja Chacha said that

And ken is right...its time for you to sit quiet and make your boilies :)
I am thinking that I need a big box with sections to keep different baits for the next time...what say?

Hi Adolph,

We used DAM rod and reels...for line had firefox 5.8 kgs and .25 or .3 I think. Bait we used this time was atta (previous experience prompted us to stick to it this time...). I tried using spoon from the bank but soon gave up since it was bringing weeds with it every time (maybe due to the weight).
We had thought of using corn also this time...but SR forgot to bring that...anyways, for this place, next time, its going to be chicken liver, bread and egg, corn and atta + vanilla.

Regards - MM

Call it Chicken Liver Cake LOL

if this does not get the fish then I will just get in the water and kick them

MM

Now that you have shown respect to the fish, you WILL get one:!:

Location plzzzzzzz? This is the best part of fishing. When you catch them the adventure ends .

.


MM is talking about Sonia Vihar/Tronika/and further leading to 3rd thokar!

This place gets productive after the rains till end of winters!

Cheers!

SR..dont lose hope my friend..It took me 7 months to get my first MJ and the experience will be remembered for a life time..read my post in shore fishing. Keep the faith and keep on trying..

-Cheers

Regret for the late entry... I did tried the different depths... atta with and without turmeric...did some ground bait as well.... the exceptionally surprising factor was no bite at all and no bite means NO BITE.. seems like all the fish had mass migrated or were fasting for the day in rememberance of all their nears and dears hooked by IA members in past.

on ther other note..what type of fish , size and type can be expected at this location.?

thanks

The best option for you is ti ask the locals in they catch any fish there. Secondly, if you know of anyone who has been fishing there. Most importantly, if you see the fish there that means there is a fish.
Last but not the least you have to describe the location or with some pics and the vegetation. What sort of a water body it is? Still/flowing water ? After knowing all these factors we can only take a guess of what you could expect. Coz there are factors like overfishing/water condition/dynamite explosions etc etc.

Hope this helps.
