it is one of those rare days when u get bite one after another...almost no time to rest.... caught 24 fish in 4 hours ....missed couple of them.... average size was around 800g.... mostly rohu... sometimes number of fish make u more happy than their size...

nothing happened for almost an hour...!!


action time


by end of the day


u can see 15 of them here...rest i gave to my helpers...

could feed a entire baraat with that catch.

what rigs are good for rohus? hair rigs?

Must have been one hell of a day. Great going mate. Love the lake.

Nice catch. Keep them coming.

Cheers,
Apoo

thanks ken and apoo , and vikram too for such wild imagination. it was seriously one hell of a busy day. i wish i could b this busy every time i go fishing.. .....this lake is situated in no mans land..... between india and bangladesh border....infact on the far side of the lake it is bangladesh....this adds up to the fun.... !!!!

what a game man, bishon bhaalo.....

Dude - Where you at in Kolkata?? And where is this place that u have made the haul from ?

gavin.....this place is around 65-70kms frm kolkata .....it is close to last train station of india at GADDE.....

You sure did have some fun friend. Nothing beats country side of west Bengal. Angling with a cup of cha and some boul music at a distance. Do keep us updated.

Nice catch buddy.
It was really a wonderful to see you catch such large number of fish in such a short time. What did you use as bait? Share your experiance with us.

dev , the bait was bread, ant eggs and leftover rice of rice beer....mixed together to make a soft dough.... dip it in rotten coconut residue before casting..... this bait is pretty effective for rohu and mrigal .....

Fluff ... if I have to take this fishing seriously then I gotta get me a "helper " to mix all these " concoctions " ... Powai yday gave me a dose of soem of the Sweet smelling baits but " rotten cocunut ... this I dont have the "ping Pongs " to smell ..

wowwwww
nice catch

fred , this coconut residue is one disgusting thing to handle..... the smell wont go off ur hand if u dont wash atleast 4-5 times .... sometimes i wonder how can we eat these fish which has liking for such disgusting stuff.....lol

aaahhh!!! we have had those days at the pump house!!!

Great going mate...
By the way where do you stay in cal???
Any chance of making a trip together?
That lake seems to be pretty promising...
Liked your ponnie...LOL (actually reminds me of my college dayz:(()

i m in krishnanagar at the moment...though i have a flat in dumdum too. saiki this lake holds no more fish ......as contract for the lake is changing hands...so all the fish r netted out....but if u r intrested we can always make a trip to siliguri for some mahseer fishing....MAY is best time for mahseer fishing....!!!!!

Count me in mate...
Anytime during may...lets fix up plans

Saiki

Great going mate.

Were u using weights with your RIGs? If yes what size.

Were u fishing with one rod???

What was the biggest Rahu/Mirgal

thanks shaphan.... i was fishing with 2 rods....bigeest was rohu weighin around 1.25kg......that was the biggest available in that lake..... i was using weight....it was a small spherical lead weight jus to hold the line tight ....my bait was little bigger than golf ball...with 4 hooks....local name for the set of hooks is (jhuppa).....hope fellow anglers frm bengal will understand wht i mean....

ahem!!
how many of u endorse a jhuppa?
isnt it just another form of foul hooking?

Aaron, don't start another controversy here. Enough has been said and debated on this topic.

You got PM rod n reels.

as u say sir!!
