INDIANANGLER

Hi Guys,
It's that time of year when we're waiting for the Mahseer season in the south to start. Atleast some of us will head to the river the first chance we get and I'm hoping to be one of the first to lead the charge.

I remember my last trip to Haira which was in Jan. Went off really well with a lot of fish considering the fact we were there only for 2 days.

This fish was caught on ragi, baitrunner fishing, late evening. The colouring of this fish was beautiful greenish/gold with orange fins. It was a really nice specimen and did give me a good fight but never really had me in a panic during the fight.

Regards,
Mighty Marlin.

Nice fish MM!

Bops

lovely fish MM

Nice shirt dude !!!!

This is really getting my goat /sheep /dog and evrything else ,,, im a religous salty but whenever i see something like this majestic fish .. the Indian Mahseer in all its glory ... nothing ive caught so far in the sea .. bar the barramundi ... is soooooooooooooo beautiful ,, majestic .. and reeks of such raw power in all pictures ive seen ..

i envy you guys in Blore having this in your backyard .... Rusty ,,, is this why you relocated ... if yes it was a good decision

Long life and good luck to all you guys doing the conservation at WASI . You can count on my help anytime you need something that I can do from my side ..

Hi almighty masheer,

Thats a very nice fish. I really envy you guys in banglore. You guys seem to have all the fun. By the way i wanted to ask a few qustions. how many days in a year do you fish for mahseer?where do you get the licence from?do you have to be a wasi member? How much would a trip cost you? a few sites i saw gave me a cost of a 1000 bucks a day for fishing only. Do you camp at the site? how many anglers are there with you? what is ragi?? does this bait work for rohu? It seems you have been to the andamans, tell us something about your trip. Hope to hear from you soon.

regards,
aamir.

Yes Mighty ,,, Salute to these beauties .... Tight lines

Ahem !!!

Who's lips and who's colour, Owen ??????

Doing my best mate...

This was a silver mahseer caught the previous evening. Again a nice specimen and I was dying for a golden Mahseer at the time. Luckily my wish came true the following day.
Caught the usual style, abu 10000, baitrunner, ragi with hing and not a very long wait.

You lucky So and So !
Black or white, silver, blue or gold, i would take the lot.

Lucky it would have been had Pratap landed that fish mate!
Getting the the rod back at Hiara should not be too difficult.
A lesson to be learnt guy's.
If sleepy, reel in, or you could find yourself kicking your own butt for the rest of your life.

This goes out to all you Mahseer anglers...

How the fluff do you guys manage to lift the fish and take some amazing pics like that.. Look at MM's picture,, the bugger is holding the fish as if it weighs nothing....

How the fluff do u guys do it ?????

Owen

Hey Bobster, be careful of Freddie

All in good time mate....

Too many people gunning for me

Gav,

I dont want to piss Fred off any more or he will have a sinper waiting when I get out of airport next month..

C'mon mate, am sure you can karate-fy his @#* ...

Regular " rebel without a cause "

Im off to Vijay Durg on 28th Morn and will be there till 2nd Oct ,, if youre leaving for Karwar on 30th then why dont we meet on 1st at Durg .. Ill PM you the directions

Hi Freddy,

I will arrive Bombay on 30th late evening about 2000 hours.

I may say at Vile Parle for the night or come over to Bandra, next day 1st I will have to pack all my gear for the trip. Besides I have to take off line from two big game reels and respool them etc etc. So the whole day will go doing that stuff.

As soon as I am done with that we will start the drive, so meeting up may be difficult at Vijay Durg unless you stay a day longer. In any case, I suggest you dont change your plans, you PM me the details and tell me what time you intend to leave Vijay Durg? we will see if we can catch up.
Does your Mobile work up there? or do you have a land telephone line?
I will be carrying my Satellite Phone with me so I will be able to contact you at any time, but I will not leave my Sat phone on all them time.

See what we can do.

Bob . trips resched ... in out 30th Morn and back 4th . So gimme a call when you get into Mumbai
