Nice Fish mate

Nice fish Derek,

Its interesting because we call the buggers with orange fins 'Golden Mahseer' and the fish with grey/blueish fins 'Silver mahseer'.

That fish def has a golden sheen. Interesting fish....

Mighty Marlin.

Nice fish....did you get to weigh him?..
Belli

By the looks of it... Guess should be a couple of pounds...

I didnt weigh him but guess he should have been 3 - 4 Lbs I guess

As MM says an interesting fish.
Gold with blue fins, rather rare!
Good one Derek

Id love something like that in my tank

Bugger off Fred!
No Mahseer for you

Hey Owen,

Have a look at that fish again...... does 'copper' ring any bells. Can't hep checking that fish out again.

Mighty Marlin.

I promise id let the guy go once he grew big than the tank

Copper rings many bells for me this year MM.
As you said earlier it depends on the sun reflection off the fish.
But this one is light coloured at the bottom, while the one the rusky is holding is bronze all overwith blue fins, and the one that Robby is holding was copper on top with orange fins.
Three distinctly different colourations !
Posting the links again for a comparison

Rusky

Am not going to comment on the last pics

But bloody nice fish though..

Hi Derek,

You mentioned catching the fish on a soft plastic lure. Could you post a pic of that lure?

Bops

They work really nice and I have the sinking types, I cast wait for it to sink and start spinning.

The lure looks like a fish unlike the plugs and it feels like a fish. Hang on acutally I have my tackle box inthe car, will get it out and post it on

Bops here it is





The second ones are the ones I use for fishing Masheer

Hi Derek,

Thanks for the pics. Good stuff.

Bops

Hi Derek,

I've used these while I was out sea fishing.... the very same as the top 2 in your first picture. We called them 'one cast wonders'.... got a strike on every cast and they came back without their tails

No reason why they shouldn't work for Mahseer and you've just proved that. I have some 6" fish that I'll try this season. Will keep you posted on what happens.

Regards,
Mighty Marlin.

Owen,

Can you send me a larger picture of that blue-finned Mahseer.

Bobby

Hi Bobster,
I have 2, one with the russians in March 2006, and the other of me alone in June this year. Send you both on Jorell

Owen

Thanks Owen
