Nice Sting Ray Mr. Rajat.

Dada this was one great fishing weekend. Next time will remember to re-check my gear and terminal tackle before packing them.

Hey Mr. Rajat,
Som small questions if you dont mind pls
Which tide did you catch?
Wat bait did u use to catch the Sting Ray?
How far did u cast? did u get into the water, go further 50meters in waste height water and then cast or just a plain surf cast from the shore?
Did u cast ahead of the last breakers or did u cast somwhere between the breakers near shore?
Were u casting on the rip Current?
Most of the pics were in the dark so how did u manage to identify Ur casting spots in the dark? or did u mark the spot in day light?
I am a newbie to surf fishing Ur answers will really help me in my next surf fishing trip.


I really liked the accomodations. Really must hav felt good like a true fishing trip. Nothing can be better than being out of Bombay away from the pollutions.
Cheerzzzzzzzzz Mr. Rajat for the nice catch.
Regards
Ralph

Big cheers and congratulatios to the team, specially to Harshal..

Some very nice catches..

Keep it up..

Regards,

Ali.

Dada Solid Trip report. Like the fishes and the location. I really hope we make ati least one trip with you guys when i am down on vacations.

@ Ralph: Stings rays take almost every bait from stripped sardine, squid, shrimps etc... the juveniles lurk in shallow waters as good as 1 feet deep. yes 1 feet. the larger one prefer slightly deeper pools they scoop their bait instead of striking. I have seen them taken during late morning hours and the waters should be comparatively calmer. NOW THESE ARE PURELY MY OBSERVATIONS.

Hook a sting ray once and then you know what tug of war is..

DeZZ

Congrats rajat..

I liked the name SWAT.. hope to fish with the team some day. BTW, the place looks nice.. :))

Mr. Rajat: Some really nice catches there. Congrats to SWAT :)

Wonderful Rajat!!

Congrats on the great trip u all had. And one realy nice post to read with all the beautifull pics and much more beautifull fishes. Specialy the MJ (3rd pic from top) with a physcotic look on its face reminds me of ...........

Thank you Mr. Rajat.
Thank you for spending time to answer my queries
Your Valuable information will help me in my next coming trip.

One question did u go bare foot in the water or wearing som kind of footwear?, coz last time i was surf fishing i went bare foot.

A fact always remains that wen u are aware about the dangers u fear more. I remember playing in the water fearless wen i never knew there were such dangerous fishes down. but now i fear more than wen i was a kid.

Very nice pictures. The SWOT analysis of SWAT to get fish is excellent.

hi ralph, vodka as painkiller? internal or external? please enlighten me!

Congrats to Rajatda and team for the fish caught. Thnks for sharing the pics and happy fishing.

Thanks guys .Abhi long time we have not gone out fishing lets plan some thing soon

Sure dada. Will plan something and let u know.

Recently Amit a New SWAT member from Alibaugh caught this magnificent Gobra weight 22 Lb kudos to him to be able to tackle this brute on the rod and reel he uses and land it too congrats mate keep it up
