Hey Bobster

Some of the old pics that i found .. just got them scanned .. picture quality is a bit bad as they are old and faded a bit ....

Daughter hooked and landed this with my help ....she was just 9 years old .. what a thrill she had and couldnt stop talking about it



This was another one on the same trip


My largest Ravas 23 lbs ..at Madh incoming tide ... 35 minutes fight ...


One of my first Barramundi around 15 lbs ... Bandstand ( outer rock )



Another barra ....12 lbs .. daughter on the left .. guess she picked up the fishing habit then


My largest barra till date ... weighed in at 57 lbs ... caught at bandstand ( outer rock )



Another early Barra ... 22 lbs



Bob have some pictures of you too ... trying to see if i can get them scanned as they are too faded and might not be clear at all

FANTASTIC PICS, AMIGO !!!

Fred, to me the Barramundi is probably the most beautiful fish i have seen pictures of. I have some news magazines from Australia that Glenn Todd sent me, there is a picture of a barra on the cover that i just can't forget.
Nice pix mate
Regards
Owen

Great Stuff Fred..pity we did not have digis in those days, I am sure there are a lot more that did not get a chance to smile for the camera.

I have got some old ones that I will scan, like that Gobra. Where was that one taken..

Now the guy in those pics is more like the Freddy I knew

PS Gavin some of those fish weigh more than you do matey!

But not quite as tasty

Another reason why I use booze as groundbait.. Need them buggers sozzled

Brilliant stuff fred !! specailly that Ravas at Madh,
still to hook up with the big one here in Goa. Planning the kawar trip end of March let me know if u can make it
cheers
Dean

My brochure guys just scanned some more .... their getting pissed off on me but what the fluff

Some more

mangrove Jack at Sequerium near the jail



GT Action in 25 minutes at Durg on my first trip in 2001



Rawas late after noon behind searock .. bobster , remember the rod ??!!!



Nice 12 lb Barr going under the block .... fluff i look like Gav in this picture



Another Barra 10 lbs ... late after noon


Float Fishing at Madh when the fish were not feeding ... Just some kinda fish that congregate together




35 lbs barra ... i think the last one I caught at Bandstand 3 years ago was around 3 feet .. look at the tiles as each tile was around 14 inches


Some more old scans coming up ... once i get the guys to scan them !!!!

Whoa! Fred Go easy on the Barras mate. Great pictures! And I thought there were no fish to catch off the coast of Bombay. I used to do atleast 10 trips a month there. The only things I ever caught were a small catfish (off Marine Drive) and a Bugger trying to nick my umbrella.

Mmmmmmmmm Gavin, now you know what you will look like when you grow up

Don't wanna look like him but give me his job anytime

Freddie - Nice pics.. I think u can start a new thread with your photo albums.. You cna have an Image Gallery all to your self..

Hey Dean Count me in on the Karwar trip . Ill fly into Goa .. but gimme the dates as soon as you finalise so that I can plan my life with this fluffing job that I have to juggle my dates in advance

LOL

Fred
U making me kick my self blue and green .. with all those Barras and ravas caught at bandstand .. and I having lived the last 15 years on bandstand !! ... a cast away from u ..
I am working on the kawar scene .. getting a boat is the tough part .. will let u know
cheers
Dean

Nice to see another Bangalorean on board. Please post a brief introduction under the Introductions section.

Cheers
Bopanna

Hi there
Bopana
I got to this site after an article in TOI abt an angling club being formed at Lalbagh lake thro horticulture dept, thats how I got to indian angler.com. I am going to pursue that matter so thats its actually formed, it will be great for fellow bangaloraens t find something in the city at last.
Also found an old friend after 20odd years
will do the intro shortly
cheers

yes fred that was a donation to the fred foundation .it lasted only for three days , the sections are buried in sanu s garden

hope you erected a cross on top of that grave Kamlaker or it may wake up to haunt you at night or Freddy...

Kamlaker, there was a Rod I was going to give Freddy, you can have it now, pick it up on your way back from India..

Rao .. I dont know what you tried doing with it mate ... was supposed to be used for fishing .. not casting out cannon balls ... U in India then come on over and ill give u a new one ....

Hey Fred, just take the guy fishing behind Searock for Ol' times sake

If i can find the bloke or if he can find me .... Hey Rao ... gimme a call if youre down in Mumbai .... we will go to Searock to see the couples .... fishing is a waste of time there now

Careful, you may meet Amir Salman and his Gaff..

The one without the Hook

Yes I know about the story about his other "happy" habbits and "that" Gaff

But do you know the story about the Gaff and what happened on the wall behind Sea Rock and the men from UP?

Hi Kamlaker,

If you do not take a Rod and Freddy is bluffing, there is a new 2 pce 10ft rod available you can use. But return it back in good condition as I have given it to someone..

Maria will be in Bombay on the 15th so maybe I could organise another rod for you if you can wait that you can keep or you could take that one and I will replace it after the 15th.

Regards,

Bobby

Cmon Kamlakar ... lets go fish .... rods are not a problem now that they were then .... now we can just order them of the net .. not like old times when we had to "source" one from an angler and then try to con him to sell it
