INDIANANGLER

Hi , i am a 24 year old I.T engineer from Alleppey (born and brought up).

I love fishing but i am total noob at using actual tackle , i have only used the traditional hook and wire and stick

But recently i got a present from a friend who thought since i lived in the backwaters i could fish and gave me a complete set as a present.

Upon ripping it open (the present ) and googling i found out that my friend (who is also a complete noob) gifted me some expensive tackle that is used for heavy salt water fishing..(Caperlan - Advant power 80 reel, a Caperlan - Jigg start 5.5 Rod and some high quality line and a couple of spinners and floats and other lures..

I Looking forward to members and hope you guys offer me your wisdom and guidance to become a decent angler and make the best use of my tackle.

Welcome to IA.

Hi friend,
I am just curious to know what fish species live in allepey. I spent an entire day angling here. I couldn't catch a single fish.
One thing I found out was the bed was weedy snapping my line every time I casted.
Can you provide me with some local Intel about the fishes here so that I can select the right bait and casting technique?

Welcome to the forum.
You have a generous friend - and its all good kit too.
There's alot of guidance posted here, I hope some of it helps, personally I concentrated on the easier fish first!
