INDIANANGLER

Hi to everyone,
last year fishing at chetuva,kerala.did fishing for a week only got catfish(catch and release, i dont eat it).
As local fisherman told due to putting stone wall, there will be no big fish here.(i dont know,may be of sound).
If anybody gone recently there,can you tell me if the wall is completed.i heard it will be around half kilometer.


rod - ugly stik, (near to 6 feet only)
line was thin orange color(dont know name),
weight was the heaviest later used bolt (because of losing).

Thanks.

they built it.

Hi Venesh,

Welcome to the forum. Yes I had fished here before and got a small grouper.Had a couple of hook ups but the fishes go and hide in the rock and the line gets cut. I have seen other anglers landing a small GT and a mangrove jack. This was about an year ago. As you said cat fish is the most common fish here. I have also caught one and seen other fisher men catching many catfishes. List time I saw one guy catching an eel too. I may go to try my luck here this weekend. Good to see the jetty in Gmaps. The earlier satellite image was very old and the jetty was missing.

All the best, tight lines

I visited the place again on March 29 and 31st. Due to family commitments could not be here before the high tide. I could not land any fishes on this trip. But had 5 hook ups. I think they were grouper or red snapper. As usual the fish took cover in the rocks and line got cut due to abrasion with rock or I had to cut the line.

One of the fish was big. Telling based on the run it made. I had high drag but the fished pulled out line with ease and took cover.

Bait was cut sardine. I also tried casting lures (Popper) but no luck with that.

Will visit again at end of April. Let me try my luck then.
