Hey Yaj,

Welcome to the forum! I'm sure we'll change your status from "Wannabe Angler" to "Hooked for life" pretty soon.

Hi Yaj,

Welcome abroad.

Cheers,
Apoo

a warm welcome from a wannabe to a wannabe.. lets fish together some day to test our beginners luck .... and help Mahaseerken with some data for THE BAD CAST THEORY..

Hi Yaj,
Good place to start is with the "Bad Cast Theory". Comes naturally to most.
Welcome to the forum!
Regards
Owen

Hey Yaj,
Welcome aboard.

The trick about the bad cast theory is that you have to ignore it. Kinda like D. Adams Flying Theory - you can only do it when you aren't trying to do it.

Best of Luck mate

Thanks for the welcome guys!
Bad cast theory! Sounds like something I could excel at

Fred, where had you been mate?

Durg .... where else .. met up with Vishal , Henry and Dean and fished together

What did you get? PHOTOS please, suggest posting on another thread.

Hey yaj,... the pej river u mentioned in your other post sounds good.. but don’t know if it has good fish,.... other locations are near Kolad, river Kundalika (100 Kms from Chembur)... for salt; went to harihareshwar & bankot two weeks back.. amazing place, but got nothing.. Fred must be knowing a lot abt it.. fred, over to you..

Nothing much Bobster as we fished just 2 sessions , friday afternoon and Saturday morn as i had to be back in Mumbai for work ... some nice Mangrove jacks , couple of Reef Cod , lost a couple of nice Barrmundi .. and some grouper that went back inot the water ...but the icing on the cake was when I was casting a Halco roosta popper from the boat whilst trolling near some rugged coastline and had a GT take the popper in the wave just as it was cresting .. huge flash near the rocks ... and fish on ... gave me a real rush .... and memories of stalking the fish like in the old times at bandstand and Madh ... those were the days .. ive made up my mind that I will stalk the fish instead of just sitting on a boat trolling

Freddie - Hope u had a good time mate
Now get back to work... Start sending me mails, dude.. Long time, no laughs

I completely agree with you about stalking v/s trolling inshore. The satisfaction is completely something else after you hookup and land. Of course you cannot deny Trolling is more productive, I would do it one max 2 days on day on a 5 day trip. However I must say when you hookup into something like that cobia is something that must make it very tempting.

Freddy, have you tried berley in VDurg from the boat? Give it a go mate. I remember we were trolling offshore once and were not getting aything so we had some Bonito onboard that we had taken to rig and troll but they were far too many of them so we chopped them up and started tossing them over and withing half an hour we had some unbelievable action, so much that we got fed up and decided to move to another place.

Too bad with the Barra's mate...would have been nice..

With the amount of Groupers im throwing back ... looks like I found my berley .. will try it next time ... how far out were you fishing off VJdurg

This was off Shrivardan 4 hours our maybe about 25 - 30 NM

Thats nearly 50 Kms Bob ... you had youre own seaplane ???

Chasing Blacks mate...

Next time your down we gotta go out together .. and ill bring my camera ... it works and the weighing scale ... its accurate

No worries Fred anytime on me....you could have come the last time with me mate only problem was space in the car from Bombay. The back was filled with gear believe it or not.

Hey that river Kundalika sounds good ,know any good spots along that river?.
I had been to a resort on that river 2-3 years back,there were plenty of fish there.It was during the monsoons but a guy who worked there told me that he fishes regularly on those waters.Said the water was clear during the winter and you could see the fish clearly and cast for them.
The Karjat spot I'm still checking out will let you know if anything promising turns up.
Yaj.

hi yaj,

as u said resort.. was it Doctor's Farm ???? .. they do have a nice location, the river flows touching it (they hv a boating facility too) the river is very calm & deep at the location.. there are many good spots (off mumbai-goa highway), ...way to bhira dam should be good, (after Kolad Market on the SH 60)...... my number is 9967366777.. lets plan something..

Santosh

Actually Doctor's farm was not available that day so we went to Sharma's farm marketed as "River Wild" I think.
Cool I'll call you and we'll plan something. My no: 9867837681
Yaj.

my carpenter is from sutar wadi (near sharma's farm), we will ask his bro-in-law staying there to guide us to the best spot on kundalica river...

Fish in Kundalica:- rohu, catla, tilapia, Murrel.

Hi Yaj,
