guys what are the likely species i can expect to target from a jetty and near docking areas in the gopalpur port ( bay of bengal) ? i have seen locals hand lining with what seemed like 100 lb mono using tiger prawns for something called "bhetki". i on the other hand will be running 19 lb mono with a 30 lb fluro leader and using lures.
i need basic info on the species i can expect to find in the surf and pier area's. i also have a large lagoon in which i can try my dubious skill. but i need to know what i can expect to run into.
these are what i expect.
1) cudas
2) mjs
3) dog fish
4 ) ....

You can expect these species. I have taken the pics early in the morning when the fishermen came with their bounty.









I dont have any idea regarding their names.

Doc, you got a pm

You can imagine the size from the footprints on the sands.

one looks a lot like a trevally and others i would hazard to say seem like mackerel/tunnies.
thanks ! this is like a shot in the arm and i am going to go all out. seems like i need some roosta poppers

u are right. these guys (locals) fish around .5 to 1 km offshore and do bring back these beauties on handlines . the last time i had gone to the port i evinced much interest as the loco trying to fish with lure and a piss ant 15 lb line.
however they are really in the loop as far as knowing where to fish and for what goes. am headed to the port 2morrow to see if i cant get a bite or two.here is the selection of lures i have
1) swim shads
2) rapala x-rap
3) rapala floating mag
4) daiwa chugger minnow
5) yo zuri crystal minnow
6) small poppers
7) spoons
what do u think should be the weap-- err lure of choice?
