Caught 8 of These.



Uploaded with

Bait fishing was done by Lion, Damian & Lloyd. Two Groupers lost one by Lloyd and one by Lion. Both were close but not close enough to gaff and they got lucky.


And one on lure By me

Blubber Lip or Maori Snapper. Well done Mario. Did you catch any larger that that size?

Nice Stuff.

Thanks Bobby, Raj.

Yes Bobby i did catch some thing a bit bigger. Some thing just went wrong with my PICS will post the pic soon .

Hello Mario,

What rod/reel combination is that (in main picture) ? Seems different from
your beach outfit of Ugly Stik and Penn reel that you had originally.

Secondly, when you are rock fishing, is there any danger of large waves
in that locality to watch out for?

Waiting for your new pictures.

Mario with the +3kg Barra

Hello Mario,

Sorry about the confusion in the photograph.

It may be advisable to wear a PFD (personal
flotation device) when fishing in such locales.
We lose several anglers in Australia each year from the rocks.

That is a lovely barra - wish you many more!

Regards,
Kingfish

Hi Kingfish,

The Wave power in Australia is a lot more that what it is around the Konkan/Bombay area, I have fished around Sydney and that is the first thing that caught me, while the wave power and currents are not what you would call weak in and around Bombay it is a lot stronger in Australia. I even got my thumb impaled on one of the trebles fishing around Bondi due to the waves there but that is another story .

We do get a few of those freak waves in India as well and they seem to be at their strongest end April onwards and through the monsoons.

Regards,

Bobby

What A Catch Mario thats a very sexy tailed barra

Did you really catch it on lure ??? Cause I think you just dived in the water, gave him a knockout punch and dragged him ashore and here is the broken jaw as evidence

Well noticed Lion

it was not my punch that broke the jaw but my blade . Had to do that, two hooks from the single treble were deeply hoked in the jaw .
I tried to remove them with my pliers but didnt work.

Hey Mario Come on Now !!! you have to admit , the Grouper that I lost before Gaffing was a lot lot bigger than your barra as we all saw its ugly big mouth wide open !! if Only that

lucky Basket had not fled away after seeing our Umipre , I would have fried his butt by now

This time i and Lloyad decided to do some bait fishing. Lloyad got one Snapper and a big cat. And i bagged two Snappers.

Ravi

Nice catch

Thanks guys for your compliments and wishes

Congrats Mario nice catch keep it up mate

Congrats buddy Good catch..All the best for the big babies..

Great, really some memorable catches. Hertiest congratulations.

Just one tip.. , Take the picture of the fish beside the water body itself (Though take care that no landmarks are visible so as to protect your spot ). The photo of alive fish is more appriciable and beautiful.

Regards,

Ali.

PS. I know, i know, these catches are from the night but still..

And yes, I am sure you will catch the big one very soon. Best of luck for that one..

Guys a logistical question

When you catch the bigger chaps
and if you do not want to release it
then what is the most humane way of finishing the fellow off

I kind of have pangs of guilt seeing them gasp and flutter for so long - particularly if they are biggies
