INDIANANGLER

Greetings,

Just came back from a four day trip from Konkan coast.
I had the opportunity to fish with Venkatesan this time on the west coast.

Overall the trip was great and the fishing was good. I loved my new combo G-Loomis PBR843C rod paired with a Shimano Calcutta 300TE reel loaded with 50# power pro braid. Between the 2 of us we landed 2 Mangrove Jacks up to 7.5 pounds, 1 Grouper at 11 pounds and 4 Rawas up to 10.5 pounds. The threadfin gave an incredible fight with a lot of acrobatics :)

I lost 2 nice groupers that I couldn't control Planning to improve my fish fighting techniques from the rocks. With the knowledge from Venkatesan I was able to land the threadfins from the rocks though (I fish shallow open sandy beaches 90% of the time where finding fish is very hard but landing them is easy). Big groupers from the rocks are now on the top of my list of fish :)

Cheers, Maruthu

Right from boarding the bus, it was an adventure. We were just given a temporary lift as the bus we booked didn't show up and was left in no man's land well short of 200kms from our planned destination. After a lot of planning we decided to head towards a spot in konkan coast, which was on our to-do together list for sometime. Finally the adventure turned out to be a very good one..

Hearty Congratulations to both of you

wishing you , many more hook up

thanks for sharing the news before making it public
