Was Back again today (8/4/10) evening fished for about an hour and got this beautiful Jack around 1.5kgs clicked some pics and it was released...







When fishing in South Mumbai, there are good days and then there a lot of bad days, after my last barramundi's, I did not get anything for a long time in my backyard I fish there at least 2-3 times a week, so finally today I decided to give my 30lbs tackle a much needed break and took my light 8lbs monofilament tackle instead fishing with 2-3inch lures and this is what I got during the low tide in a span of 1hr and man these fishes can fight on a light drag..

All the fishes were released...

Nice catch. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Those are MJ's right?? Where in south mumbai is this???

Thanks Apoo and Dezz and yes those are MJ's all caught in colaba where I live.

Great going buddy keep it up

2-3 times a week now I'm getting jealous of you dilip

O GOD ! fishing one week in a month is not enough for me, please ! increase my fishing trips, let me work one week instead and fish the other 3 weeks -AAMEN

Very very cool Dilip. Great pictures.

regards Siddharth.

Thanks Sayed and Siddharth.

@Sayed why dont you also find some spot nearby in New Mumbai then even you will be able to fish every second day.

Yes Dilip I did went out searching for some good spots around here and am still too find one hopefully very soon

Calling all anglers in and around Navi Mumbai,Panvel and Uran. If you know an good FISHING hole let me know {through PM } I need to fish, I need no fish {you can keep them}
sorry dilip for using your thread I know you understand my passion buddy

@ Dilip is that the same rapala plug ? the one with which you caught two mangrove jacks { 3kg & 3.3kg } in an hour last year when we were fishing in murud together at 1pm on one fine saturday of 2009 { hope you remember }

Hi Sayed this is the same lure Rapala Xrap same color only difference is that the lure used in murud was 4 3/4" long and the one in the picture for small game was 2.5" long,

Sayed,

PM me the details we were talking about and will try my best to get some. The sooner the better though :)

Cheers - DeZZ

OK Chief

Good stuff Dilip.

We are fortunate to get to go fishing once in 2 -3 weeks. I envy you. Anyway, hopefully Dezz & myself will be able to end this season on a good note.

All the best Mate but when does the season end..

Hi Dilip,

Nice fish caught. Maybe sometime I will also join you at your backyard. Thnks for sharing the pics.

Anytime Abhi,

Regards

Season end by April, but for us I guess may be 2 more sessions. After which I intend to keep polishing my ROD and lures for next 5 months :)

Well why don't you guys fish for 5 months in UAE any particular reason.

Man if I could not fish for 5 months ill have withdrawal symptoms, ill pick up a fight with every second person including my wife, screw up at work and will do god knows what, I need my weekly dose of fish whether I catch anything on every trip does not matter, I just have to go out to Sea and cast my lures out,

regards

Summer is here!!!!!! When outdoor temperatures can range between 45 to 65 degrees celcius in the middle east, Im sure you will pack all your rods

I totally agree Dilip ! The same feeling here too and I thought only I had this rare syndrome { mad fisher syndrome } am glad to have company and many more guys from IA will also come forward and admit someday of having it

Without humor, life suck. Without courage, life is hard. Without love, life is hopeless. Without fishing, life is impossible!

Nice catch Dilip, keep them cming. I just love light tackle (Ali what you say? ) have a bad habit of hooking big fish on 10 LB tackle, BTW, I end up landing most of the fish..

I have gone as low as 5 lb tackle in powai. I'll bet if any one fishing there has gone that low. I lose some fish, but fighting a 2 KG Mrigal on that setup is something.

I'll love to fish in your backyard one day. Light tackle, small lures

Sayed, trust me where you stay I'll show you a place just 5 mins by road and you can get similar fish.

Santosh

GRRRREAT ! buddy for fishing this lion is always ready to wet his paws be it any part of the day or night {24X7} let me know when you are free and you will find me ready with my rod

Thanks Santosh and your welcome anytime to fish with me here in colaba and Sayed let me know more after your fishing trip in New Mumbai..

Sure mate, am waiting impatiently for the great Santo to lead me there

What ! another Jack
what say Santo ? let's raid Dilip's backyard and round up all the Jack & Jills and if Dilip want's revenge he is more than WELCOME to raid my backyard in murud and gather the dolphins & the jumbo turtles

Well all you guys are always welcome to my backyard and gathering all the dolphins and turtles in Murud together what a spectacle that would be absolutely beautiful...

O yeah than let me help you catch atleast one dolphin,
here is the free tip buddy :
1. get 200lb braid
2. heavy trolling rod
3. nice juicy sardine on a big hook
4. put on your water skis

and cast it from the place called K***A and when the dolphin takes your bait hold on tight and enjoy the skii ride. Ofcourse I'll be there recording your heroics on camera only to post it on IA under the title THE PHANTOM OF MURUD

LOL That was funny, but Boss not interested in catching any Dolphin's would just love to watch them play...
