INDIANANGLER

hi guys, we here in ahmedabad have been blessed with hundreds of kms of canal networkwhich is full of monsters waiting to be caught. here are some of themurrel that i caught in the last few months. some were caught on mepps aglia, little cleo spoons and most of them on scum frogs. i had ordered the shimano alivio mh 9 ft rod from bops which works wonderfully well specially with frogs as it casts very far and properly sets the large hooks from a distance.









all three were caught on mepps aglia. in this part of the canal the current is very swift and ther are hardly any weeds. the murrel give a very good fight in such waters







this guy took a cleo spoon(nickel)late in the evening just as it was getting dark.



this fishcame on a black scum frog. the problem with frogs is that after taking it the fish dives straight for the bottom of the weeds and a pull devil pull baker act ensues. but the adrenaline rush of the explosive top water strike mor than compensates for it.






this 8 pounder took ablack scum frog yesterday. just got the fish holder from cabelas which is a wonderful gadget for landing fish and good for people who hate getting slime on thier hands.

regards,
aamir.

Fantastic action. Great going mate.

I'm on my way. Just finishing packing.

hey AAMIR congrats on your catch I hope you too perform the autopsy on your catch like Ace doc . looks like all the docs in the country are busy chasing the murrels carry on doctors

Monster Murrel mate awsome stuff.

hi ! great catch . i also got two murrels last night. one of them is rethinking about frogs as prey while the other on is at the pearly gates (if murrel have them). i am yet to get a murrel like yours though.
watch out!

dr Amir, First of all my compliments for a wonderful story and equally good snaps of your great catch. Fishing for Murrels have always been a dream for any angler in the Fresh Waters of the sub continent, those connoisseur of fish will vouch for the delicacy this fish offers, we in Hyderabad keep looking for spots where we can get these beauties, but let me tell you its never been easy though, having gone through your post it seems your waters are teeming with murrels, wish I can join you for a trip some time in future, meanwhile keep fishing & keep posting to ignite the passion in guys like me...

Very Nice Murrels Amir, congrats.

Nice snakeheads! Keep on doing it.

Bops

Good to see some serious Murral action Amir, and good to be back after a break.Those are AWESOME fish, yup, you may get the record breaker here.Keep on doin it...

For starters, what ever you are doing must be right!The pics prove it
the only reason to suggest spoons is as an experimental/fun bit.Hey, all my spoons are home made (actually, in the loo-when i first started-only place with a good 'anvil'!!) sure can do, PM your email and I'll send the drawing across.Yup, as described above, plain old cutlery spoon.Another member posted pics here of his design.absolutely KISS principle...Little Amir is a proper terror, ask his elder sister :) keeps casting with a 6/0 hook(point and barb filed off) or a plug with no hooks, tied onto his mainline.His major kick in life is to hear the 'click click' of my OH rod/reel combo-it means unspoolong 50-80m of line for him...

@ asif- pmed you my email id.


@arun-you are most welcome here, pmed you my contact no. if its the narmada canal you are talking about then it must hold murrel.


yesterday, went to my fav fishing spot and caught three murrels and lost two. all of them were released. the most intresting part of this trip was that i was catching carps ranging from 200 gms to 500gms on mepps no 4 spinners hooked through the mouth will post the pics tonight.

Hi Dr. Aamir,

Wow! catching carps on Mepps is something unusual to hear. I thought Carps could only be hooked on Atta and worms.

Thanks for your invitation. I have sent you my e-mail on PM.

Tight Lines,

Arun

here are the pics. the carps had a black spot on its tail

Nice pictures. And what a beautiful place. Great going Doc!

Hi Doc,
That's a silver Karnatic (or Carnatic) Carp. They readily take the spinners. And fight fanatically.
6 lb line, #3 mepps Spinner and a 500 to 750 gr Karnatic carp on the end is really a worthy fight.
Nice Murrel.
Congrats
Ravi

Nice location. Thanks for sharing the pics

Carry on Doctor

how do a scum frog look like??

where can i get it

please help me guys

http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templ ... hasJS=true

scum frogs look like this. you can order scum frogs from www.cabelas.com. i usually get the shipment within two weeks. i have used many different kinds of frogs but scum frogs have given the best results and they are durable. just bend the hooks little outwards with pliers and the hookup percentage will increase a lot. hope this helps.


aamir.
