Nice beauties Doc. whenever I look at the pics I begin to like your spot more and more.....

Doc, any small Murrels for me..??

Congrats mate..

big murrels waiting for you santosh

Congratulation again and many more congratulations in advance for upcoming murrels

I thought of the following possibilities...
1) Murrell was just curious not hungry
2) Was a previously escaped specimen which associated
Scum frog with pain
3) Water temp was not right for feeding???
and the murrell was half asleep
4) maybe my retrieving was not imitating a frog appropriately

were you at at an elevated angle to see the murrel? if you see ther murrel and it follows the frog... slow it down to a halt... and then suddenly twitch it .. moving it forward a bit.. the murrel thinks the frog is escaping and thus you induce what it called a reaction strike.. all the best..

if one lure doesn't work then try switching to spinners, spoons, live bait n dead bait. There are many other alternatives...

true...

a few pictures of yesterday.....

Nice one Amir. Is that the Sabarmati near the barrage? Looks good for murrels. Nice raft too..Hows the weather now?


Jeen

thanks omesh

thanks samit, yes , it was a froggy. this time i saw the fish in open water following the frog from a distance, then overtook it and hid in a patch of weeds and waited for the frog to pass over it . the murrel took the frog through the weeds..

thanks jeen, this place is a few kilometers upstream of the city where the water is clear and unpolluted. once the river passes through the city it is nothing but sewage. the barrage is downstream of the city and you cant stand there because of the foul stench. you are right , there are huge murrels here. as for the weather, its getting hotter by the hour.


thanks scott, keep on inspiring us.. the pleasure is all mine

thanks manish

[quote="dr aamir bhavnagri"]here are the pics. the carps had a black spot on its tail

Uploaded with



That isn't a Carnatic Carp aka Barbodes carnaticus as those have a high dorsal profile and lack the black spot at the base of the caudal or tail.

This is Puntius sarana subnasutus

you are right channabarca, this is'nt carnatic carp but a type of carp called black spot. they take spinners freely.

this murrel was caught on cut bait ( fish ). two months back.

So nice fish! I hope i Will be able to catch one during my visit of India!

nice biggie after quite some time on the forum. Cheers Doc! wishing you many more. Thank you very much for sharing it is a treat to my eyes.
