3.4 kg Murrel caught in Manjeera River

Hi,

This murrel / Snakehead was caught using a spinner at Manjeera river at (not to be disclosed) location. Caught by my friend James.

See what James said

"To top off the trip an amazing snake head which i was luckey with as while it rushed in to the Reeds i pulled him out with so much of force that my Line had snapped but thank to Ben who had the other end with him and thanks to the snake head which landed just behind me could not land him as the place was full of reeds and very high water levels."

Certainly it is a memorable fish for James. Congrats James for such a lovely fish and wish more to come.

Cheers

Fishing at Hyderabad - Fishing tackle advice.

Dear Friends,

If you're planning for a fishing trip to Hyderabad, here are few tips that might be helpful while you're fishing here.

For spinning team we suggest the following tackle. They can target Snakehead & Catfish (wallago attu). For details about these fishes you can view my previous posts.

1. Fishing reel size needed - 3000 - 4000
2. Rod - 6.5 -7 ft - medium action.
   
3. Line : 12-15lb mono
   
4. Lures - all types of spoon, spinners & few rapala rattlers.

For Bait Casting we suggest the following tackle. You can target Rohu & Catla. These two fishes are from carp family and are excellent game fish. Flour bait is used for these two species. For rest of the fishes you can use earthworms which are loved by almost all types of fishes.

1. Fishing reel size needed - 4000-6000
   
2. Rod - 6.5 -7 ft - medium action.
   
3. Line : 15-25lb mono
   
4. Lures - earthworms, live baits, Chicken lever, Chicken Gut & flour bait.
   

Other things to bring:
1)Life Jacket if you don't know swimming.
2)A sun hat/cap, Sun shades. Sun screen.
3) At least 2 liters of water(MUST). Any energy drinks would be of great help as well.
4) Refreshments - chocolates / energy bars/ Energy Drinks etc.
5) Lunch.
6)Your photo Id.

For location
Please check the last post.

We will keep updating this page with more info very soon.
