7kg Wallago attu / Wolley / Pathen / Ikan Tapah

Dear Friends,

This is a 7kg fish caught at Madhavreddy canal on the earthworm on single hook.

If you're a regular to this place you'll know about the three gates and pillars. Water was running from first gate and the line got struck in the P3 - 3rd pillar.

We could see the fish but do nothing. One of our team members, used a separate line with treble hook to land this fish from the height of 30 feet.

It was a team effort in landing the fish. Truly adventurous.

Will update his photo of the angler who set the hook very soon.

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.
