Murrel of Karnataka 4.2 kg

Dear Friends,

This monster Murrel / Snakehead / Channa Marulis was caught at a lake near Bidar in Karnatak.

Mohsin bhai caught this monster on our  super duper spoon lure. It was around 4.2 kg.


It is not very easy to catch one such murrel, it takes a tough man to catch one, specially in waters of Andhra & surrounding lakes in Karnataka.

Many of the rivers & lakes are badly netted and most of murrels are shy animals and these fishes are familiar to all the methods of fishing.

We have to be very careful while targeting this species. The dress you wear has to match with surroundings and so many more precautions to be taken in the process.

They are smart fishes and catching a murrel means you're a hero for the day.

The best time to fish snakehead is either morning or evenings, though you get them in an part of the day.

There is a good list of what can be used to catch these predators. Hers is the list

1. Spinners
1. Aglia silver plain and dressed - size 4 and , these work best.
2. Bluefox - size 4 & 5
3. Spoons - small and big
4. Cleo spoons
5. Frogs 
6. Small rattlers like rapalas make would do.

More inputs in coming posts.

Chand Bhai - Catla, murrel/snakehead and other carps.

Dear Friends,

Let me introduce you all with our friend and team member Mr. Chand bhai aka Chand bhai batterywale.

He is a very humble and seasoned angler with repute. With him he has record of catching huge fishes, specially carps like Rohu, catla, mirgal at Umada Sagar - a freshwater lake on the outskirts of Hyderabad.

He also has good record of catching Murrels / Snakehead. Have a look at the images and you'll know it.

He has more than 4 decades of experience in Angling. For us he is like a senior and guide.

I am trying to put few of the snaps from his album. Very soon i will post more pictures about his catches.

Cheers
