Beach Fishing in Rameshwaram

Got some old "Shikaar" tales to share? Found a great new spot to Fish? Any interesting camping experiences? Discussion of Back-packing, Bicycling, Boating, National Parks, Wildlife, Outdoor Cooking & Recipes etc.

Beach Fishing in Rameshwaram

Post by vivekpeter » Mon Feb 11, 2013 4:53 pm

Hi my fellow IFGians,

This weekend, I had gone to Rameshwaram, and tried my hand at beach fishing. Landed a few catfish and a couple of croakers. You can see the photos below -

Good to see you having fun. The fish seem kind of small. Are they the usual or get bigger? Thanks.

That wasn't a pic of the fish he caught, that was the bait he was using! ROTFL

It looks like you had a good time, wish I was there too!

We caught a couple of big cat fish, and the largest one was about a foot long.. thats all..

@marthandan -

I am a total newbie at fishing and have never tried vandiyur lake or vaigai near sholavandan... :oops:
Iused shrimp as bait in a fish finder rig.

@mark -

if only the fish caught are as big as the tales they tell.. :evil:
presume not bad for the 1st attempt at beach fishing... :D
