Keep going there and let us know when you find out.
Mack The Knife,
It's the hook getting snagged to the weeds that makes the place irritating.

The weedless lunker spoon wasn't given for show....
Use the 40/50 lbs leader with it.

Pran/Inder,
In short, the bad luck plaguing me as far as fishing is concerned has come to you. You can escape your fate only by shooting more often now that the fish have refused to bite. Do an air rifle shoot sometime to ward off the bad ju-ju/drishti or whatever.
Nice pics and you did have great fun even if you had to return without any fish.
Thanks for posting and better luck next time!

Don't listen to Mehul. He's just jealous.
Mark, next time Mehul's over make him catch a few so that we can hear him sing aother tune. Make it one drink per fish and he will probably pull them all out.

5th and 6th May, I am taking wifey and the kids to Shiva. However, if that plan falls through we can go. Will let you know.

Okay.. if you want to but i don't think it has anything worth hooking.

Mack The Knife,
Will try when I get to Mark's place the next time. That said, my experience angling over the years has been so bad that all I do is relax with beers when I am out while others fish.
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
With three lakes on Mark's property and some of them so full with fish that you could see them if you stood by the shore, I guess I might have better luck, but then again, I'm not sure.
Asif,
No champagnes for me. Just love to mix cocktails and otherwise, I like beer. Must be my Gujarati blood that dictates my choice in drinks.
Cheers!

Well, this time you don't even get a sip of water until you have caught one.

Oh yes, go on, rub it in some more...
