Thank You Lord Bana now I'm sure we'll have the best fishing that we'll ever have.
Har har har.... the only thing you chaps will be catching is forty winks whilst waiting for a bite.
Was I right or was I right?

Okay okay so you were right damn you
. I even tried my jarvis walker minnows that had the legend 'please don't fish your limit off'. har har that was aussie for a joke. crap they didn't work even in Oz.
But i'll tell ye its no fun without the kala teetar as the end score happy or sombre was the same fish 6 visitors 0. But after two hours of baiting really yuccky stuff and resisting Asif's bait...its for the fish Dev not your lunch! It got too much so we decided to get even and gave some weights, bait, tackle, hooks to the locals who were gonna sit there all day. A guy next to anupam and asif was using fevikwick and pulling six or seven inch sized soles every half minute. He kept at it till he got enough meat for dinner and off he went. The sad part is that if this pond was managed well it could have developed into an easy access fishing spot. But right now a massacre of sorts is happening with all kinds of people getting any fish they can any which way. Soon I guess nothing will be left. But we had fun getting a few bites on Asifs soya bait, it took me a lot of will power not to wolf it down and then look around asking ,"Soya what soya?"
Really need to get the good Doc in a Wasi type of lodge and sample his cooking. Maybe we'll carry a small gas stove along next time. That way atleast we'll have had some good food to fill up on instead of the usual comments from the locals," Yesterday a sahib came with your kinda machine and took out a 7 kg Magur." ;-< ;-<

The damned magur didn't even like the chicken shit which i managed so discreetly and obeying the Doc's advice, to lace it with pickled mustard oil and leave it out in the sun to putrify.... curse the nearly 50 crows that gathered on the roof and started their crowing at full volume, leaving the neighbours bewildered on what the heck I was up to...

as the penguin says in 'Madagascar'-
"Just smile and wave boys, smile and wave! "
good show Anupam, for getting your hands into the gunk and baiting the hook with the rotting chicken innards...next time, its 'clean' soya bait for you-if Dev doesent wolf it down first

And remember the good Doc did offer you surgical gloves to make it easier

Time you tried spinners,plugs or some kind of electronic worm that you can put on your hook without you having to put on gloves and reach up it's a$$.
