Sorry to ask:

Where were you on the beach? Baga? Calangute?

sorry i ment to say lol, I fished from calangute beach (very busy, not the easiest of fishing) Ashvem (gets deep quite quickly) and a lot from coco beach, if you go there, theres a rocky outcrop on your left i thought this would be good but i dont think i fished it right, incidentally all the catfish i caught i gave to the deli dolly beach shack owners and they were very gratefull, hope you hook into a good one, let me know how you get on.

a good place to fish is before you get to the prison on the rocks there is some deep water i went trolling in the same area in dec only problem you will be to far from a bar!

i thought coco beach was a little shallow and would have thought it difficult to find shoals off fish that could be why you was catching cats suppose they come in shore as they will eat anything
as for fishing on the beach i noticed a lot of people were using standard course rods and reels not even baitrunners or big pits and they seemed to struggle with there casting,they were only using 2-3 oz weights and with that tide being as strong as it is you need gripper leads preferably sea fishing ones
i think lure fishing you need to get near the prison on the rocks the water is deep there and not as rough as on the beach
cant wait to get back and get the rods out

My brother in law Sid is a Carp fisherman
He is going to Baga (Riverside) for a month with my sister

He is fishing mad and my sister wants to keep him quiet for a month.

They are travelling 16th Dec from Gatwick although they are from Leics.

Can you recommend good fishing places

Thanks
