Not too much to report fishing wise. I went out with some locals on their boat this morning, cast a few lures around, nothing doing.
Had a lucky moment yesterday though. I'm in a seaside place in Tamil Nadu called Mamallapuram (try saying that after a skinfull)
I was climbing over some rocks to get a better snap of this temple when there was a commotion in the sea, about 20 yards out. Fish were scattering everywhere, thenI saw a black fin. A couple of seconds later a Dolphin completely cleared the water, with small fish all around it.It was so close that I felt the spray.
I feel so priviliged to have seen this!
OK on Friday I've a 3 day sailing to the Andaman Islands, which are off the coast of Myanmar (Burma).
The Islands are surrounded by coral reefs, a bit like the Seychelles I guess. Only intrepid types go though, so it hasn't been destroyed by tourism, or suffered from the inflated prices of other similar island groups.
There is good surfing, snorkelling and fishing. Deep sea is popular but I'll be concentrating on the flats, and thedeeper beaches at night. A bonefishwould be nice!
Tight lines to all.
