[@neelufisherman574]

Guess u stayed at the Mariotts...beautiful hotel to the left is the river mouth ,good GT action during the Ebb..also if u go to Matara the bridge is a great place for small Tarpon but draw back u have a big audience,The Nirwala ganga that flows have huge crocs so beaware...the river opens near polina beach again good action on ebb...The lighthouse 20 mins away furthest south is a good haunt.Any queries i help was my hunting grounds last 4 years.

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

Thank you Neil! Yes, we stayed at the Marriot. I did get into some great action with a large GT and a couple of MJs at the river mouth during outgoing tide. Will post video next week. I'll try and contact you for more info. I'm back in India now, but will go there again. Did try a bunch of places between Mirissa and Galle. Will try the other side towards Matara next time I'm there.

[@denissavretic1069]

Hi :) I am planning a 20 day fishing trip to Shri Lanka, and would be happy if you could help me with a general idea of an area to target. Thank you :)

Super bro

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

Thanks bro

[@JGFishing]

Cool stuff! What rod and reel are you using in this video?

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

Thank you! I was using a 7' Major Craft Basspara rod paired to a Shimano SLX 151 HG reel.

[@muhammedhrilwan2161]

We also near by the place and hope to go for fishing to the same place

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

Good luck! Hope you catch some nice fish there.

[@bluewaterfishinggoa]

Good catch bro 🎣

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

Thanks bro

[@vsonic86]

Do you put your rods on travel case while traveling on plane? And how long is the length of your rod?

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

PVC tube. The longer rod was 9', 2 piece equal section. So, the tube was about 60 inch long and about 4 inch wide

[@roshenfernando3348]

What is the soft plastic luar you are using in this video

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

I don't remeber at this point. But back then, I was using a lot of DUO realis soft lures

[@pavelkohel5132]

Hi, friend! Thanks for these documents. Is a licence needed for this type of fishing in Sri Lanka? Can someone say?

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

No need for any license to fish from the shore in saltwater in Sri Lanka.

[@AnglingAddictssrilanka]

Good action!!

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

Thank you

[@AnglingAddictssrilanka]

@@LivingOutdoorsWild there is a big concrete fishing pier in weligama(adjoining weligama fish market)..its only about 1.5-2km from the Hotel you are staying at. this would be a good place to try too. i have caught GT there.

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

I fished that place only once. Didn't catch anything there. Had one small strike on a jig and that was about it. Too many boats were around and I didn't fish that place again. How big was that GT you caught?

[@AnglingAddictssrilanka]

@@LivingOutdoorsWild early morning is best. not much boat activity at that time. GT i have caught have been smaller ones (3-5lb size)..but my friend got spooled by a big GT, sadly could not land it.

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

Thanks for the info. I'll give that place another try next time I'm there. Which month were you there and caught the GTs in this place?

[@keeptrying.]

pls guide me to buy full fishing rod setup , and shop were to buy 🎣🎣🐟🐟🐟🐬🐬🔥🔥🔥

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

Where are you located?

[@keeptrying.]

@@LivingOutdoorsWild coimbatore, but I'm looking for shops in Chennai to buy.

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

Check out Poseidon sports fishing in Chennai. They should be able to guide you.

Thanks

nice bro

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

Thanks bro 🤜

[@chathurahettihewa3244]

Nice bro

[@vishakhasingh8769]

Is using a leader always necessary

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

I prefer not to. I rarely lose fish due to teeth

[@muhammedhrilwan2161]

How long it 2ook you to catch those fishes?

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

I fished there a few days and got lucky one day

[@DDL-n2u]

Are those Red Jacks? Or what is the species? I'm curious how they taste.

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

There are mangrove red snappers. They are an excellent table fare 😊

[@jonnynadi12-q8f]

Hey brother, I think you meant to say Snappers not Jacks, those first 2 fishes 😜

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

Hahaha... Jacks are used in the USA to refer to Jack Crevalle and some might have even carried that term to GTs (back in the day) . Snappers are commonly referred to as Jacks in the part of the world where I caught them. I'm sure you know all this already any way :)

[@jonnynadi12-q8f]

@@LivingOutdoorsWild sure, yeah I think they are Mangrove Jacks

[@Baksan_Dog1988]

mate nice fishing session there.. can I ask how many lbs/kg line your using on your slx r you using braid to leader or just straight mono.. Thanks in advance…

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

Thank you! I was using 40# power pro braid

[@Baksan_Dog1988]

@@LivingOutdoorsWild thank you.. looking forward on your next videos…

Coming up next week 👍

[@Baksan_Dog1988]

@@LivingOutdoorsWild sorry 1 more question.. what rod brand & length and rod line rating on this ?? tnx

[@LivingOutdoorsWild]

I was using a Major Craft 7' Basspara BXC-702H rod. This rod is rated for 12 to 25lb line and 10 to 40 gram lures. Hope that helps!
