Beach Walk on a Rainy Day

Perumathura Beach

 

While walking on the water breaker, we could see many people fishing using different rods and line. When I asked about the fishes that are usually caught here, a person said Hamour, and few other fish names which I can't recollect. 

On seeing it, I wish I too should try my luck with fishing here. Also, I wish there was someone who could teach beginners on how to fish in this area!

Here is an opportunity for skill share at this place ( learn angling at Perumathura)

  • What's the best bait to be used here?
  • Which type of fishes are usually caught here?
  • How to throw a line?
  • Which type of hook is better? 
  • Is the throw line better or rod with reel?
  • Where to buy fishing rods? ( Amazon or Decathlon)
  • What are the things to be carried on a fishing trip?
  • How to make the trip memorable?
  • How to make a daily living by fishing? 
  • Is there any place where they can prepare the fish caught here?
  • Will such a place provide clean loo, and beer for cash?
  • What are the safety tips, especially while fishing in this area?
  • Where to buy prawns in this locality ( to use as  baits)
  • How about fishing trips for foreigners who visit Kovalam or Varkala?
  • After a fishing trip, will get to enjoy fish barbecue and beer in a spot by the backwater?

  • What's the best timing to catch fish? ( Is it in the morning or evening?)
  • How to support the local community? Can someone from here collect such requirements and post on a blog or a site. Probably, such efforts will get attendtion from generous people. Things like - Money to  build a bus shelter or buy a water heater in an Anganwadi, or get a window's house repaired, or support a old couple, or give financial support to an academically bright student, etc


    Btw, I just checked the price of hamour fish at store in Tvm. It's Rs 960 a kg.  ( That's too pricey). After knowing that, I have a strong desire to go to Perumathura and try my luck. Kittiyal oru hamour, poyal oru konju! 😉
