I went for fishing with my Dad and Uncle in Ponmudi, Idukki 📍

Hi Friends, My name is Sachin George and I hope all of you are doing well and safe. Today I am here to share my experience of fishing in Ponmudi, Idukki📍. I went to this place with my father and my uncle. It was an great experience for me, from going there and learn a lot about fishing. Both of them told me a lot about fishing. My uncle also shared to me about his secret ingredients for making fish bait, which will help us catch fishes faster. The ingredients will be listed below and also at the end of the video. The entire video was recorded with my native language "Malayalam". So I hope you guys won't have any idea what we are saying in this video, but don't worry. Everything will be explained here in "English".

Ponmudi is a place close to my father's house. my dad and my uncle used to go there when they were young. Its a beautiful place to be in. Due to covid 19 my place was under lockdown for months and I was always staying inside home playing games and all. So my parents decided to take me to Ponmudi for fishing with my uncle when this lockdown was over. The place we went was completely inside a forest ( in a 5KM radius its covered with trees to avoid landslides and flood). There is so many different fishes in that place like, Grass Carp, Cat fish, Clarias Gariepinus, Fire shrims , Stinging Catfish, Banded Snakehead, Tilopia, Giant Danio and etc

For catching each fish there is certain timings, like some fishes are easy to catch in the mornings and some are at night. So you need to go there in that certain time to catch the fish you desire. otherwise "its up to luck"

Well, This place has some of the striking views and a peaceful surroundings which makes this place unique from other places I have visited. I totally loved it. really a beautiful place.

The fishing hook was custom made for fishing this way. used a spring of and of an old umbrella and welded it to a star shaped sheet of metal with holes at the end were earth worn is hooked, after that there is a hole at the top to connect it to the fishing line to it after that it is thrown to a far distance and the line is attached to a stick (acting as rod) with a plastic bottle at the top.

When the fish try to bite the bait, the bottle at the top falls to the ground letting us know that the fish is about to get caught. After the fish get hooked by the fishing hook we can gently pull the line to the shore.

Thank you all for going through my post, Have a nice day
