Hi all,Just sorted out some pics of my last trip with Daniel :D in Feb 06,and theres one of the Fishing lodge also.These fish are 3 Baramundi
2 at 20lb ,1 at 23lb and 1 red snapper 15 lb.This a normal catch.But

Oh my god those fish are massive!!!

The lodge looks really nice, I've been told that it's quite nice for us girls to spend a couple of days up there at the lodge while the men are off fishing...........would you agree?, maybe I can get Mr Flipflop to learn how to hold a rod??

Hi GFF,Thats right its a great place to just relax there if your not fishing,
its a very small village with nothing there apart from a few local shops.
No one speaks any english at all,but there is a 800year old fort there
built on the side of the sea, which you can walk around,takes about
2hours to get right round it,and 10 mins to walk too from the lodge.
the lodge looks over the small fishing harbour.They will also drop the wives off at one of the many small deserted beaches there and collect you in the boat at a fixed time.Be warned though there are no beach shacks ,shade or sunbeds there.They have there own cook at the lodge who will either cook the fish you catch or somthing else if you prefer.couple of pics here :lol: all in all a great trip.Split

Thanks for the pics. I've heard about the fort up there but didn't realise that it's so close to the lodge.....think I'll give it a try when I get back!!

I really like your pics, the fishing seems great. My wife would have something to say about getting dropped off on the beach however, she always wants to catch the biggest fish! What is the cost per day for the fishing and lodge?

Hi Nigel,Well cant get through to my friend in India,but am pretty sure
now that the name of the Village and the fort is Vijaydurg.The Map link you gave me here,where the man is fishing is just a little further to the south .Dont know the scale of that map but maybe 40 miles north of the fisherman in the pic is the place..Does not show the village or the fort or even the highway,but sure thats where it is. Good luck Dave :wink: http://www.outlooktraveller.com/aspscripts/trip_maps.asp?destname=Sawantwadi&klm=7
