Last catch of the season. We caught pearl spot 'Karimeen' and various types of fresh water prawn almost every other day in Vellayani lake. I'll be travelling most of the next two weeks. First to Bangalore for the Pycon India 2009 and then to Hyderabad to spend sometime working in Hyderabad university.
Just bagged a Tiger Prawn (Penaeus monodon) in the lake. I had brought out the fishing rods on impulse while taking quick break for a cup of coffee. I did not expect to catch anything but life it seems to be full of surprises. The nasty bugger snipped at my fingers while I was trying to free him of the tiny fishing hook. I know why its called a Tiger Prawn now.
