Surf fishing Mumbai

Just arrived here in New Delhi then to Mumbai next weekend for 5 days. Any idea if the mumbai beach is worth a spin? What can be caught there using lures?

Well, unless it's changed a bit, I'd recommend keeping clear of the beaches - makes Moordialloc looking like a crystal-clear virgin mountain spring...

If you can get up to the mountains in the north, there's some great freshwater fishing. Unfortunately most of the rivers and beaches near the built-up areas suffer from massive amounts of pollution.

It's not that bad. You picked the worst online photo. Lol.

The Juhu breakwall looks fishable. Aside from 6 eyed fish, i wonder if there are things other than plastic bags i can catch on a lure.

I will have a look....
