Fishing At Arabian Sea Mangroves, Port Qasim, Karachi

[Xoofi]

Time for dinner. Chicken Karhai and naans brought ourselves.

After dinner it was tea time. This kid (son of our nakhuda) was very funny. He laughed on every thing and also made us laugh. He was the one who made tea for us and when we handed him Tarang Milk, he said, "baba nakli doodh, ye to fauji ka hai".

We all laughed and then his father, Babu Bhai told us that the coast guard (a part of paramilitary forces protecting coastal areas) checkpost jawaans use this milk thats why he said fauji ka doodh

This was my first trip after purchasing DSLR. Still below the level of a beginner. Tried to play with the brightest star and made an "S" with the help of long exposure. Thanks to @aks_e_ahmed for the tutorials

Everyone kept catching fish except me and another guy. I decided to sleep a little around 1 AM, but it was very uncomfortable out there because of "Dew".. the whole boat was chip chipi

At 4 AM, I decided to try the luck once again and as soon as I threw the fishing line, I noticed a movement in the line. I pulled and pulled and prayed that it be a fish. And YES!! it was a fish finally after 10 hours of trying. My personal first catch was decent size catfish..

After catching the first fish, my restlessness got cooled down and I decided to lay down for an hour or so.. Woke up after an hour and it was still dark.

Slowly the darkness faded away giving way to a fresh morning..

Gotta go now... Remaining story and pics after TQC-KHI GTG

12 kg .:eek:an awesome catch man. Very nice trip.

Can u please tell how did u arranged this boat???.

Thanks bro. I must mention that the 12 kg was collective catch, not single fish It would have been heavenly trip if a single catch was 12 kg

The boat was pre-arranged by a friend (the one with beard). He had been to this place before too with same boat person. So its booking was just a call away

Btw, I like your username.. It comes from my favorite movie, "Into the wild". And the character was Christopher McCandless aka Alexander Supertramp
