Went there a few years back.Was quite keen on finding out about fishing myself without much luck.
Talking to the workers in the hotel,waiting staff etc,quite a few were keen fishermen,but with really basic gear-and i do mean basic.I gave them copies of some angling mags that i took over and they went bonkers
By all accounts there are catfish in some of the paddy ponds-BUT they will almost certainly be dry when you go(same time of year as when we went)By all accounts they srvive the dry spell!!!!.
Guess the sea would offer something,however there are some really strong currents.Was told NOT to go out on local boats.
Sorry not much use
in fact pretty usless really

this might help

Hi.guess not much use now, you prob. there,well if you go to north Goa. Baga calengute,you can fish the Baga river, i go twice a year,Its only a small river but when tide is coming in(an estuary) theres some nice catfish(grunters) snappers etc.there are also a couple of lakes tied to hotels you can fish for about £7 per day ,not used myself but spoken to others that have caught baramundays up to 27 lbs.I take a tele.rod,fits in case(course rod)Buy calimari from market.50 p worth will last couple days,(squid) or prawns bout same price, good fun.

Hi Booty,don't know if you still about,i have just come back from Goa,the lakes i mentioned have many large fish(salt water lakes) they are topped up from baga river when tide comes in,anyway there are many barracuda, barramunday snappers,angels,etc i saw many very large ones and saw some caught also,the river not fished so well this year,ok R.

Hi Tcman. Even if he is not still following the topic, lots of folks read these topics and never leave a reply so the info will almost certainly help others you'll never know about.

Hi Newt. Glad someone read anyway,The barramunday don't know if spelt right,are up to 30 lbs,saw photo of one on a phone he had just took, the chap that caught it had snook off with it as you are supposed to0 put back or give the hotel for kitchen,anyway you could see the fish swimming by the lakes are only about 4ft at most,my gear waS A bit light and got broke as i saw one or two get broke as well,one lad i was talking to went up to a 60lb line,i go again inNovember so will go up to 15lb,think i can get em at that,cu R.

You'd be amazed at how many folks read these topics. Most never reply but the topics certainly do get read.

barramunday = Barramundi (I had to look it up though )
