Hi all, I think we can now say the fishing season is under way here in the UAE and we've had a hell of a start! the temperature have finally dropped from the summer 50's to the winter 30's and the game fish have returned! With my parents in town me and my father had the excuse we needed and enjoyed three days of exceptional fishing,

A couple of pics below, Queen fish (shore), baracuda (boat) and King Fish (Kayak) Shore fishing live bait, Kayak and Boat trolling Rapalas

Cracking report and some great fighting speices there.

Quick question.....do the locals fish? are is it not considered the to do thing over there.
 
Hi Rich - Dubai, infact all of the UAE depended on fishing and pearl diving for years. Fishing is still a very large industry in the gulf however the construction of the palm islands and the world project stirred up the water so bad many of the seasonal predator species stayed well off shore towards Iran, Pakistan and off the east coast of Oman.

Now the sea's are clear again the fish have returned however fishing is normally only done by ex pats for sport as the locals now live their life of luxury on their 'black gold' riches.

In addition to Dubai & Abu Dhabi fishing we are lucky enough to have Musandam In Oman (Similar to the Norwegian Fjords) only with sunshine and huge Giant Travally's, we also have Fujairah (approx 1.5hrs from Dubai) here we target Sailfish, Dorado King & Queenfish, both venues are a car drive away and untouched interms of fishing!

If anyone is heading out this way then please drop me a mail, I will be happy to point you in the right direction if I can,

Ps, it looks like you boys are having a hell of a start to the winter shore season aswell, all the best and keep the reports coming!
