Dear jammie , You can have your fishing lisence applied online at www.dm.gov.ae look for recreational fishing lisence . There are no fresh water fishing ponds here . Its either the creek or the sea . So all is salt water game . People normally use here spinning outfits . PENN 950ss is a good option . But again there are different brands . Although i have seen few guys use bait caster . You can locally also buy tackles here in dubai but only the good reels like penn and shimono tends to be more expensive . But other items like hooks and rods and also lures are less expensive . If you have glowing rapalas or rapalas with lights inside for night fishing please do bring for your self and also if possible for me . But mind you dont take deep runnes because u will loose them in rocks if u ar thinking of shore casting . Go for surface level only . I have heard in uk you have lighted lures for night fishing . From shore swimming depth for lures should be ideally 2- 5 meters . Because mostly the shore line is like that depth barring few spots where its 11 meters. Night fishing is important because in summer months when its too hot people like night fishing as day fishing is too hot then and more over in day time due to hot water fishes run away in the deep . Small fishes normally come on live bait or shrimps,squid.macarel . Rapalas also do work but for bigger game fish out in the open sea . The creek over here has got lot of rocks and there flows construction material derbis hence adviced even if u use rapalas here in the creek then go for surface level ones , not deep runners . Fishes avail able in the creek are groupers and cat fishes mainly also queen fish and occationally barracuda and silver GT . Out in the ocean there are lot of fishes a little deep . You can expect sharks , kings,durandao , sting rays , snappers , jacks , rock fish ( near the rocks ) . But for surf fishing i would advice you a little stronger line . Say .50 to .50 with 25 lb test line . For creek 0.40 with 15 lb test line is perfect . You can see my previous posts from the arcchives where i have given in details how to secure a fishing lisence .
