Hi, I am new to this forum. I am a far eastern expat currently on a job posting here in DXB. Very keen in fishing and slowly learning all the tricks and skills of the hobby. Just came back from a 2 week vacation in Brunei and git myself some gears as the choices of rods and reels are either quite limited or expensive compared to my home country. The lists of arsenals are as follows; rods (all 2pcs) - Shimano Jigwrex s605 (max 23kg), Eupro Turbo Jerk (max 20Kg), Pioneer Tackle Sea Conqueror (max 23kg). reels - Shimano Spheros 12000FA, Daiwa Opusbull 6000 and Okuma V65sa(will be arriving soon) Like mentioned before, good quality reels are either expensive or very limited here BUT the choices and prices of lures (rapala, storm, williamsons, yo-zuri etc) are fantastic here (DXB) compared to Brunei. Went out fishing in a boat last Friday morning with a few friends. Surprisingly caught a good size (about2.5kg) mackeral(king fish) on a bottom fishing method! Tried trolling without any success otherwise other catches are as a couple of sheris, a small hamour, a white travelly and surprisingly lots of sultan ibrahim! Highly appreciate if someone can give/pass me the best fishing spots in Dubai as well as UAE, to ensure all my gears are put to good use. Best Regards! |
