Hi Guys
Quite an intresting discussion going on. Guys forget about these petty things and concentrate on all the fish that are waiting to be caught.
Pranab, think of it this way, you have something that people envy, that is why they talk behind your back.BE PROUD.
Welcome Carl, post those pix soon.
Regards
Owais |

Hi Guys
I am new In Dubai and really into my fishing. I fished around the Palm off my canoe just before it got too hot with a lot of success.
I got loads of barracuda, queenfish, hammour, catfish and a few other smaller stuff.
I will post some pictures as soon as I learn how...
Regards
Carl |

Hi Ijlal, -Appreciate your advice to Pranab. I think person like him should continue his good work, and help the forum to keep going.
Hi Pranab – Sorry to know that, but we need you & your guidance.
Hi Everyone – Keep coming with your ideas and experiences, even though they are small ones, don’t feel shy, there are those on the other side who are waiting to hear and learn from you.
Good Luck.
Regards,
Ronald. |

Pranab,
I feel the forum is not the right place to sort out your personal problems. If you have differences with your buddies, meet or call them and make amends. Friendship, like all other relationships is a give and take affair.
Just my two cents...
Cheers,
Ijlal |

hi ijlal ,
After having receiving recently a call from a fishing friend from this forum that a few of my fishing buddies whith whom i went to for a boat trip , whom i always though very close to me was shocked to know they had been talking a lot of things about me behind me . So this friend of mine called me and gave me two advices .
Please never give unsolicited advice to a fishing buddy again on this forum . Just read what others write . Now i knw why so many dubai fisherman stopped writing in this forum .
So for the time being i should listen to my friends advice .
Hi riche i got your sms last weekend but i was beyond lima sailing towards al sheesha . So could not get back to you buddy . Sorry for that .
By the way i sincerely apologise to my all my fellow fishermen who accompanied me to the last trip from the forum in dibba for,for unknowingly hurting any ones sentiment by any of my actions or my comments .
My humble request to my friends please dont talk behind me because i have openly apologised in public on the forum .
Mark i checked with OCEAN ACTIVE and they said their boats are under repair at present and hope to begin from mid october .
regards

Hi Guys
Recently read an artical on kite fishing -Writen by an Angler from New Zeland , the concept to me seemed very inovative. Has anyone tried it (Kite Fishing) and do you think it would work here.
Awaiting your comments.

Thanks Ijlal & Ronald,
It’s always helpful if one gets good advise from guys such as you.
I would provide the other details pertaining to my fishing rod & reel tomorrow. However, if Pranab reads through today’s post then he would know the rod & reel details off hand as I got all the equipment with his guidance.

Hi Ijlal,
Thanks a lot for the clarification. That’s why I told Amir to take guidance from others.
When I saw no one, I was in two minds, wht. to write or not, (you know why) then finally I thought let me write whatever is best to my knowledge.
But it was nice of you to share the right thing in using diff. rods, I too learnt from it.
Thanks once again.
Hi Amir – Hope you got the answers. This is the goodness of experienced people like Ijlal, who share their knowledge and guide you properly.
If you already have the rod, don’t be dishearten, use it, and later on you can take more advice from experts and go in for the right choice.
Regards,
Ronald. |

Hi Pranab
Thanks for the advice. I'll not be hiring a boat, just fishing form the shore/beach in Dibba. You mentioned there were some piers/rocks/breakwaters that were good there. I'm diving in the morning, and have to be back in Dubai early evening, so I'll just be fishing for an hour or so in Dibba. Of course, you, or anyone else, would be most welcome to join me.
Best regards

Hello Ronald,
Good to see you active on the forum!
I beg to differ with you on a few things. First, 30 lb line is way too heavy for shore fishing, and quite adequate for trolling, however, the size of line would also depend on the trolling rod. The guides on a conventional rod are indeed different from those on a spinning rod, but that does not mean you cannot troll with a spinning outfit. Again it would be the length and weight rating of the rod, and the capacity of the reel that would dictate what type of lures you can troll with that outfit; however, any rod longer than 7 feet will not be appropriate for any type of boat fishing. The only exception is the conventional trolling rods that run up to 8 ft, but have very slow tapers, and are meant to be used only from fighting chairs.
Hope this helps clear some misconceptions... and don't take it negatively
Thanks,
Ijlal |

Hello Zahed,
Welcome back! How was your vacation? Hope you enjoyed yourself.
This is indeed bad news! I have been noticing the scafolding for many days but did not know what it was for. They are closing all places one by one for us anglers. Another bad news is they have blocked access to a great spot in Musaffah where we used to catch barracuda and kingfish! They are constructing something there and I guess that is the end of it. The only option left for us is to start boat fishing.

Ijlal |

Hi Amir,
Sorry I am a bit late in responding to your questions. I guess you already know by now what a telescopic rod is. It is always better to use two piece rods instead of a telescopic one. Your rod at 300 cm (9'9" approx) is too long for boat use. The problem is when you try bringing the fish in for gaffing or netting in a boat, your rod tip would still be very far away from the boat thus making it very difficult to land.
30 lb line is strong enough for all the species of fish normally caught in UAE waters from a boat but quite heavy for shore fishing, but it would also depend on the rod and reel you are using. I would better be able to advise if you specify the model no. of your rod and reel?
Thanks,
Ijlal |

Hi Amir,
Daiwa brand is good. 30 lb line is just okay. You can do shore fishing, but trolling I doubt, bcs. as per my knowledge the guides are diff.
Still pl. take guidance from others. But at the moment you can surely go fishing on the shore. Enjoy yourself.
Hi Zahed, thanks for the msg. but where is this -Al Qurm Cornish ?

Abu Dhabi Anglers
Im bringing you some bad news.
Couple of months back, while fishing at Al Qurm Cornish I noticed some sort of soil-testing in the area. I came to know later from the area's janitor that all the water intrusion between the cornish and the facing island will be filled in an attempt to attach both areas.
Unfortunately, what he said seems true as I noticed today scaffolding being installed along the cornish and probably for isolating the site.
Really sad. |

Hi Amir,
Telescopic rod is like an antenna, one inside the other. When using it, you just have to pull it until all the sections are out. But 2-3 pieces rods are much stronger than telescopic rods. The advantage in teles. rod is that you can carry it easily. There are diff. types of tele. rods, one with the guides and other without, and ofcourse of diff. sizes.

Ronald. |

Hi Ijlal,
I read the discussion on Telescopic rods in the PGFA forum.
What exactly is a Telescopic rod? Do they simply mean two & three piece rod or something else.

Hi,
Yesterday evening after a long break I had been to Mamzar – Dubai side with my son. Just got a squid. I could see fish movements due to light reflecting on water, may be the small one, but if I would have waited I could have got more bites.
Yesterday I met Praveera from ShriLanka, who had a readymade rod and reel with him. I told him about this forum and he was happy and eager to join, but unfortunately today morning he lost his father, so he and his family left to home country. Please pray for his Father’s Soul.
Any news from you guys.
Regards,
Ronald. |

hi rich ,
I got a boat owner friend there who caters to fishing trips and tourist . He can guide you better there . Inside the omani port of dibba there is a tackle shop . I think they are the best to guide you in that area . But better fishing spots are after HAFFA along the coast . Its 45 mins from the omani port of dibba . Specially if you gun down the GT there .
In case you need furthur assistance you can call me . I would love to join you there .

Hi All - Ramadan Kareem!
I will be diving in Dibba next w/end, and wondered if anyone knows any good spots for a bit of shore fishing? I know you mentioned the piers there Pranab when we chatted last week. What species/techniques did you get/use?
Many thanks

Hi Amir,
What you saw is called Metal Jiggs and they're used for vertical jigging, snap jigging or casting. They can be deadly on fish if they're worked correctly and use them to fish any depth of water from surface to the deep bottom.
I hope this answers your question.
take care and good luck

Hi Guys,
I have seen coloured steel lures at many tackle shops here & these are not the typical trolling lures or rupalas. Can any one please tell me that are these meant for shore casting or else these are also for trolling. |

Pranab,
Is that a wolf fish? They are very dangerous creatures, in fact man eaters! Please do not go near the water as I have heard a few have been sighted in Dubai waters recently! They are even known to run over land at about 50 km/h when pursuing their prey. Please, please, do take care!
I am worried about you...

I am so sure that this whale just want to have a look to my girl and to be onest I dont know which creature was pretier in that moment.
There is a wonderfull movie out with whale sharks...calles whale rider.
Today I was in the goverment internet side to get my fishing licence but they need so many informations and contracts and everything that it would take couple more days to get my licence but one day I will be ready and then should leave every whale shark for holiday far away |

Hello Joerg,
I went to Shahama Harbour end of June and was standing at the edge of the quay side looking into the clear aquamarine water to see if any 'cudas or trevally were present, and lo behold, I see a 5 to 6 metre whale shark cruise by, just by the edge! I was shocked but did not panic and immediately put my hand in my pocket to take out my mobile, but then decided it would not be worth it to take any photos or make a movie clip. I later saw the creature two more times.
I also remember whale shark was sighted in Dubai Creek and reported by Gulf News last year, so I guess, it is not unusual for these giants to visit our waters.
Cheers,
Ijlal |

Hi joerg ,
Its amazing to knw the creek had a visitor like that . In fact i was at creek from 7- 8.30 fishing but on the other side .
The temperature was nice and a soothing breeze was blowing yesterday night . I did pick up a few sea breams last night and a couple of nassers .
I wrote also the last week end was fruitful at palm although the size of the fishes were not that big but it was nice to see so many marine fishes togather at a time . My sinker was not hitting the bottom even . Thats why i wrote due to climate change there are changes in the water too . Hence we can say the season is arriving .
No longer we would be required to watch fishing dvd in the hot summer and can see some real action .
regards

Dear All,
I was very calm the last few days because my girlfriend visit me from Germany and we have a lot things do see....
But what happend yesterday evening was unbelivable.
We where on the creek for a dinner cruise with a dow.
We walk back to the car and there is on the bur side of the creek a white ferry.
As an old fisherman I know that: midnight, light and a ship means that there at least small fishes to see, but what happent?
There was a whale shark. Comes from nothing, at least 4 meter, make a round, came close to the surface, a second round and swim away.
I saw a whale shark in the creek. Inbelivable!
My girl was close to a heard attack and the bad thing was that I dont got my fishing pull with me... |

hi preba ,
It was really great to go fishing with you after such a long gap . I am very happy and would like to thank you for those beautiful qunnies and the butterfly fishes .
I think the season is round the corner as me and preba did have real fun catching a lot of fishes in the palm .
And it was more fun to release all of them except one which i took home for the table .
Seeing so much fishes it seemed to me due to dip in temperature fishing days has begun before predicted .

Dear Ahmed ,
From the rocks in sharjah the best place is behind mamzar park . To approach this area you have to drive behind al tawan mall area after the eppco petrol pump whilecoming back frrom sharjah to dubai lane .
For dubai as season has not come yet the best bet would be marina green ligh area or else yatch club . The area can be approched by car from palm jumeriah side .
Hope this helps .
regards
Pranab

Particular thanks to Ronald for his warm welcome too, and Keyar (hope I spelled it right!), who called me this evening.
I'm a diver, and have seen very few fish diving/snorkelling in the Dubai area this summer. In spring, there were large shoals of mackerel/trevally hunting baitfish in the Dubai Marina/Um Suqeim/Jumeirah area. The last 2 weekends I've seen nothing diving/snorkelling there. Anyone else seen any action!!??
Best regards

Thanks for the warm welcome from Pranab and the regulars on the forum, my cell is 050 743 6477. It's turned off at work 8am - 4pm though!
Pranab, do you have much luck near the DEWA plant, and have you been fishing there recently?
I haven't seen anyone there for a while.
Best regards

Hi Ijlal, Thanks for your mail. Yes I had seen your then photo. Even after 12 years you look quite different (if I had recognized correct, you’re with a cap and T-shirt with red and blue fonds.)Hope to meet you in our next boat trip.
Hi Amir – Thanks, ofcourse we'll meet.
Hi Fishpal – Thanks for the photo, I think the rockfish which Amir said, resembles the one in the photo.
Regards,
Ronald. |

Fishpal,
You got it right.
Sorry Ijlal, I came to know about the name rock fish from this forum. However, the link provided by fishpal is the fish I regularly get at alseef nowadays.
Thanks to both of you guys for you interest. Now I know it is toad fish. |

Hi Amir,
Thanks for your contact number. It was nice speaking to you over the phone.
Ijlal – Thanks a lot for the photographs. I am still guessing who’s who, something for the weekend I guess….ha ha.
Hi Owais – Welcome to this forum. Best of Luck.
I think, it would be a good idea, for all the new comers to introduce themselves so we know each other better. Keep going. Enjoy your fishing.
Regards,
Ronald |

Hi Ijlal,
I have pictures on my cell. But i remember I have seen the picture of the same fish on this forum but I could not trace it.
The fish has a big round head & mouth and the size of the body keep going small. like the shape of "V". The colour is like skin color with small spots on it. But its really slimy & ugly. |

This rock fish is so ugly that i dont attempt to take the hook out even but at times the hook gets released and then I throw them back to the water.
Do let me know if you have plans to go to Alseef. We could meet up there.
My cell is : 050 -8553820 |
