Pranab, To answer your quesdtion, Do you use a casting outfit or a spinning outfit? In windy days a spinning outfit is better than a casting although you dont get much distance with spinning rather than casting. Also, casting a long the wind or not ...debends on what are you trying to catch. Normally the wind is your friend if you want distance, so cast with the wind direction.
You need to give more details about what are you using as lures, bottom or surface ? what type of fishing are you following ?
Thanks |

TO ALL OLD MEMBERS ,
COULD ANY ONE HELP ABOUT THIS . I HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT CASTING AGAINST THE WIND IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT SO ITS WISE TO CAST ALONG WITH THE WIND DIRECTION . MY QUESTION IS , DOES CASTING ALONG WITH THE WIND DIRECTION INCREASES YOU CHANCES OF GETTING A FISH BITE ON UR HOOK . I MOSTLY CAST FROM STONES NEAR THE SEA SIDES .
MY NEXT QUESTION , IS IT WISE TO CASTE OUTSIDE THE STONE IN THE OPEN SEA OR TO CASTE INSIDE THE STONE ENCLOSER WHERE IT FORMS A ENCLOUSER . WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF SOME OF THE EXPERIENCED ANGLERS HELP ME OUT ON THIS . MR JEEN , HEBER ,MICHEL RALPH , AMIR , BIJU HEY PLEASE HELP ME OUT ON THIS ONE PLS

Hi ,
Today i dont have any fishing buddy to go with me to the beach for nightfishing so just thought to write what i am learing since past weeks.
WHEN TO GO FOR FISHING
Generally, any time you can. Fish feed all the time. but if you'd like to better your odds of having a successful shore fishing trip, right before or after a change in air pressure is ideal (before or after it rains is a great time to head out to the water).
I know a lot of older fishermen who swear by the moon phases. 3 days before, during, and 3 days after a new moon.
Others say 3 days before, during, and 3 days after a full moon.
Fish are usually easier to catch at low light periods. From dawn to 3 hours after, and 3 hours before till dusk are great fishing times.
Night fishing is also a blast, but make sure you have a flashlight or headlamp. Also check the fire regulations if you plan on building a fire. Never, ever leave a fishing spot until you are sure the entire fire is out. Too much of our natural resources burn every year because someone "thought they put the fire out", or they "thought it would burn itself out". Don't take the chance. It only takes a few extra minutes to put it out right, but a generation to bring it back.
Cloudy days, with a lite breeze offer a great chance to catch fish all day. They are usually active most of the day feeding, or just moving around.
Clear calm days without a ripple on the water will produce fish, but the amount of fish may not be as good as when there are some ripples on the water.
If the water your fishing in is murky or dark, use darker baits or hooks.
If you are fishing in clear water, you'll probably do better with a bright colored lure.
General rule of thumb: clear sunny days-use brighter, colorful, shiny bait; dark overcast days - use dull, darker colored bait.
But rules of thumb are just a starting point, nobody said you have to stick to them.

Hi guys ,
Just wanted to share a few things tht i learned in the past few weeks .
BAITS TO USE : SARDINE ,GAFF FISH , SQUID , LIVE PRAWN,
ATTA WITH DRIED DRIED PRAWN (AVAIL ABLE IN 3 DHS PACKED IN KERALITE GROCERY STORES ) THE LAST ITEM ONLY FOR SMALL FISHES NEAR ROCKS NOT MEANT FOR LONG CAST AREAS.
BESIDES THIS IN GENERAL :
The more natural the bait the better. I've found night crawlers (big worms) and minnows (small fish) work fine most of the time. Whatever natural bait is avaiable on a specific body of water will produce fish.
Sometimes the fish are not activley feeding. These times call for lures that will cause the fish to "strike" just out of instinct. Some flashy lures (spoons, jigs, spinner baits, and crank baits) are designed to make fish bite even when they're not feeding, due to sound, motion, and color.
Every tackle box I own will always have various size jigs and soft plastic worms in them. They are a good standard when nothing else seems to work. I've seen a number of different species caught on different colored jig heads matched with different colored plastic worms. |

Its almost 2 weeks now since i started this new sport . Its really great . I am enjoying every minute . Just wanted to share some fishing spots that i discovered which streaches from jebel ali to manzar park .
1 IN AND AROUND JEBEL ALI - GUNTOOT A PLACE AFTER JEBEL ALI FREE ZONE AND INSIDE JEBEL ALI FZE AFTER 10 ROUND ABOUT NEAR AT THE EXTREME END OF THE HYUNDAI NEW JETTY . NEAR THE BEACH OF JEBEL ALI BEACH HOTEL IS ALSO A NICE SPOT .
2. DUBAI MARINA
3 AREAS AROUND PALM ISLAND IS NOT A GOOD SPORT AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE OF CONSTRUCTION
4. UMM SEQUEIM FISHING VILLAGE -
THERE ARE 2 STONE PIER JUTTING OUT INTO THE
SEA . BOTH OF THEM LITTLE ROUGH SO BE CAREFUL
WHILE WALKING ON TOP OF THEM BUT INTERESTING
SPOT . YOU CAN EXPECT SNAPPERS AND OTHER SMALL
AND MEDIUM SIZE FISHES HERE . LOCATION BEHIND
EMARAT PETROL PUMP ADJACENT TO BURJ AL ARAB .
THERE IS A FISHING VILLAGE ALSO HERE WITH LOT
OF BOATS GOING OUT FOR FISHING.
5 OPPOSITE JUMERIAH 1 AREA - LAND MARK ON THE
BEACH ROAD YELLOW COLOURED ARABIC NEWLY CONSTRUCTED VILLAS . THERE IS A FISHING VILLAGE HERE ALSO AND THE LAND MARK IS THERE ARE TWO STONE PIERS GOING OUT IN THE SEA . EASY WAY TO LOCATE THIS AREA ON THE BEACH ROAD ITS AFTER MARCATO WHILE YOU DRIVE ALONG BEACH ROAD FRM DUBAI TO BURJ AL ARAB SIDE .
6 ONE SINGLE STONE PIER GOING OUT IN THE SEA -
THIS AREA IS JUST AFTER OPEN BEACH . ITS SANDWITCHED BETWEEN THE LAST MENTIONED SPOT AND OPEN BEACH . VERY LONELY PLACE CALM AND QUITE
7 OPEN BEACH - OPPOSITE TO JEMERIA SPINNYS AFTER DUBAI MARINE HOTEL . THE SPOT IS AT THE END OF THE OPEN BEACH A STONEY EMBANKMENT .
8 BEACH OPPOSITE FISH MARKET

Hi Guys,
I see a lot of excitement into most of you all!!
Really happy to see the same, well I am not a pro, but I could answer a lot of your questions.
So let’s start!!
Fishing Spots:
Dubai :- One of the best place a) Dubai Creek - But hold on guys with no license, be careful, very regular checks. But, Dubai overall be careful without license, I have encountered checks all locations.
Let’s get back to Dubai Creek, at this place, your hooks / weights would never be stuck in water and you could expect all kinds of fish, from Barracuda, Cat fish, Hamoor (Not often), Sheri, etc.
Maktoum / Gharoud bridge: - These two are good places, however it’s a continuation of Dubai Creek, and hence the same ground.
Jadaff: - Very exciting place, but you would encounter too many ropes from small boats and now a lot of construction!! But due to water being deep to shallow, you could expect some really healthy catch, as they come in search of small fishes.
Other locations: - Behind Hayat regency, Jumeirah (Not very exciting), Mumzar,
Other Emirates: - Fujairah / RAK / AUH (Excellent place), Shj & Ajman not much exciting for “BIG GAME”
Dibba: - Open to ocean, attracts all kinds of fish, especially deep sea fishes. (You would not go empty hand, unless nature challenges you!!!)
Baits: - Very tricky to say, the best bait, also because, it depends which fish and what size are you interested into!!
However, fresh shrimps are very good for attracting a large variety of fishes.
Go for bottom feeders and squids act good!
Go for Hamoor and sardines are best!
Sardines are also good for various other kinds of fishes; however the drawback is that the body does not remain stiff in water and is easily eaten by small fishes.
The best way to use Sardines other than for Hamoor is to freshly buy them, salt them and soak in the newspaper and dry for a half a day, now they are stiff and would hold on for other kinds of fish!!
Hooks / Rods / Weights: Very very difficult to identify, since this is entirely dependent on the size of fish intended and the water conditions you would be catching in!!
As a novice, go for the hook size # 10 and weight size # 3, and the line # 0.5, this would serve most of your basic needs with small to medium fishes and different water conditions.
Wow, a bit exhausted, would go for now!!
Please do let me know, if this information, was somehow useful to you guys? |

Hey guys,
After finally heading out to various spots, I got a pretty decent "singra" as they call it in Pakistan.
Hey Ali Reza, I would rather use Fresh prawns for fishing if you would want to catch some good & big edible fish.
Hey Parandbas, Ive not tried it myself but Ive heard theres a good spot somewhere near Jumeirah Marina, plus fishing below the Maktoom Bridge is pretty good too, though its a very very patient spot. |

Hi guys,
Faraz here, Im new to this forum so I'm gonna try me best to be regular. I'm practically new to fishing aswell in a professional manner, I just picked a beginners rod so I was hoping to get some help here. I usually fish off the Bur-Dubai corniche at late nights but havent caught anything interesting. The last time I went fishing was about 4 years ago at the same spot using a Coke can,a reel,a weight and some hooks. Ive always used shrimp and cut-prawns as bait and used to catch decent "sherry" fish with this stuff. I really want to get into this sport and need to learn alot. So any kinda tips are more than welcome.
Cheers,
Faraz. |

Hi Guys,
A few pics of the barracuda and kingfish caught off the coast of RAK (may 2006). With the RAK hilton they have a really good setup for 750/-AED(2 persons) for 5-6 hrs of good fishing includes dnr for 2 made with your catch  |

Hi David, there are many places to find equipment. I get most of my stuff from a little shop across the jumeirah beach centre (beach road) next to the pet shop. Their prices are reasonable. It saves me the trip to go into town (Deira) as the traffic is a killer. If you want bait you can buy it at carefour, spinneys or choitram shops (sardines, squid, etc) or cheaper at the fish market next to the creek underpass.
I know you coming for a vacation, but don't forget that you need a fishing license to fish from the surf in Dubai. |

Biju, great catch!! I am sure you would agree with me that "Most of such incidents happen through accident" and one learns a great deal from them.
However, these catches encourage you to go more in depth of learning and creating your own fishing world!! All the best mate, sometime we could join together.
Walid, Fishing is not about teaching, it’s about learning.
Walid, for your information, in UAE, I have hardly come across spots which are not good for fishing, you need to learn the area well including the habitat of the fishes to catch the desired fish Once you learn the habitat, you learn the different ways of attracting these fishes.
To learn the methods of fishing you could also buy the fishing encyclopedia available at most book stores, but would that help without the effort of being there? We all create our own new ways of getting across the desired fish; you need to be persistent and very observant of the water world around you!! All the best to you too mate and let’s see if we all could join sometimes |

Unexpected catch! A resonable Baracuda. I was trying to catch some Bream at the sharjah with Shrimp Bait. I had two rods. both having same tackle & Bait. 33lb main line. Dropper rig with 2 hooks on .5mm leader and 1.5ounce sinker. I got a small bite on one of the line and i gave a small jerk to set the hook. I could feel a small one hooked. By the time I got a big bite on the other rod and I left the previous rod which had a small fish and rushed to the big bite. I hurried and the hook was not set. finally No fish! Then I came to the first rod and was reelling in the hooked fish. All of a sudden my rod arched like a half circle and my reel started screaming on the drag. I know it was big. It took almost 100m of line out of the reel and gradually slowed down. I started pumping in. and in next 10 minuts it came almost 5m close to the pier where I was fishing. I saw him. A cool 1.25m long Baracuda!!. I was not having a Gaff and lifting him out from 2m hieght will result in breaking my rod or line. I decided to land him in the near by beach. I started moving towards the beach but has to pass through about 12 people fishing between me and beach, on the pier. It took me about 15mts to pass under the other lines. All angelers on the pier cooperated me by lifting their rods and giving me enough room to pass underneth. During this exercise our Cuda game me several small runs.I finally landed him safe in the beach.
Now the real fact - He has gobbled the samll fish that was on my line and my other hook got set into near his dorsal fin. That is how a 6.5kg Baracuda came up on a mono! It was shear luck to catch a good size baracuda without wire leaders!! Please see the picture I took on my phone.
Happy fishing to all! - Biju |

Hi Guys,
What about you make your postings a bit more interesting and informative? tell us where did you catch the fish, what bait did you use, any special/new techniques, etc.....instead of just a photo of a dead fish....
Thanks. |

Hi Rami!! I would completely agree with you on this one, and I believe, the polciy of "Catch & Release" should be followed by all, unless it is kept on the table.
Apparently, I have got a team, who specialize in cooking all kinds of fish, sharks, eel, catfish, etc.
However, did not get the correct recipie for Ray! If anybody knows the same please do share.
By the way, check out the one of the catches at Fujairah!!   |

Nice catch Amir, I see you are using a Gaff to hold the fish. That's really a nice fish ...but did you catch it for fun or consumption? If we're not fishing to put fish on the table, we need to ensure the proper release of the catch unharmed so we can enjoy the sport for many generations to come.
Good luck |
