Hi Pranab,
how are you ? How was your fishing trip ? any luck ? hope you got some good snaps.
I wish I could have come, but sometimes, I have to keep my commitments to my home too.
I should manage to make time this friday & maybe saturday too.
Heber, do let me know what your plans are. I know I said earlier that Friday is not possible, but looks like I will be able to make it. |

Hi Cleo,
looks like you are a lucky guy to have a holiday on thursday. it would be great to go out fishing on a boat. Have a great trip & please dont empty the ocean. Leave one fish for me to catch :o)
what kind of equipment are you talking about ? anything specific? Are you all geared up for a sea trip ? Please dont forget to take a camera for some nice photos.
Have fun and all the best. |

Yesterday was a great day at Maktoum. Myself, my wife and Keyur were there from 10 am to 2.30 pmand silver grunts were pouring in along with sheris, all of very good size (big). We managed a total of 17 silver grunts between us. Keyur was lucky when he pulled out two grunts in one go. Most of them were sent back to the waters. The Korean guys fishing from the morning had tons of fish, all sorts of them. One of the guys missed a barracuda. It was a nice after noon.
This morning we went to Jumeriah breakwaters at 5.30 am and had a very small catch as mentioned by Keyur. The hammour was a small one. Lost a lot of lines and in all a bad day.
Sorry Pranab, can't make it today as I've planned to finish some other work, before the week starts tomorrow.
Cheers,
Heber

Dear Pranab,
I must say, you should try & read the stars a little better :o)
I had a very good catch yesterday (Friday)at Maktoum bridge. And as proof, Heber was there too. I wont say anything more, just that as promised I didnt keep any fish, but gave it all to Heber. Heber will tell you how much fish we caught. I got @ 7 Big Silver Grunts, besided some Sherii. Heber too caught some silver grunts. We have photos of the catch & I'll probably post them when I get some time.
Today was a horrible day to fish. I got a few bites, but nothing great. I managed to catch 5 sherii in 4 hours, while Heber too got a couple of sherii, 1 hamour & 1 khoffer. We went to Jumeirah break waters. |

THANKS TO MR PERNAB WE MET AT MAKTOUM BRIDGE AND BACOME FRIEND.
YESTERDAY I HAVE BEEN TO JUMEIRAH 5 WEATHER OK BUT SEA WAS LITLE ROUGH. AS I STARTED FISHING ON MY FIRST THRIOUGH NEXT 2 TO THREE MINTS I BIG KITE FISH IN FACT HOOKED ME AND I KNEW WITH MY EXPERENCE THAT IT IS A KITE FISH ONCE IT START MOVING IT MOVES ONLY AND IF IT GETS A CHANCE TO GO GOUND THEN IT STICKS TO GROUND AND YOU CANT PULL IT AT ALL SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME I WAITED FOR SOME TIME FOR THE FISH TO MOVE BUT NO WAY THEN I KEPT MY LINE TIGHT AND THEN PLAY LIKE A GITAR WHICH GIGLED FISH TO MOVE AND THEN I MANAGED TO PULL THE FISH IT WAS AROUND 9-10 KGS I BROUGHT IT OUT OP TO THE STONES TO TAKE OUT THE HOOK YOU NEED A GALF HOOK TO LIFT FISH YOUR LINE CANT SPORT YOU TO LIFT FISH EVEN YOU HAVE A STRONG LINE. AFTER TAKING THE HOOK I JUST RELEASED THE FISH BACK TO WATER.
THEN I MANAGED 5 BARA CUDDA 12" TO 15" OF SIZE TO CATCH BARA CUDDA I AM SHORE THAT YOU ALL MUST BE KNOWING TO USE FISHING HOOK WITH STEEL WIRE. MORE OVER TO GO TO THIS TYPE OF PLACE YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME ONE WITH YOU ALL THE TIME. I USED SMALL BANGRA WHICH IS CALLED SEEMA IN FISH MARKET FOR ONE FISHING YOU NEED ONE TO TWO KG FISH FOR TWO PERSON. YOU CAN USE UMMA (SARDINE) BUT IT IS TOO SOFT.
ANY HOW GOOD FISHING AND GOOD LUCK. |

hi keyur ,
AL SHEEF SPOT LOCATION :
The best way to reach this spot drive from burjuman side towards strand cinema signal an take left from there towards the creek , then take the first right cut as u approach the creek , when you will see a small bus parking kind of thing . At the back of it will be the small abra counter . and there are 3 jettys going out in the water which are build new there are also two small one but they are used by abra guys . Take the last newly built jetty which has got a gargash ( mercedez benz boat tied to it ) . Walk up to the end of the jetty and cast . A good cast will take u exactly middle of the creek water . fishes you can except here are medium size cat fishes and very decent size sheris . This area dont hv weeks like the makthoum area . And the best part is your hooks will never get stuck here , this thing i like most . I am driving to oman kalba this week end to test omani waters . So happy fishing guys at dubai . Sorry i will miss this weekend here . But saturday morning i am open if its early morning like 4.30 till 8.30. For your information saturday which is 21 take my words will be very very good . So please get ready to whhooop your rods and expect some sweating on 21,22,23 .
By the way althoght my predection on friday is bad day but do let me know if you happen to catch more than 6 fish on friday morning or even in afternoon. From late evening things will improve specially with high tide at the second half of the day .
Hey dont kill me if my predections are wrong . I am just trying and playing around with the chart buddy .
HAPPY FISHING |

ART OF RELEASING THE HOOKS FROM THE ROCKS
yesterday while we were fishing due to bad throw from firaz twice the hooks were stuck in the rocks . Even i thought we have to break the line . But then we had Mr Naveed our new friend from islamabad . I just thought as he fishes in this area why not ask him .
So here is the lesson . He took the rod from my hand and sat down kneeling on the rock . Lowered the tip of the rod and released the drag and released the bale . Just flicked the line for a couple of time . Amazing result . It came off within 2 mins . Each day as i watch experienced fisherman from different countries of different nationalities i wonder how much i hv to learn about fishing and its rightly said a fishermans paradise is like a wide open ocean .
Yesterday i learnt two important things . Although its a bad day and we managed only 4 fishes which went exactly in line with my predection .
1) BE PATIENT
2) CHANGE RIGGING STYLE IT ITS NOT WORKING FR LONG
3) SWITCH BATE AND CARRY THREE TO FOUR KIND BATE
EXAMPLE WE USED IN ONE LINE 3 HOOKS AND INITIALLY WE USED ONLY NAGAR . WHEN IT DID NOT WORK WE USED ONE HOOK NAGAR , ONE BHANGRA , ONE SHRIMP . WE NOTICED THAT BHANGRA HAVE BEEN TAKEN ALL THE TIME . EXCEPT ONE TIME WHEN NAGAR WAS TAKEN BY CAT FISH . SO WHAT WE LEARNT ON DIFF DAYS DIFF KIND OF FISH IS MORE AND WE MUST SWITCH THE BATES IF ITS NOT WORKING . IT MEANS THT KIND OF FISH IS NOT THEN IN THAT AREA . FOR YOUR INFORMATION WE HAD ALSO UMA ALONG WITH US FOR ANOTHER OPTION .
ANY WAY IT WAS A GREAT TIME FISHING YESTERDAY NIGHT AND I PAY MY SINCERE REGARDS TO MR NAVEED AND MY NEW TAZAKI FRIEND MOHAMMED . WIHOUT THEIR ASSISTANCE IT WOULD HV BEEN A DEAD NIGHT FOR ME.
BY THE WAY IF ANY ONE CATCHES MORE THAN 5 FISH TODAY AND TOMORROW PLS LET ME KNW BECAUSE MY PREDECTION GOES TODAY AND TOMORROW WILL BE THE MOST DULL DAYS OF THE MONTH .
BUT I NEED THE DATA FOR THE RESEARCH OF FISH CALENDER SO PLS FRIENDS DO HELP ME ON THAT .
IN THE MEAN TIME I THINK I GO FOR CAMPING ON THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY S 66 THROUGH THE BEAUTIFUL VALLEY OF WADI HOOLOO WITH THE PICTURIOUS BACKDROP OF SEIKH SHAMMAR PALACE TO MY DREAM FISHING DESTINATION OF KALBA IN OMAN . I WNT TO CHECK OUT WHT IS THE EFFECT OF DULL DAYS IN THE FISH PARADISE OF KALBA .
LOT OF GUYS MUST BE WONDERING WHT GIVES ME SO MUCH OF ENERGY TO FISH FOR 6 HOURS AT NIGHT TILL 2 AND THEN BE BACK IN OFFICE AT 7.30 TO WRITE THESE POSTS . BUT MAN THIS IS IT FISHING IS ADDICTIVE AND IT REALLY REALLY PUMPS INTO YOU ENERGY . PEOPLE AT WORK TELL ME I AM MORE ACTIVE AFTER I WENT INTO THIS SPORTS .
FIROZ PLS UPLOAD THE PICS OF THE YESTERDAYS CATCH .
HAPPY FISHING
HAPPY FISHING

hi keyur ,
Yes the real price is usd 89 . I did not use it but i hv heard its a good reel . Yes i did go for fishing wednesday knowing well as per my predections till 20 it will be dull but i had to get the data for the DUBAI FISH CALENDER .
I did go yesterday because i wanted to show firoz how to make long casts and also because Mr Naveed who is our new friend from pakistan who had been fishing for the last 8 yrs in hamriya corniche , i could not resist myself to learn from his rich experience . So me Mr Naveed ,Feroz and salman well for the kill in . Biting was bad as predicted .
We had to stare at the vast ocean when first the rod which i threw which is actually feroz got a bite and we hooked up the first one . It was a sheri but as feroz is new into rod fishing he lost it while trying to land the fish . But the fish was out of water almost whn he lost it .
Then came the interesting part . Few intermittent bite and then i got a fighting cat fish on my rod . Then again all quite all bites gone . I suddenly saw a kazai guy introduced himself to me as moh . I knew from the glitter in his eyes that he is a avid fisherman . He told can he throw the rod. Which he threw but the bate landed near his feet .
I never underestimate people . Still something told me that he has fish knowledge . And how correct i was . I told him i will teach him to make long casts if he ties up my rig because i was lazy . I noticed he has a special kind of tying rigs . He insisted on size 5 hooks and he tied the rigs in 1 feet intervals which apprantly seemed to me very long and then again 1 feet and the stone . We put bhangra as bait but here is the trick he cut them in very small pieces and pierced along the hooks so no part of the hooks can be seen . A real art of a fisherman which made me so curious . I took the rod as the wild iranian wind hit my face and i tasted salt . God what a result while we were taking of going home . Moh insted to sit a little more . And wow i senced the line it was pulling . And imagine me and Mr naveed both struggled to land this one . No its not one 2 sting rays togather . It made our day . Sorry it was moh day who is apparently dont know hot to hold a rod . It was the victory of his fishing sence . Its not the end within 20 mins more i picked up a huge sting ray . The pictures all of them will be posted by feroz because he had a camera phone .
But at last i must say i hv to learn a lot of things because which made me sad is . I dont know the technique how to open a hook from a sting ray. All the time they swallow the hook completely . I think my striking of the rod was a bit late which i must improve so the hook is near its lip not all the way deep inside . I really wanted to release them as i dont eat them . But practice makes a man perfect . Specially a novice like me in this sport.
Any ways this is the fishig enviormetnt today.

HI Pranab,
the red colour fish in all probability could be a red snapper. Although I have not seen anyone catch any here, I know they exist. the other probability is that it could be a red hamour, which is more common than the red snapper in this part of the world. However, I havent seen them grow more than a foot long.
Another thing that confuses me a lot ......are the guys here for sport fishing, to relax by fishing, for hobby fishing, for passion of fishing or what ???
some of you guys are soooooooo deeply involved with lures, lines, reels, rods, that you forget about the fish.
I know that I enjoy fishing & I'm doing just that. Hope I can find some company of people who can just chill out & catch some fish :o) |

Hi,
has anyone used a Diawa D-shock 3500 reel ?
any feeldback / info please.
I have purchased one from the US & have no clue what the actual price is. I have heard people tell me that it cost @ USD 139 & others have told me USD89. Any idea ?
Warm regards,
Keyur |

Pranab,
I have the XH one and I didnt pay for it as I am Field Tester, I get products to test and keep them for free provided i Provide an openion about them. I only paid for the reel which is around $400.
as for the difference between them ....It's the weight handling and strength.
If you want a cheaper setup ...try basspro.com and go for the Ocean Mast cape point or ocean master light rods in the 12ft range and matched with a Diawa Emcat plus or Emcast pro. Much cheaper and you can handle up to 6ft shark.
for casting tech. try with over the head and go OTG ( Off the Ground) and once you only perfect OTG then you can go for the Pendlum cast.
Thanks and Good luck |

Dear Keyur,
It's so nice to see that the Catch and Release is followed and we only keep what we want to eat. I could not tell if the fish were alive or not form the picture. But the buttom line is we conserve our natural resources so our future generations still experience the the same that we are.
Thanks and Good Luck on your next fishing trip.

Dear Rami,
I see that you are a conservationalist. So am I. I only take what I will eat. Not sure if you noticed. But the big silver fish (Silver grunt), is the same one in the basket. yes, even that looks small. So you see the sherri that were in the basket were not all that small. Morever, I do not have the habbit of holding the camera close to the fish to make them look big. Never the less, ever single fish in the basket (when photographed) was alive. I keep all the fish alive, till I decide what I will take home & what I will release. If you ask Pranab, when I met him, I was even going the release the bigger looking sherri that we caught, because I thought it was small.
I know that most people catch jeuvenile fish & I hate that. Besides, this weekend when I go fishing, I will not be keeping any fish for myself, as I already have fish at home. Fishing for me is a passion & I plan on enjoying it without others teaching me the finer points in life. |

Hi Pranab,
For a start, you can try overhead casting and gradually move to pendulum casting. Change the tip to SIC. Please ensure that you have a shock leader upfront else you be expecting to have alots of burst line during your attempts to perfect it.
A good combination of 40lbs shockline and a 18lbs backing would be excellent if you can, with a spinning reel and also reminded to reduce the line slapping on the rod particularly with spinning.
A multiplier would be a good choice for such distance casting. Try Daiwa SLX20XH which has been proven for almost 20 years with much modification to suit surf casting.
We spoke briefly on Al Seef Jetty.

Hi guys ,
where are your catch reports . Although i said yesterday would be a dull day but i could not control my self when i went to change firoz surf road in deira market . I sat at the sindagha underpass spot and ohh god . With the first thow i got a bite . It was about 7 in the evening. I was fishing alone there with a group of people behind me curious . I caught a red coloured fish i dont knw the name . And it fought like hell . But the saddest part . With my second throw i lost my rig and while i was busy retreving it some one stole that lovely fish can u just imagine . So i see thieves are active here after the great wafi robbery . Any way met a person named Mr navid whom i plan to bring in the forum . I am impresssed by his baracuda stories and planning a join fishing trip togather .
Still cant forget tht big red fish . Unfrotunately i dont hv a camera phone other wise some one could hv told wht fish is that
