Eagle-eye Joerg. Being my first Barracuda, I wanted to give it a taste before I went home and fried it.

Hi all.
Ijlal: Nice catch. How have u been.
Pranab: Whats up. Why havent u been active like before.
Anyways Im back, missed fishing. Caught this during the weekend. Its not that special, but is my first Barracuda. A Pickhandle Barracuda.
Actually, I caught 2 and missed another 2. The one in the pic was caught with Sardine bait and my second with a Rapala.

I also got a strong bite on another Sardine bait and lost the fish between the rocks, believe it was Grouper or Snapper.
See u soon. |

Hey Shahzad,
Cool down yaar! I believe it is his first ever king, so let him be excited, and let him be the Scrooge himself. Who cares? Are we not catching good fish? I also believe he has never seen a 10 kg kingfish, but I can tell you from my experience, his fish is under 5kg. It is definitely smaller than the one you caught from Musaffah, and we did weigh that fish at 5kg.
I have been trying to be nice to him and did congratulate him on his recent catches but he never had the decency to say a single kind word when I posted mine. Why should you expect anything nice from a person who does not display any traits of being a gentleman, huh?
Cheer up pal, the weekend's coming up soon!

hi udupa,
thanks for your INFORMATION.now i realized why u waited so long for this monster.
because the purpose of this forum is to share the information and help each other.and v r doing the same and also in the future.so its not mean that my or any other angler fishing is stopped due to without your information.
last weekend me, ijlal and another friend went to AL ARYAM and v caught lot of fishes queen, grunt, emperor, flat head and some other species.that spot is 75kms from Abu dhabi.but i m not scared to tell the spot.because i believe GOD IS GREAT IF YOU WORK HARD WITH HONESTY 'LL GIVE U FRUIT.
ok keep your spot secret v r not taking out all fishes from your spot.
send some more so called MONSTER reports from your secret spot.
take care...............

Guys,
Apologies for the delay in posting as I have been a tad busy
It seems that you all have different views on my pricing. I simply do a few charters to keep the boat running and do not treat it as a business. There were a few questions about yellowfin tuna. Thay have not started running yet (fujairah) but last year we started catching them around end november. However there have been a lot of Dorado and a couple of Sailfish caught aswell a 2 Marlin.
Hopefully I will have the boat at Fujairah marine centre next week.
The fishing off this coast (Ajman, Dubai etc) is pretty poor although there are a few kingfish around.
If anyone fancies a trip out then I'll do a trip for 400 per person max 2 people. Don't expect to be going out on a Hatteras!!

Hello Amir,
No, I never went to the "khadda" (continental shelf) back in Karachi as it was beyond my resources at that time, so never had a go at the billfish or big tunas. The fish I did catch on 20 lb line was a cobia weighing 123 lb and I had posted a link to the photo on this forum a few months ago.

Dear Owais,
I do pull peoples' legs sometimes for the sake of adding spice to the forum and I do fight back when somebody tries to be over-smart, but in reality I am a very humble person.
I hereby declare publicly this fish and any other fish I have caught in my life have all been gifts from God, and no achievement of mine. Ask people who have fished with me...
I appreciate your post but the fact remains I am not anybody's guru so please do not embarass me by saying so. The fact is I continue to learn everyday and still feel I know very little. I may have had more experience and based on that I shall continue to help you or anybody else on anything I know about but will never accept that title as it makes me feel an imposter.
hope you and all others understand what I mean.
Best regards,
Ijlal |

Hi Ijlal,
My cousin Ali was telling me that you were one of the few persons in Pakistan who had caught a big marlin or tuna with a very light tackle in think a 20 lb line or something like that.
Can you share this story in details with us.

Rami,
I am not sure if this one touched 40, more likely nearer to 32-34. Since we had a long way to travel back to Abu Dhabi, and one of our team members had to go to Sharjah, we took all the fish to Dibba fish market and got it cleaned and cut. We did try to get it weighed but their scale was good for 10 kg only. when we put the fish on it, the pointer moved to 9kg again after completing its first round. It was getting late, otherwise we would have cut it into smaller pieces and weighed the individual pieces.
As for the fight, you know these fish are not the strongest of fighters but the first runs are blistering fast. I think I had it by the side of the boat, ready for gaffing within 2-3 minutes. I was using 20 lb tackle, and a 5-6 lb of drag is good enough to break the back of these fish on the initial run.
If you think this was a tournament winner, you should have seen the kingfish lying at the Mina that morning - Probably brought in by some commercial fisherman, man it would have tipped the scales past 80!
Thanks,
Ijlal |

Hello Casper, Dave, Rami,
Thank you for your compliments.
Actually I did post a report on Sunday regarding my Dibba trip; apparently, nobody noticed, probably linked it to previous (last year's) pictures that were posted in response to Udupa. Kindly scroll down the page to my post of November 4 and you will get all the details.
Best luck to you all on the coming weekend!

Ijlal,
Very nice catch, that's a quality smoker king. How was his fight and how many times did he run?
by looking at the picture i can say it's in 40lb range if not evern more. this fish is a tournament winner for sure.
Nice catch |

Hi Bart, yes it looked very much like that one.
I must have caught the Daddy Mac of all Needlefish as my one was roughly 1m50cm in length. Caught on bright yellow rapala by the way. |

Dave,
Think you mite be reffering to one of the larger species of needle fish (or gar fish?!)found here... check the link if its the same one?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needlefish
ive seen them grow big to around 5 kg further offshore... theyre quiet aggressive and careful handling them coz they can swing round and give you a nasty bite!
haha looks like Rami has proved me wrong about the lure! do let me know if u get some good results with it please...
tim both the fish you caught are good fighters but as far as i know their not great eating fish... just my personal opinion though and im sure some of the guys mite disagree..? |

Lads years ago I caught a fish in Bahrain which, to this day, am not sure what it's called!
It was about 1.5m long and very much looked like a barracuda. The difference is that it had 'needle-like beak' and not the usual barracuda thick-set lower jaw. It was a heck of a fighter though, and jumped up several times. Probably the most beautiful fish I ever caught, and I almost felt guilty afterwards.
Any of you know what I'm talking about?

Hello Tim,
The second picture is one of the sting/whip rays; however from the picture you have posted, it is difficult to identify the exact specie but be careful when handling these fish. The spike on the tail is poisonous; a sting is very painful at best and fatal at worst. Remember Steve Irwin "The Crocodile Hunter?"
The first fish as pointed out by Bart is the common sea cat we get over here though I am not sure about the exact name.
Just my two cents..

Hi Rami,
Yes, that's exactly it (Williamson not Wilkinson). I really look forward to testing it now that you say it's effective for Kings. Any other tips related to that are, of course, welcome.

Dave,
That lure is a trolling ribbon fish made by williamson. it's very effective for kings.
While fishing for smoker kings, it's alway better to use live bait. and the best is a live ribbon fish using wire and tribble hooks. If ribbon are not available, Then I'll try the lure. But the action on the live one is much much better. During tournament season, the price of live ribbbon fish sky rockects by live fish dealer selling to tournament anglers.
Good Luck
Ijlal,
I might be visiting Abu Dhabi in 3 weeks or so. I'd like to go fishing with you. |
