Hallaniyat Island Oman with the SA Crew

[Ocean Active]

                              We had Brad  Arthur and the South African Crew join us in Southern Oman. Brad and Marius  "I Stop Trucks" join us for 2 weeks and the guys caught some amazing  fish. 

The weather was as calm as a milk pond with hardly any current but  the guys put in the effort and caught some nice fish. Marius got a 140cm GT on  a black Hammerhead I-Cup and Brad managed a 135cm GT on a Red Ocean Active  I-Cup. The fishing for the GTs was tough but a big bonus being out on the  island is that we could fish really early and late and was when we got all of  the GTs. After sunrise and before sunset the conditions were to calm and no  fish came up. 

The guys caught a huge range of fish on light tackle and  jig with catching over 100 AJs in one session along with monster Goldens up to  15kgs, grouper, job fish, grunter etc. At one stage the AJs were so thick that  a no. 15 spanner was used!

The guys were happy to try different things and  Marius managed a 32kg Aj on PE1.5, Twin Power 5000 and a Trevela 6.6. Brad also  managed a great 118cm GT on a Ocean Active Plug with a Sustain 5000 and PE1.5.  Great fishing and catches!

Fantastic to have some of the friends from the Dark  Continent. Look forward to the guys trip coming next season!
