Dubai light jigging

[Ocean Active]

                              Dubai  is a destination more known for its shiny buildings, great shopping and night  life. But Dubai is also an excellent fishing destination. We have our shop in  Dubai and do a quite a bit of fishing around Dubai when time allows and we are  not off on trips.

Over  the last couple of months we have started to do some light jigging in and  around the Palm Islands and a bit further offshore with some great results with  trevally, grouper, queenfish and also the ever present barracuda! I think where  ever you go and put in an expensive lure the cuda will be there!!

We  have been trying out a lot of light gear like Maxel, Accurate, Shout and the  results have been really good with a range of fish and some decent fish coming  to the boat. We have received a few hidings but all part of the fun.


A  great thing fishing in Dubai is it is easy and you have some amazing views!  Burj Al Arab 7 star hotel, not a bad backdrop!

Heading  out early morning

Big  queen on a small jig

Big  Malabar Trevally on my fast becoming favourite jig Shout Lighten Pink

Good  sized Spangled Emperor, awesome fun on the light tackle!

Couple  of brown spotted grouper (hamour) caught on jig.

In  the coming months we will have our new boats in Dubai and really focus on some  new areas and light jigging. We can't chase the GTs all the time but this does  definitely fill the time and great fun!

Cheers,
Nick

Prego, thought it would be hard to get me away from the GTs, but find myself sneaking over a small jig or two when GT fishing is slow, awesome fun on the right gear!
