2015 - Queens
« on: October 02, 2015, 10:48:22 AM »
Its just over two years now that I 1st caught queenfish from the rocks here in Saudi on the Percian gulf.


The water temprature has been high for this time if the year...


A month ago it was still 34C but it finally started to drop a bit amd this week with the water arouns 32.5C the queens arrived.


I used my Cape Cod Special Black Hole 10.6 Nano rod paired it with my Sustain 6000 with 30 lbs braid.


This morning I decided to run the 100g Darkstar Amano to start off with.


The rod launch the Amano a good distance and with the Amano running on the surface something similar than a GT icecream difference is I can give it a pop inbetween as well.


Just after sun rise a very nice Queen hit the lure.








She weighed in at 9kg and a bunch of guys will be eating good tonight

Well done G!

What's the best way to cook it? Like a stew?!?

Thanks John,


In the past I filleted the fish and did the normal fresh fish pan thing.


The one of yesterday was delivered to the guys at the camp mess.


I have promised them a long time ago I will bring them some fresh fish if I catch again.


The Filipino sheffs will definitely cook it differently from what we are used too.


I will ask them later today what they did with the fish.

Well Done Gerhard! That's a nice fish!
FYI, here in Singapore they are still quite plentiful because the Chinese won't eat them because they resemble a holy fish.  You never see them in the fish markets.
