Interested ...I ache to go fishing but till now I did not find the interested people and personally I do not have a fishing boat.
My experience about fishing spots is zero.
Good luck

Fishing ...I was actually looking for a good spot too. Heard the location at Wakra is good, else u gotta drive up to Khor.
jauntie said
stw78 ...Hi! If you go into the Social Group (click on Groups, above here) you will find some threads about fishing - not sea fishing, though. However, I did see someone in one of the threads saying he knew some good fishing places.
Have a look. If you don't see anything just put your question re lure fishing to the people in the threads which discuss fishing, I'm sure someone will answer.
Good luck!
stw78 said
Thanks ...Thanks sanjeev and jauntie ... will take a look at your suggestions...hope to wet some lines soon :)
Cheers

KellysHeroes said
sasa412 ...How are you my friend.
I did not forget you. Check my thread date, a bit old.
Well, we did not go any fishing trips except for that to Wakra which was 2 or 3 weeks ago.
Take care and hope to get together soon.

still waiting for the ...still waiting for the weather getting cooler ... than KellyHeroes and Darude can take me and my family for crab hunting.
sasa412 said
kelly ...i went last week to wkra it was fun and nice maybe i will do it again next week end waiting for another fish trip together
missing your coffee
regards
jauntie said
Yes Novita ...I was very envious when they all went off 'crabbing'. There is something about the sea and early mornings that is so fresh and nice and healthy feeling (says she who hasn't been to the seaside at dawn since last time she was at an all night party in Brighton lol).
Seriously - would be great, once some of the others are back from their holidays, to get a trip going. Lots seemed interested including some of us ladies. Scarlett is positively beside herself with wanting to go fishing :D
KellysHeroes said
Novi, Sasa & jauntie ...Novi. We have suspended our fishing activities. It will be fun when families join in he coming trips.
Sasa. Looking forward for future trips, it will be my pleasure as always to be the coffee contractor:)
jauntie. Now you are making us feel guilty and betrayal.
You are right about early morning at the sea. Very healthy. Although am much into sleeping late and lazy at weekends, when I used to go with friends for dep sea fishing, It was very interesting feeling. You feel very fresh and alert and hopeful watching the sunrise in the middle of te sea.
novita77 said
kelly ...does fishing have to do in the morning ... i think i will have a hard time to wake hubby up at 4am ... :-(
KellysHeroes said
Novi ...That's the idea behind going early :D
Well you have many options:
1. Do not let him sleep
2. Do not go fishing
3. Go fishing late.
In fact Novi, the best time for fishing is early in the morning. Usually we opt to go early so that we will be actually fishing by 5 or 6.
When it is time, guess everybody has to make sure that all who are willing to join are there. Always things can be flexible. Some go fishing at evening, but the chances here are less than in the morning.
Do not feel sad.
sasa412 said
kelly ...thanks and also it will be my pleasure to see you again
i found the Wkra is the nice and near place to go fishing , hope will go again
regards
Happy Happy said
stw78...Not joining the fishing trip..:)) ...I was originally writing to ask you to count me in. But then the folks scared the daylight out of me when suggested the trip would be as early as 05- 06:00 am.
Now, I'm officially backing down and lowering the flag too..:))
Salam
sasa412 said
Happy ...why you changed your mind it is really fun to go fishing early , at this time due to weather is really hot the best time is to start early and we stay up to 10 AM , it is really fun you should give a try
regards

fishing spots ......The Oracle...
Hi there,
have you been successful in finding any spots. if so please share.
cheers

Fishing Spots - Guaranteed ...Ok. Ok.
With the risk of having my favourite fishing spot crowded everytime I go there with QL members I will share, just because I know how it feels not having the good-spots knowledge in a new location that you've just mooved into.
Drive to Al Khor.
Go inside the city, at the round-about at corniche go straight. Next round-about, go straight.
Badeeen, pass by the Al khor comunity (it will be on your right), take the immediate turn right after that and drive straight.
After about 5 km take a turn to the left and drive straight for about 1.5 km, after take a turn to the right and stop after 900m. You will see:
- the sea in front of you
- and a house/settlement on your left.
Now, take the tarmac road behind the house and you will reach a deserted dhow that is raised on some wood pylons.
You now have in front of you the sea again and a land strip that goes inside the sea for about 300m.
The car can enter only 100m (the strip gets thin)
Leave the car there and take all your gear ... stop somwhere close to the tip and enjoy. :)
And as an extra bonus tip, cast your line on the southern side of the strip. there are more fish and smaller waves than on the other side.
In September you will see large kingfish (1 m) jumping out of the water for smaller fish banks. It's amaizing !
Don't get all excited, you need a boat to catch that fishes.
Now, I hope i will still have my 4 sqm of space when i will go there this Friday :)
Waiting for you post-fishing comments and pics.:)
P.S. - and yes, it's better early morning.
for a fisherman, morning is casting the line at 4 AM
GPS Coordinates (Google Earth)
25° 42' 5" North

Have a great and short week and a loong relaxing weekend.
All the best.

nikolas urfe :) Wow ... ...that was cool ... Guess I will go alone this Friday and try it ... to reach the far to the king fish ... if the wind is blowing from behind your back then get a piece of floating material and you can use as well one plastic,blow some air inside and arrange it properly on the water, put your bait on the top and let the wind take it deep inside ... then pull the line ... worked perfectly on Corncihe while I saw a man jumping on the water [a king fish that every one heard it when it hit the water from far away, something really huge] ...
What kind of fish there? Shaeri? Safi? Hamour or ...?
