Default Fishing in Dubai waters

I grew up hunting and fishing but for the past few years I have not been able to indulge - can anyone recommend a good crew to go out with?

I was booked on a 'deep-sea fishing trip' but it got cancelled because it was too rough - it wasn't, I just think they wanted the day off.

Want to go again though, there are loads online to look at.

go out of fujairah or dibba and you might catch something

not sure Dubai has recovered from the dredging yet, or all the desalination, the Gulf will end up like Springfield LAke eventually

yeah I know and I've had a look but would rather go on a recommendation as I have been out with crews in other parts of the world and it has been a terrible experience, completely unprofessional and clueless. want to avoid that again

Hunting non existent here, well at least for legal and non endangered species. Fly fishing in Fujairah is supposed to be brilliant, not a joke either believe it or not

We are trying to organise a hunting trip (mountains) in Kyrgyzstan for ibex but the paperwork is a ballache. Ive not tried anything locally in the GCC - but apparently Jordan is good

Hello Graduate QS,

From what I remember I think Al Boom in Fujairah offer fishing excursions too.
