Deep sea fishing is one of the most potent choices to enjoy marine Dubai. Clear sunny weather and abundance of rare variety of baits, Dubai attracts many renowned sea fishing events from around the world. The barracuda is known to be one of the favorite catches for first-timers as well as professional anglers in the Persian Gulf. Other exotic varieties include: fluke, bluefish, flounder, striped bass, blackfish, porgy, sherry, Sultan Ibrahim, hammour, small shark, king fish, cobia etc.
To get the biggest schools of fishes, one must travel into deep sea. But there are some quiet spots along the Dubai shorelines as well. There is Dubai Creek, beyond the Jebel Ali Free Zone, which is known for its humungous Kingfish and Hammour. Another nice spot is Dibba, near the Makhtoum Bridge. Go along the East Coast to get your hands on the land’s best Dorado and Queen Mackerels.
While going into deep sea, keep in mind to alert the Coast Guards. And also keep a fair watch on the weather if you are going on your own. Fishes retreat from the hot beaches during the summer. So the ideal time for fishing in deep sea then is around sunrise or sunset. For a more romantic and majestic sea-view, try the experience in moonlight. You won’t regret it!
Apart from a clear sky, the scorching sunny weather is a downer for fishing in Dubai. Sun-tans can easily become sun-burns if you stay out too long in the sun. Avoid exposure. Keep your head covered and apply SPF. Light summer clothing is advisable for almost the whole year. Winter is not long in Dubai, but this is also the time when fishes are plentiful and found very near the coast. Wear light winter clothing during the trip and you will be fine. If not that, you can always plan a fishing adventure in Goa and we would help you with best of arrangements.
A fair warning! Hook-line fishing for recreational purposes in UAE requires you to obtain a license, or go with someone who has one. Available on a weekly or an annual basis, recreational fishing licenses come free of cost for only UAE residents from their local municipality offices. Short-term licenses are issued for foreigners too. Please contact our travel executives for assistance in this manner.
