After my last trip in March,a return trip was planned for October to see my daughter and of course a fishing trip with the guys at Ocean Active. Cool


An early morning start at the Marina.Nice background of the Burj Khalifa. Smile
I met with Captain Nuwan and was glad to see that Nick(the owner of Ocean active was joining us.It was great to finaly meet for the first time.


Soon,we were leaving the Dubai skyline behind.We were now on the hunt for baitfish and birds diving.We did not have to wait long!


A cast was placed into the commotion.Stip,Strip,BOOM An angry queen was putting as much distance between me and the boat,then dived deep.

After a while,i saw a rather nice Queen coming towards me.Soon Capt Nuwan tailed it first time of asking




Nick was soon taking pictures and congratulations allround!
I managed to take a further 5 queens in total.All on olive and white clousers ;using DNA Holofusion with 4 strands of pearl crystal flash.
