Nick Bowles:
Good Morning,

Hope everyone is well and rods are bending. I've been reading the forum for a while and thought I would add a few posts from our neck of the woods. I live and fish in Dubai, Oman and surrounding areas whenever work allows. We mainly fish the Musandam and have some great GTs in season. But after reading about the GTs down South it seems that there is a few more long distance trips on the cards! Really awesome fishing and a great forum.

I have just come back from a trip with my Dad who comes out every year to try and pull a few fish, the old man is not as young as he used to be but the old bones still put up a good fight and he managed a nice GT. We caught some good fish and also some on 50lbs braid but got our pipes cleaned a good few times.

Cheers,
Nick

Sam Conacher:

Sam Colvin:
Nice Nick!

What do you run on your KGS?

Cheers
Sam

Nick Bowles:
Hi Sam,

We use Accurate SR12s and 50lbs Tufline XP. Really awesome combo for our fishing. We found the fish chasing Shrimp Scads just off a sea mount in about 50-60m of water so we thought it would be our best chance to land a big fish on the light tackle. Usually we would not take a knife to a gun fight but we managed to get a few 20kg+ and one 30kg fish out. I lost two fish I recon were up towards 40kgs (always get bigger after you get smoked!), the hooks opened on the one and hooks pulled on the other.

Cheers,
Nick
