Afternoon! This is not pure popping but it involves popping, spinning and fishing in UAE and Oman along with scenery and just a cool project. Over the last few years Ocean Active has been working with Invisible Cactus to do over 17 fishing shows in UAE and Oman for the Supersport channel in South Africa. We have fished throughout UAE and Oman and mainly using light spinning tackle and some heavier popping tackle. We have experienced some amazing places, caught some fantastic fish and met some real characters.
Over the coming season we will start filming for the next set of shows and we will be setting up in Dubai to also focus doing shows for the local market along with the international channels we have dealt with the the past few years. This is a really exciting project and we have had a really good response so far.
We will be working with various Government Ministries in the region to promote sportsfishing, education and try and help set up regulations to preserve the great fish stocks we have in this region. But unfortunately as any untouched place the natural resources get abused at the moment and the fishing will not remain at this level for much longer.
We will also do some dedicated popping an jigging shows in this region along with a few off the chart places. The shows will be as the name suggests Off the Charts, we will try and show cool places, some informative information and just try catch good fish, while having fun. The show will cover a wide range of fishing but will mainly focus on artificial lure fishing of various styles.
Below is some of the short You Tube clips from previous seasons and also give you a bit of an idea of the programs and also help show some of the fishing we have in this region, not just GTs, but yes they are still the top of the list!! If you check on You Tube under Off the Charts Fishing you will find a whole lot more clips!
