Great report Matt.

Sounds like you guys had an awesome trip, and scored some sik weather for the first 3 days ;D

Nothin' like a bit of pain on a foul-hooked GT eh Rock!

Thanks for sharing this, Matt. Nice report!

I was one of the two guys you met in the harbour in Shuwaymiah. We also had some awesome fishing but not as many 50kg + fish as you guys! Seems like we should have stayed two more days :)

But we have the record of 16 fish that you tried to break - heh heh... :) Our biggest was my friend Jacobs fish - 148 stunning centimeters from head to fork. Amazing creature! I think Nick will post a report within the nearest future.

I agree - Saoud is a legend. Schumacher!

EPIC report mate !

What an awesome trip , awesome company , awesome setup !
This trip just highlighted again why i am so passionate about fishing .. It brings people together and makes friends of total strangers !

Next year the "A-Team" needs to / MUST be re-assembled ! Fitter , Stronger and Wiser !! We just need Luke to drop that Aussie accent !  :P  ;D .. oh and we need Saoud to land number 17  ;D

A huge thank you must go out from my part as well to the Ocean Active guys , the advice we received was SPOT ONE all the way and the planning was exceptional ! Thanks guys
