Great report!!
You guys make a Victorian winter so much more bareable :'(
Sounds like an awesome place to go.
I think I will be adding the Hallaniyat Islands to the bucket list ;D
For now though I think I will head back to the fire and dream of warm places and large fish!!

Hi luke! Forgot the number of fish you guys caught really awesome, gets the GT adrenalin flowing!! Making me itch to get back down there asap! Hopefully if the monsoon dies down early we will start middle on next month, some of the team are already on the island getting things sorted out, will take a week or two of exploratory trips to get all the bugs out and find were the fish are and movements.

Hi Andy, Mark, Alex, Hope you guys are ready, going to be epic trips! A whole heap of deep burn waiting!

Cheers,
Nick

some color..... 2.5 days fishing, 28 GT's... the smallest around 25, the biggest around 60kg... its was crazy. i have never seen anything like it... i only wished the weather had played along and we could've had another 1.5 days... would have had 50GT's at least! and I'm sure the 250 gamma would have seen a 65+....

highlights for me would have to be seeing Luke get drilled on Day 1.... MR GT POPPING.... the fish getting its own back on him! Barry getting smoked, and getting his PB a couple times, Saoud getting absolutely drilled! and all the great times with the boys!

its unlikely that it can disappoint down there, and with some good planning it can be affordable, and with some insurance you're covered for the worst. I recommend this to anyone who's keen to see big fish, or simply increase their own chances of getting a monster! i am taking my old man (65 next year) and my bro in April 2013... if it was anything like this trip... the boys will be old hands when they return to Dubai.

Thanks again Luke! great to meet you, Fish with you, and learn with you!

Oh man that first morning hurt!

Steamy hot and relatively quiet - then BOOM!

Fighting a ~40kg GT hooked directly in the middle flank for near on an hour is not enjoyable by any standards!!! Lucky for a self-draining deck as I was sweating like there was no tomorrow. Still triumphed without handing a rod over  8)

Matt - I must confess, snipering that large GT from you gave me the utmost satisfaction - sorry! He was a big boy! How he followed your stickbait all the way to the boat without smoking it was unbelievable!

Barry - The Roosta man! Damn you gave those lures a workout on some beasts and again showed that expensive lures aren't a necessity!

Saoud - what can I say....Fine Omani/Indian Radio, Shisha, Gig-Gig-Gig and other stories pertaining to conquests. A truly colourful character!

The problem isn't the lure itself - it's the creatures that destroy them!
