That red fish is very interesting.
Any idea what it is, and do you catch them often?

Hi Alex, Southern Oman will do that to you!! Start putting those marks on the wall counting down the days till round 2! Hit it!!

Hi Lee, The red fish is a blood snapper or humphead snapper as I now them, sure there are a few other names, looks like a Napoleon Wrasse a bit and one of the best fish I have caught on jig in terms of weird........This is the first one we have caught on the boat, they normally cach quite a few of them offshore up on the point of the bay around Ras Madrakah, I have seen the locals with boat loads. I spoke to our Omani Captain and he said it is one of the best eating fish! On the same day Alex had another one chase a hooked tuna to the boat trying to bite it!! So seem to be quite aggressive if they are in the area!

Cheers,
Nick
