New Destination Yemen GT

[Mark Harris]

If someone can set up packages with a decent boat, I do not think they will be short of takers! Still in awe at the fat nature of those fish  - incredible pics.

[Jamie Moir]

I'm sure the Somali pirates would love some flash new boats too - perhaps thats why they use those old clunkers instead!

[Scott Maybury]

$3,000 or $4,000 for international travel etc, plus 2000 euros (not quite $3,000 at current rates)....comparable to a Nomad trip....ok, it's not liveabord, the boats are more modest. I don't know if there is much by-catch available etc...

but to go catch massive GT's in an exotic location? Doesn't seem stupid expensive to me

And there is a law conference in Dubai next year around the GT season Vincenzo is talking about....hmmmm, tax deductible flights to Dubai.....

Hmmmm....cost of divorce.....

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 

[Mark Harris]

Law conference in Dubai...

.....Musandam

.....Socotra

Worth the divorce surely? 

[Vincenzo Caccico]

Yes very expensive from Australia, Singapore, japan ecc, like for us european come in pacific destination like Fiji, Tonga NC ecc..

If you are interesting to see i can show you the organization, camp site, boats, food, hotels, flights ecc

There is no only GT fishing, we are tryng to do better olso for jigging fly fishing and light spinning.

[Alex Jordan]

Definately got my interest Vincenzo!

Any visa or visitor issues coming from the UK?

Is it a pirate risk being so close to Somalia? any issues travelling through Yemen?

[Vincenzo Caccico]

We only transit in Saana'a we stay one night.

I never saw pirates in Socotra and we are far 400 km to Somali cost.

I don't want to tell you that is sure place but for the moment I never had problem.

There a lot of turists from Europe and Japan for normal trips but came or no is your personal position.


To understand well the place where we stay for fishing.


Thi is the mother tend where we eat and pass time when we don't fish.


We have 2 toyota at the cap used to drive the group to the spot.

Normaly in the afternoon we fish from the cost in light tackle or flyfishing.

Nice Bonefish Vincenzo....were there many in the shallow stuff? Add untouched bonefish to the mix and this area becomes even more attractive.

[Nathan Cefai]

Mate they are some Hectic GTs,there massive.....INSANE.....

[Jonas Holmsgard]

Bonefish too? Now you really got my attention. Those amazing gt's in the mornings and playing around with the flyrod in the afternoon, sounds almost too good to be true. And all this " close and cheap" for us europeans! I will definately check this out. Still the pirate situation worries me. When I went to Cosmoledo lur mothership was with crew was taken only a month later - and the seychelles are way further from Somalia. But still, I am very tempted. What area did you fish in Oman Vincenco? I fished the Musandam once myself - very accessible even from Scandinavia:-)

[Vincenzo Caccico]

In Oman i fished in Ras al haad where i have some Omani frinds of mine, they have a good boat and some panga i wold like to come back in future to try jigging amberjack and popping GT, and casting Yftuna.


Interesting also

Oman is a nice place and sure

About Socotra bones i will show you a photo very interesting


This was caught on jigging 200g in a deep of 83 mt

[Chris Leong]

Flying out from where i am, its gonna be Sin-Dubai-Sanaa-Socotra?

Vincenzo, can the travelling from Sanaa onwards be arranged by you guys?

[Luke Wyrsta]

Fantastic prospects there Vincenzo.

The island is quite large....so there could be even more possiblity there than ever imagined.

[Vincenzo Caccico]

Yes is possible, but sorry i prefer don't speack about logistic, if someone have some question i will be glade to answer on mail.

Sorry but i had some problems in other forums before.

About jigging we are tryng to do our best but i had hight and law results, at the moment we didn't find doggy, probably there aren't or maybe we must fish in other spot little bit far fron the island, but we need bigger boats.

So we find some shark, little amberjack, coral, groupers, rusty rosy green jobfish, emperor and other kind of snapper i don't know exactly the name.


Not so big but better than nothing.


Some little GT


And sometime some fish who run away and brake the line. only 60 pound due to the strong current.

We will see in future

Thanx Vincenzo
