Sami it was another awesome trip with you and Saltywater Tackle! Was great to spend time with Raymond and Igor had a lot of laughs and a lot of fishing! The boyz really stood up to the plate and delivered!
6 months of planning and working out new possible areas and coming up with a new gameplan for Southern Oman paid off. The conditions were not easy with so much green algae in the water but as normal hard work pays off! Always appreciate your input and product knowledge, which is second to none!! I look forward to our next fishing adventure and plans we made!
Ocean Active along with Saltywater Tackle is finally very happy and proud to be able to offer several options for fishing in Southern Oman with our partner Ashraf for the lodge and boats. We are been running trips in Oman, UAE and Indian Ocean Islands for the last 8 years and built up an amazing network and knowledge in the region. We have been running trips to Southern Oman for several seasons and have built up some great fishing areas and most importantly local knowledge. We have been working hard to have a new 37ft Seamaster boat with twin 225hp 4 stroke outboards for offshore, popping and jigging. The boat is amazing and rivals out Musandam boat. We now also have the old smaller 28ft center console that we will use for inshore fishing which is fantastic fishing, along with shore based fishing both casting and bait for huge flat fish and a variety of inshore species. Southern Oman is a remote location with not much infrastructure so to have a good boat and accommodation is important and also makes the whole Oman experience that much better.
Ocean Active will be offering the following products for Southern Oman:
-
Offshore and Islands charters, this will be targeting the GTs, AJs, Sailfish, Marlin, YFT, Grouper, Wahoo, Kingfish and several other species depending on the season. These trips will be guided trips on the new 37ft Boat.
-
Inshore fishing charters which will be along the coast fishing at the base of the mountains that drop into the sea and shallow reefs targeting several trevally speices including yellow dot, bluefin, blacktip, big eye and then several other species like spangled emperor, dorado, black bream, sea bream, cobia, and basically anything can happen on these trips! These trips will be run on the 28ft center console and will have an Omani Captain and can be guided by OA guides or self fish.
-
Shore based trips, these trips can be from just staying at the lodge and exploring the area or fishing shore based areas for bluefish, bream, permit, rays, sandsharks, trevally etc. These trips are self fish trips and are set up to enjoy Southern Oman and the culture and heritage. We are also working on providing some fishing skis to hire and fish off the shore, these are South African built skis and perfect for fishing inshore and taking on the surf and having a stable fishing platform.
We will also be able to offer combinations like offshore/islands and inshore trips, or offshore and shore based trips etc. If you require any additional information please contact me or you can follow our reports and updates on
