Oman

SUPER FISHING IN 1001 ARABIAN NIGHTS

The south of Oman offers the adventurous angler a true dream of fishing opportunities at the right time. The coastline is rugged and impressive. During the monsoon period the coastal region of Oman turns green and everything comes to life. Oman has a wide variety of landscapes with high mountains, desert and directly on the Arabian Sea in an environment of 1001 fairy-tale nights. Giant Trevally, barracuda, long-line tuna, yellowfin tuna, dogtooth tuna, sailfish, groupers, amberjack, stingray, moray eel, bluefish, guitar ray, wahoo etc. is truly an extensive and spectacular assortment of species you can catch here.

It is only a 2,5 hour drive from the airport in Salalah to Hasik from where this operation takes place. You will be picked up with a luxury 4 x 4 all-terrain vehicle that will bring you to Hasik in all comfort. Here we have a luxurious guesthouse where you will stay in double rooms. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, single beds, bedlinen and towels. The rooms are very nicely furnished and are comfortable after a long day of fishing.

Here we work together with a very experienced organisation that has been operating here for years. They know the best places because they fish here with great regularity. You can go here for two types of fishing:
Shore fishing: surfcasting, popping and (live) bait
Boat fishing around the Al Hallaniyat islands popping, (live) bait, trolling and jigging

Whichever fishery you choose, it will be an unforgettable experience. Oman is located directly on the Arabian Sea which is part of the Indian Ocean. This is living room for many different species of fish including the Giant Trevally, amberjack, tuna, sea bream, ray, sailfish, king mackerel, bluefish, barracuda, grouper and more of these exotic species. Special about our local partner is that they work with local people. This means that they have short lines of communication with the local fishermen who know exactly where the different shoals of fish are at that moment.

For coastal fishing the guide has a 4 x 4 vehicle available 24 hours a day to take you anywhere and anytime at different hotspots within a radius of 70 kilometres. So you decide for yourself when and where you go fishing. Usually during the night the bigger species come to the coast to look for food. So to catch a GT, barracuda or other large species with the popper or stickbait, you sometimes have to get up early.

Fishing from the boat also takes place from Hasik. This is one of the villages closest to the Hallaniyat islands and is the best location for boat fishing. A fishing day takes 9 to 10 hours and you have to start well trained. The fishing is tough and the fish are sometimes massive. You must therefore have a good physical condition to embark on this adventure. In recent years our local partner has managed to find more than 300 waypoints with top locations and they regularly catch many beautiful and large fish here.

Oman is a safe and impressive country in the Arab world. It offers beautiful wild landscapes with impressive sunsets, breath-taking sunrises and warm-hearted people with an ancient and respectable culture. It is almost obligatory to sit quietly at the beach at least once and watch the sun sink into the sea. At this location this happens every day!

For both types of fishing, the formats that can be caught here appeal to the imagination. GT's up to 60 kilo + are already caught here around the islands Al Hasikiyah, Sawda and Al Hallaniyat. But what about groupers up to 100 kilos, yellowfin tuna up to 65 kilos and so on. All this fishing is subject to the right period of time.
