WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Giles]

All I can think of is ulua aukea

[Matty123]

You know what they call those here. DA BIG FAKAS. 

Gonna try my hand at them this week. Lots of tidal current on the beach where I’m staying. They like that as you know I’m sure.

[Giles]

The more current the bigger the ulua, which is why where I fish in Oman, they grow to be the largest in the world, the currents and the seas are massive…..

That must make for some interesting boat trips. Do you live bait or lures? Top water fly?

[Giles]

The trip out to the islands we fish, the Hallaniyat Islands:

is brutal, it's a minimum of 70 minutes, but if the sea state is rough (= better fishing), it can take 2 hours.  After my first trip to Oman, I started going to the gym to build up my core strength.

We fish off the shore of the islands and cast big poppers or stick baits as close to the rocks as possible.

Here is my favourire pencil bait, that is 8oz and about 8 inches long.

This'll give you some idea of the "good" conditions…..

I'm trying so bloody hard not to make a joke about of your 8" pencil right now…  Is there still lead in it?

Isn't that why he's showing it off?

And why not, it looks beautiful, he should be proud. Just don't mention the blue pills…

[Giles]

To hand…. :o

[neph93]

That’s magnificent. It’s so big and purple I’m sure no fish in the the sea could resist it.
