Hello Everyone!

Sorry for the earlier post without an introduction prior to it, I felt at home here with all this fishie talk that I dove right in! (or should I say threw my line right in!)

I'm a new fisherman aboard this forum! Proud and priveleged to be a part of this community with such seemingly great people and experts of all sorts of the art of fishing! I've only recently taken up fishing as a serious interest and it has become a near obsession to learn more and polish my basic skills!

I've lived in the UAE(Abu Dhabi) my whole life, minus some time in Spain and Canada, MTL. Ofcourse, as a person who's lived here I have lived off the beach.. watersports, wakeboarding, standup jetskiing, and some fishing experience, going on boat fishing trips with the boys and some shore fishing. Fishing hasn't been much of a usual ritual until I purchased a thrilling means of fishing.. my big blue kayak - "The Atlaniss" (purposely spelled wrong). I have also just finished Rigging up and fixing my boat for poper fishing trips, trolling, and just good fun.

Im a complete rookie in fishing, especially rod fishing with tackles, lures, baits, fillets, signature dishes, etc... Im learning along the way and to record my lessons learned and experiences, I have created a blog that I use as a diary and broadcast to all fellow interested anglers:

Hi Zeid, that's a fine kayak you have there and some excellent fishing areas as well. Try and get yourself a waterproof fish finder like the Lowrance mark 5x pro. You will be able to find structure and drop offs as well as large fish near the structures. You can try jigging with soft plastics or troll next to these fish hot spots. Have a look at the site below for more info on kayak fishing,

Be safe and have a blast!
