I live around the canal and often see people fishing near the Al Maqta'a bridge. Is there anything to catch on that area? Any shared experiences would be appreciated.

Hello All! I would like to get into fishing here in the UAE, but I have no experience. So I would like to go on a fishing trip with someone who's willing to teach me and my friends. I have looked up chartered boats in Dubai with captains that provide fishing tools. I was wondering if there is something similar to this in Fujairah. Thanks!

Hello everyone, recently got into shore fishing in the Jaddaf spot and i’m now looking for better spots, something with bigger catches, more fun experiences like barracudas or queenfish, im still new to fishing but is it possible to catch these types of fish on shore? if so, please share areas or locations where it’s possible EDIT: preferably in Dubai

hi guys,

I am living in Dubai and I want to know a good camping and fishing spot in Dubai. With a license, most are angling spots. As I am new to fishing, I would like to do bait fishing, and it takes a really long time, so I want to camp there also. Any good spots for camping and fishing in the UAE? I am comfortable with driving to far places also.

I am visiting UAE from canada for 2 weeks and I am looking for sharing fishing charters, on east and west coast, Dubai to Rak or Fujirah.

Hey guys,

Do you know any good groups for fishing or companies that provide such services? I am getting back into fishing.

I really want to learn how to fish but i dont know anyone here that does it. I live in Abu Dhabi but id happily drive to other emirates. Does anybody here willing to share their knowledge and teach me how to fish 🎣 please.

Or if you know anyone who offers classes etc please dm me.

Thank you! 🙏🏽

Hi Member,

Wanted to start fishing in Abu Dhabi. The issue I’m facing is whenever I apply for license on TAMM it gives error on payment. Can I do fishing without license since I’m trying to apply and it’s continuously giving me error. Does someone come and ask for license?

Thanks.

Hi guys, I have seen many people fishing in Yas island iron bridge but some folks say it is not allowed there.

Can anyone give me the correct picture? Is it allowed there or not?

i want to catch fish as a side hustle and sell it in ajman, or anywhere

any license required?

if i go to ajman fishing market and just put a table with my catch on it, i wont be questioned or anything right ?

is there any place in dubai that sells live bait?

Is there anyone who loves fishing and knows what they're doing that would like to join us on a trip or two? My freimd and i have a boat and enough of a clue to catch a few fish but would love to learn from someone with a bit of experience.

I can provide everything for a the trip including the boat in exchange for a bit of knowhow.

The boat is at al hamra water front.

Were going to enter a biggest Sherri competition on the 8th December so bonus if you can come along then.

Thanks!

Hi folks, I have a fishing license but generally I go fishing with my brother. Does he need another license or can we use my license to fish?

Thanks

Hii,

I am looking for a good fishing trip in UAE. Yesterday we did one, only the guys didn’t really explained about the fishing, which fish we could catch etc. Does anyone have recommendations?

Used high low setup with squid as bait.

Came here a few weeks back for support getting started.

Finally started and got the hang of it

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying my luck with sports fishing around Abu Dhabi for the past two weeks, but unfortunately, haven’t had much success. 😅 I’m hoping to get some advice on the best spots in the area for a decent catch. Whether it’s from the shore or by boat, I’m open to suggestions.

Any recommendations for good locations, the best times to fish, or even the right bait to use in these waters would be super helpful! Thanks in advance! 🎣

Hello everyone, I am a Lebanese expat writing this on the phone so excuse the typos.

I have been the UAE for around 3 years, and during this time the only fishing I have done is on my vacations back at home. My cousins go fishing there every weekend, sometimes twice. As they are seasoned in the hobby back at home they were able to get me a rod reel combo for a little over $100, with name brands and I have used with no issues.

Now for the problem:

I have decided its time to apply for my permit from Dubai municipality this coming week and start practicing this hobby once a week here in UAE. My budget is the problem:

Should I buy a good quality but used combo?

Why are the combos im seeing online (okuma, shimano, etc..) a minimum of 550 AED?is this normal?

What are the best jigging combos that are 2 piece (so i can store it in my apartment)?

Does Jigging work in UAE? In Lebanon we simply add shrimp to a hook and let it sink till we get a bite, does this work here?

Any cheap but good options to consider I am missing?

Thank you all in advance for the help, wishing you a bountiful catch

Hello,

I'm looking for advice where and how fish lobster in UAE.
i never saw one during my spearfishing session.

Any insight will be appreciated.

thanks

i don’t know where the good offshore fishing spots are in abu dhabi. when i see pictures and videos of big fish caught in abu dhabi on boat, their location is not linked. Any recommendations (maybe someone knows where the charter boats go, this would be useful)?
