I've heard that fishing is very promising there, but the problem for me is that you need a boat to get there (I don't have a boat or any friend who has a boat ) I know some guys line fishing from the Four Seasons Marina and they're catching decent size fish.

the biggest grouper i have ever caught i got there ..... there used to be a wreck there beside safliyah island .
" that used to hold some big BASS at the right time of tide"

i also have heard of another secret wreck just out from the fourseasons that has some BIG grouper

I have a 5 mm Cressi bought it last year from Langkawi (Garmin dealer) water was cold you don't feel a thing with a 5mm

My float is a blue boogie board with bungee cords strapped on it and my blue ocean mimetic omer gun ... I would be really surprised if you see it, but hey .. you never know.

Thanks for trying

Hiya

Wind plays a very important roll in the vz. More specifically, wind direction and speed.

For example, in False Bay, when a North Westerly wind blows, it generally cleans up the viz., how-ever, it also pushes in cold water. Certain area's will be 12-14 degrees and crystal clean and other spots 20-24 degrees, with ZERO viz!!

Best bet is to have some-one located close to the sea, whom you can call before going. Alternatively, keep a diary in which you write down the wind forecast EVERY day, and soon you'll see a pattern emerging for your specific area. Very important is to try and get the wind direction that is blowing at the sea and not at your house!! I've often have very little wind at home and then the wind is HOWLING at 30knts+ at the sea!!

Even with me knowing the winds and weather patterns, i still get thrown a curve ball when all the things say that the water should be perfect and then it isn't!! Thats just the nature of the game...................

How-ever, keeping a diary on conditions and catch's will most definitely improve your chances.

ya offshore winds are defnitly the best .. i didnt know water tempeture played a big part in viz

i thought currents would be the biggest factor when you have a steep high or low tide the current picks up a load of sand and silt but then that dosent
explain why when we go oilrig diving in deep water why some days the viz is exelent and some days it sucks because were very high above the bottom so sand shouldent be able to rise so high..

heres a pic of a good day ---->

Damit Cuda..... Do I smell a betray here????:naughty :t

OK let me start with Gladiator first ...... man Your SOOO DAMN CLOSE to the Saudi borders, actuly am still wondering how they didn't shoot you yet!!??:naughty

its very risky and your almost at there lands .. and as I heard these people are really aggressive...

The current in that area is really strong, so you have to study it really good, calculate the time that you spend to reach the area and the time that you stay there very carefully.....
I used to spear 2.5 Km south of your spot... and yes its outstanding ... but very dangerous too.
that area is full of very large Baracudas and queenfish... (queen fish is very strong in the water too, speared one there and almost took the gun from my hand, So for sure what took your gun is a CUDA or a queen.
The area there is very narrow and shallow for a good size shark!!!!

if it was low tide when you lose your gun ..... then forget about it ... its out in the open sea now, if it was high then there is a chance to find it in sheraton area .. (very lettle for sure).

I have a T20 ocean mimetic with omer 50m reel .... if you like I can let you use it some time if we met there or something so you don't forget how it feels in your handrofl

Will post a review soon for this gun ... man its REVOLUTION in my spearfishing
career ..... I can shoot a dime from a 3m distance with this beauty.

want my advice.... wait for the OMER CAYMAN HF... its even better than the T20.:friday

 

[sanadw]

Cudas idea is good .... I was thinking to do the same too.
if all of you report here or if you find it easier to my email ..... I will start to make a database for it .....
what do you think guys???
