Here’s the latest from our friends at Ocean Active on fishing in Dubai.

Dubai is doing what Dubai always does, producing fantastic numbers, up to 40 fish a session, of great quality fish both on fly and spinning. Traditionally, many of those who fish with us have been seasoned anglers who want a stopover on their way to the Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius, Africa or India in order to stretch their legs as well as a line after a long flight. However, given Dubai’s ascension as a serious business and travel destination in its own right we’re seeing a growing demand for a day’s fishing as part of an itinerary.
