After the monsoon and an early season tropical storm, the 2025/26 season in Salalah has started with a bang. There have been clear, calm seas and very co-operative permit for anglers putting the fly in the right place plus some savage break offs in the rocks and mussels, all making for some extremely exciting fishing and stories. Early season guests have had a great time, many landing their first permit, others landing their 629th.

There are still some excellent dates left with the additional capacity of second and third boats available in January and February 2026.

prime Spring Tide dates available:

• 2 January till 8 January 2026
• 17 January till 24 January 2026
• 31 January till 7 February 2026
• 15 February till 23 February 2026
