Is it guided fishing?
No, at least not in the typical sense of guiding fishing. Our three-man crew is getting a really good understanding of where to find good fly fishing but they rarely wade the reefs or flats with us. Instead, captain Mohamed will run the 36-foot boat to the chosen areas, and Adbul and Wahid will use the dinghy to bring guests to the reefs or flats, and pick them up again when we move to a new spot.
How many fish will I catch?
That depends how good you are! And what species you target. Fishing a Clouser-type fly behind the reef, we have tried catching 12 fish in 12 casts; smaller snappers, groupers and other stuff we don’t even know what was. That’s probably not what you came for.
On the other hand, if you only target big GTs you might not catch a whole lot. They aren’t easy to hook, and the big ones are even harder to land. You are basically fishing for that really special fish that might save your trip, or your whole year.
Luckily, there is somewhere in between: You can still fish tackle heavy enough to handle bigger GTs and at the same time have some great fun by catching smaller bluefin trevallies. And not all the bluefins are small: Some run 5 kilos, or more, and they are as much fun, as challenging and even cooler looking that GTs of the same size.
