Update From Kuwait

[clayton86]

I finally made it out to the water today after a busy schedule the past few weeks with no time off I got some time off today and went fishing. I got skunked but had several fish on and was fighting for a good half hour just to loose em. I had several needle fish on threw out the day never landed any and one shark that broke my line. The shark had me worried as I was doing it Kuwati style when he bit. The Kuwaiti's don't use any poles just a "yo yo" spool and hand line them they toss there bait out then set the spool on the pier and I guess wait for it to take off cuz that's what mine did lol. I grabbed the spool let it get tight and gave it a good yank and it went airborne ticked off lasted for oh about the time it took me to say " sht i shoulda brought gloves this is gonna hurt" and then snap there goes my first shark bit threw the line I didn't have a leader.

No Queens were biting today but we did see two massive fish chasing a ball of bait fish kinda shaped like the Queens but much much much bigger and a little thicker they didnt want anything to do with what we had. My team leader caught 2 needlefish one on raw chicken another on some of the little bait fish I had been catching for us.

Also I finally got the pics of the grouper i caught about 3 weeks ago Id really like to get another grouper just bigger but there's so many snags on the bottom its near impossible to fish the bottom.

nice catches man... I've always wanted to catch a shark but I have never got one yet

lol, you look like a 6th grader on patrol with that green belt on . Do the grouper have a size limit in Kuwait or can you keep any size? Also, be careful with the raw chicken and wash everything the chicken touches. You don't need to get sick from handling raw chicken

yeah the PT belts are mandatory any time in civilian clothes or pt's and during low light conditions(1800-0600) when in uniform there's no limit or season on anything we catch here. I still haven't landed a shark iv had them on the line but never landed one if we can spot one we usually can catch it cuz there aggressive you drop anything near them and its game over same with the needle fish but has to be something alive or once alive. we just float sea bream on the surface and the needle fish fight over them once they bite we open the bail and wait for em to swallow it. Theres cuda here to but I haven't seen many same with king's iv seen some guys catching red snapper as well but also never caught one.
