Bus will get you to either, but if you are in downtown area, can walk to SWF easy. Need bus to get up to PVH (5-10mins). Alan |

On a day where only an handful of fish were raised by 6 people, fishing that lure I caught 3 fish had 7 explosive hits that I missed hooking up on. Take a range of different lures; Poppers, Stick Baits and Sinking Stick baits. Don't get too caught up on how pretty a lure is I think it is more about the action and profile of the lure. The guide in Oman showed me his best lure and it was the ugliest un-shapely thing I have ever seen and was solid purple, but was the only lure that would work for him 100% of the time and out fish everything else. Do some research and find some good lures that are proven to work. Hook choice can be hard, I ran Owner ST-77's but found they were a really heavy gauge and the softer rod I was using for stick baits (Ocea Plugger Full Throttle Heavy) struggled to set the hooks. I will be doing some more research before chasing GT's again and finding a finer gauge hook that are strong enough. I crushed the barbs on all my hooks. OK maybe a lost a fish or two but at least we managed to get the hook out of the deck hands fore arm when he dropped a fish he was leadering. Biggest thing is just to enjoy the experience, catching fish is all a bonus for me.
