Great day
Fishy morning fiesta on February 5, 20262 adults

So how do I write a review saying what a great day I had when I only caught1tiny fish. Especially after promising to provide a fish packed video for our YouTube channel Anstey Sea Anglers. The thing is. We did have a fantastic day. The skipper was amazing and tried every trick in the book (including Praying 🙏) to put us on the fish. He was constantly showing us on the sounder that there were fish below us. But we just couldn't entice them to bite. We had paid for a five hour trip but in his endeavour to get us fish we stayed out over seven hours at no extra charge. Even after saying "that's it, we have to head back now" we still stopped to have one last try as we passed over yet more fish. On this drift I actually hooked into my first decent fish of the day but lost it after about 20 seconds. So we went around for 1 more last try. This time I had the hardest bite I've ever felt but unfortunately in less than 3 seconds it was gone. Taking my jig with it. That's fishing for you. Would I go with Khaled again? Oh yes 100%. In fact I can't wait to return to Hurghada to try again. To catch that fish that still has my lure 🎣

#1 Fishing Charter on Red Sea
Christmas deal, dont miss it - 12:00 PM on December 28, 20251 adult

I can highly recommend the Blue Bird charter for a fishing trip on the Red Sea. The boat was very comfortable, they had plenty of food & drinks for us, and best of all they were excellent fisherman. We caught 6 tuna on a 5 hour afternoon trip. I would recommend them and will return myself.

Perfect Fishing Trip
Christmas deal, dont miss it on December 29, 20251 adult

It was a beautiful day. Although the fish were reluctant to bite at first, Captain Khaled gave it his all. In the end, the patience paid off and we managed to catch 3 nice Skipjack Tuna.
