If you’re looking to escape icy winter days and enjoy good fishing, Abu Dhabi has a lot to offer in January. King Mackerel is biting, as well as Barracuda, Snapper, Grouper, and Trevally.

Even though big game fish aren’t visiting the local waters just yet, there are plenty of other favorites to chase. Grunt, Yellowtail Snapper, Silver Trevally, Queenfish, and King Mackerel are all in the cards.

In March, fishing action continues to impress, with Mahi Mahi and Goliath Grouper coming out to play, and King Mackerel, Barracuda, Queenfish, and many more following closely behind.

Spring is here, and so are Marlin and Sailfish! Blue Marlin, along with its Black and Striped cousins, are coming back to Abu Dhabi waters, and Mahi Mahi, Grouper, and Snapper are also there for the taking.

It’s getting quite hot on the waves, so you better come aboard with plenty of sun protection. Mahi Mahi are roaming the offshore depths, as well as Queenfish, Trevally, and King Mackerel.

It’s officially summertime, and the best option is to hit the water early in the morning to avoid the heat. From Yellowfin Tuna and Sailfish to Mahi Mahi, Blue Marlin, and Goliath Grouper, there’s plenty of fish to target and hook.

‘Tis the Billfish season! If you’re coming to Abu Dhabi to find your trophy Marlin or Sailfish, this is the month to make it happen. Other popular catches include Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and Grunt.

While the local fish aren’t that fond of the hotter-than-usual waters, for Yellowfin Tuna, Sailfish, Blue Marlin, and Mahi Mahi, high temperatures are the perfect setting to come out and play. You can hook any of them this time of year.

Very slowly, the unyielding heat is becoming much more manageable and there are more and more species out and about. Whatever you’d like to catch, from Bream to Grunt, from Grouper to Sailfish, it could find its way to your line in September.

Come October, the usual suspects like Silver Trevally, Queenfish, Grunt, and Barracuda are up for grabs, as well as Goliath Grouper and Mahi Mahi. You can still find Tuna and Billfish, but they’re not that present anymore.

King Mackerel fishing is excellent in November, and Yellowtail Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Grunt, and many more are also quite hungry. The weather is warm and pleasant, giving you near-perfect fishing conditions.

If you’re looking to treat yourself for New Year’s, a fishing trip in Abu Dhabi, away from all the snow and cold, is definitely something to consider. Have an enjoyable time on the water fishing for Sailfish, King Mackerel, Queenfish, Trevally, Grunt, and the list goes on.
