Latheef Mohamed

Member since October 2013 Malé, Maldives

Background: Fishing has been my pastime since I was a schoolboy. After starting my professional career as an engineer in Male, we needed a boat for our recreational fishing near Male. After a while, I found out that fishing is better in remote locations away from the population, so I built a fishing lodge. Now running the boat and the lodge has become a very big part of my life.
Techniques: I prefer jigging first thing in the morning. If the tide is right I do a bit of casting. I also like blue water big fish. I still have a few fish missing in my log. I will get them sooner or later.

GT for a Newbie

Feb 21, 2015 Malé

A customer from Malaysia, Mr. Ben ,wanted just to feel a GT strike on a popper, because he had never tried it. So we setup popping rod with a 6 inch popper. . After few casts his buddy wanted a try and the cast was not more than 50 feet from the boat,.... Splash!!....GT smashed on. The guy couldn't reel in. Ben jumped in and started fighting the GT. . Ben landed his first GT!. Unsatisfied that GT strike his buddy, Ben wanted more. We moved to a new spot and ... Splash !! GT on.. oops lost. After half an hour another big strike but GT sprinted over the reef, predictably, line hit coral and snapped. Overall we had 7 more unsuccessful strikes and landed 2 GTs. Not bad for a newbie who wanted simply to feel a GT strike! Apart from GTs, we caught 5 more 2- 3 kg fish for and grilled for lunch.

4 Hour Trip

Went on a half day trip one the Alpha Royale @Dhebanveli Guesthouse in June 2015. Had requested for the captain but he unfortunately was ill on the day of our trip. Nonetheless, the trip was very enjoyable and the crew was very helpful and nice. The boat was very spacious and clean. We caught around 5 fish and one of the crew cooked some of the fish on board! It was a great experience.

The lads were on time for the early start (other operators may no be). The equipment and rig is excellent. They are set up for fishing. Deck hands are helpful and friendly. Although we did not catch the prized big game I would go again with them. Others who went out trolling that day got zero on the big game. These guys made every effort to make for an enjoyable and varied day of fishing.

I am a newbie in fishing and user fishing booker service in Maldive for a half day big game fishing. - Only the captain knows moderate english and most of the time my friends and I were lost in translation - Not enough guide and advice in fishing, most of the time we just throw the bait and hook into the water and wait. - The contact in fishing booker said we could pay in Visa, Cash and Mastercard to the captain, but turn on they only accept cash, we had to run a long way...

I had a great trip with this crew, caught some wahoo, Capt Lateef was great. started at 7am it would have been perfect to start earlier, we started at 7 and fished till 11, after getting some wahoos we did bottom fishing and got some more fish, I would recommend these guys anytime.

We have been in this business for more than 10 years. Customers especially repeat customers are tantamount to our good effort trying to catch fish. We have seen difficult customers. Losing fish, and fish getting unhooked in otherwise a low fish-biting day can be frustrating. We apologize. We guarantee 100% effort on our part to catch a dream fish.
