Jimmy Balamon

Member since December 2022 Hurghada, Egypt
Background
Capt. Jimmy runs trips out of Hurgada aboard a 54' local vessel. These waters are known for Mahi-Mahi and Barracuda and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or jigging. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

Deep drop on of the best for me
