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 🎣

it was a great trip. i went with my 16 year old son and we had a wonderful day from 7 am til afternoon. stunning sunrise in the morning. we had everything on board what we needed. food, drinks, fresh fruits. although it was windy we caught great fishes. captain and crew were very pleasent and nice. thanks a lot, we‘ll be back. boris & hiro

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.

Es war ein schöner Tag. Obwohl die Fische anfangs beissfaul waren, gab Kapitän Khaled alles. Letztendlich machte sich die Geduld bezahlt und wir konnten 3 schöne Skipjack Thunfische fangen.
