Coral Trout Fishing with Reefer

April 1, 2025

The Red Sea continues to deliver world-class fishing, and this past series of trips aboard Reefer Sport Fishing has been nothing short of incredible. Our anglers have been landing some absolute trophy-sized coral trout (Plectropomus spp.), proving once again why this region is a paradise for serious fishermen. On multiple trips over the past few weeks, we’ve put our clients onto some massive coral trout, with several standout catches pushing the limits. These stunning fish, known for their vibrant red and blue-spotted coloration, have been hitting aggressively on both live bait and artificials. Whether jigging over deep reefs or casting near coral outcrops, the action has been non-stop. One particularly memorable session saw an angler hook into a true giant, putting their tackle to the test before finally bringing it to the boat. The combination of powerful runs and relentless head shakes made for an epic battle, but in the end, skill and patience won out. The best fishing has been on the drop-offs and reef edges, where these predators ambush baitfish in the strong currents. Morning and late afternoon have been the prime windows, with tides playing a big role in fish activity. These back-to-back successful trips have once again set Reefer Sport Fishing apart as the go-to charter for serious anglers looking to target the Red Sea’s biggest and best. If you’re after monster coral trout and an unforgettable fishing experience, there’s only one place to be. Tight lines and see you on the water!

Even though not peak season, we’re still able to track down a lot of activity. Giant calimari experience is something else!

Deep sea fishing for squid a unique experience. Hitting fish on the jig always a blast.

It can be cool either the wind and splashing water- take a few layers to keep warm, but still take plenty of sun cream.

Wir waren im Januar Angeln. Man muss gut auf die Windbedingungen achten und einen guten Tag abpassen. Ansonsten gibt es deutlich mehr Fische im Roten Meer als im Mittelmeer.

Look at the reviews and the pictures in the reviews. There you can see a lot of information. Also look for the targeted species. Slow pitch jigging is possible, but most charters did not offer these technique.

Watch the weather. Especially the wind speeds as it affects Red Sea differently than the bigger oceans.

Choose the right boat (this one)...as you might end up with a snorkel boat where the crew don't have the skills or experience to put you onto the fish.
