Private Charter of Makaira Sport Fishing Boat for 6 hours on 30th Apr 2019
Capt Hussein sport fishing boat seemed well maintained, stocked up with a paraphernalia of fishing tackles and lures. Started off our family fishing adventure on 30th Apr morning at 7.30 am trolling while making our passage out to the open seas. Unfortunately after an hour or so no luck with trolling. We tried our luck jigging and after 30 mins since there was hardly any bite we decided to move to another location to do popping. 25 mins into popping and just as 2nd mate Afsal in jest asked to me to utter some words in the open to express a yearning to get a catch - a short while after that came a strong pull on the rod which crew Hamdhoon was handling. My son took over the fight and after about 15 mins brought up a decent 8 kg GT. After another 30 mins or so a blue fin trevally came hooked onto the lure . After 3 hrs out at the sea, the third GT of about 5 kgs was caught. The deck mates – Alfsal and especially 23 year old Hamdhoon were hardworking fishermen and dedicated crew members making sure Skipper Faarish moved the Makaira from reef to reef to find fish using popping method.They have a passion in sport fishing and doesn’t waste time to get some fishing excitement for anglers on board .It was half a day well spent and glad we came back to the resort with 3 decent catch. Had the Thai chef at Centara Ras Fushi to prepare the fresh fish in 4 different styles for dinner that evening. Thanks to Makaira Charter we had a nice family time out at sea which could have been much better if not for the strong winds and overcast skies that morning.
