Absolute blast fishing from shore
I was excited coming to Marsa Alam to try popping and jigging from the shore so I booked a trip with Ahmed. Immediately after booking he reached out to me to check my level of experience, agree on the style of fishing and ‘vibe’ for the upcoming trip. On the trip date, he picked me up at 5:30am and we spent the entire day driving and fishing the impressive reefs around Marsa Alam. We would use the jeep to get to a beach then fish the dropoff for about an hour before changing spots. The first half of the day was spent popping topwater lures and the second half shore jigging. I had about 4 strikes and managed to pull out one Dogtooth Tuna from the sharp corals. The fish put on a fight of a lifetime, at least 3x stronger than from the boat! Ahmed was professional, fun and had great English. I’m already planning a 5 day expedition with my friends next year to experience Marsa Alam fishing to the fullest 🎣


It was a pleasure meeting you my friend, I hope the next time you will land a lot more fish. Thank you for the amazing day.
