and afterwards swore never again to go anywhere near that region on a fishing trip. Although the fishing was good the attendant circumstances were, putting it mildly, a catastrophe. A few decades have elapsed since then and Oman is in no way comparable with Yemen. The Omanis like calling their country Arabian Switzerland. Oman is safe and the people very hospitable. You never get the feeling of being at risk there.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_67593289\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 30px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"503\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/009_05.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/009_05.jpg 503w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/009_05-500x197.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_67593289 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>For insiders in the angling fraternity Southern Oman around the Hallaniyat Islands is a hot-spot for catching monster GTs with poppers. I made a spontaneous decision and booked a week\u2019s popper fishing with the \u201cNo Boundaries Fishing Group\u201d. E-mail communications with \u201cEd\u201d, the lodge owner, went smoothly and the trip was booked in no time. The flight from Frankfurt to Salalah via Muscat took around ten hours. A friendly taxi driver was waiting right outside the arrivals gate with a sign with my name on it. We immediately set off in a Northerly direction for the roughly 350 km long journey to the lodge along the coast. This took about 3 \u00bd hours with a couple of stops to take some photographs.<\/p>\n\n  \n    <div class=\"row large-columns-4 medium-columns-3 small-columns-2 row-xsmall\" >\n  <div class=\"gallery-col col\" >\n          <div class=\"col-inner\">\n            <a class=\"image-lightbox lightbox-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/010_05.jpg\" title=\"\">            <div class=\"box has-hover gallery-box box-default\">\n              <div class=\"box-image image-cover\" style=\"padding-top:150px;\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"503\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/010_05.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" ids=\"15519,15517,15515,15513\" style=\"default\" col_spacing=\"xsmall\" image_height=\"150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/010_05.jpg 503w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/010_05-500x197.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/>                                                              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"box-text text-left\" >\n                 <p><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/a>          <\/div>\n         <\/div><div class=\"gallery-col col\" >\n          <div class=\"col-inner\">\n            <a class=\"image-lightbox lightbox-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/011_05.jpg\" title=\"\">            <div class=\"box has-hover gallery-box box-default\">\n              <div class=\"box-image image-cover\" style=\"padding-top:150px;\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"503\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/011_05.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" ids=\"15519,15517,15515,15513\" style=\"default\" col_spacing=\"xsmall\" image_height=\"150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/011_05.jpg 503w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/011_05-500x197.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/>                                                              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"box-text text-left\" >\n                 <p><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/a>          <\/div>\n         <\/div><div class=\"gallery-col col\" >\n          <div class=\"col-inner\">\n            <a class=\"image-lightbox lightbox-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/012_05.jpg\" title=\"\">            <div class=\"box has-hover gallery-box box-default\">\n              <div class=\"box-image image-cover\" style=\"padding-top:150px;\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"503\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/012_05.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" ids=\"15519,15517,15515,15513\" style=\"default\" col_spacing=\"xsmall\" image_height=\"150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/012_05.jpg 503w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/012_05-500x197.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/>                                                              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"box-text text-left\" >\n                 <p><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/a>          <\/div>\n         <\/div><div class=\"gallery-col col\" >\n          <div class=\"col-inner\">\n            <a class=\"image-lightbox lightbox-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/013_05.jpg\" title=\"\">            <div class=\"box has-hover gallery-box box-default\">\n              <div class=\"box-image image-cover\" style=\"padding-top:150px;\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"503\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/013_05.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" ids=\"15519,15517,15515,15513\" style=\"default\" col_spacing=\"xsmall\" image_height=\"150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/013_05.jpg 503w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/013_05-500x197.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/>                                                              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"box-text text-left\" >\n                 <p><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/a>          <\/div>\n         <\/div><\/div>\n<p>On arrival at the lodge I was shown to my room and set about making preparations for the following day. The lodge is not a hotel and in my opinion not suitable for a family holiday for the simple reason that there is little else to do than go fishing. The lodge is clean and modestly furnished. There are no televisions or WLAN connections. The telephone network functions very well and reading your e-mails or surfing the net with a smart phone is no problem. However, using your mobile via your provider back home can be very expensive. It is definitely worthwhile buying a prepaid card at the airport \u2013 the friendly taxi driver will be pleased to help you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The alarm clock went off at 5.30 a.m. After breakfast we were picked up at about 6.15 a.m. by cars with trailered boats. After a twenty minute drive we launched the boats in a sheltered bay. After that we set off at full throttle (sea conditions permitting) for the Hallaniyat Islands which are some 42 sea miles away. At 8 a.m. we were at long last ready for the serious business of casting poppers and stick-baits.

However, there are no refunds for days cancelled due to the weather and you are given credits for the next trip in lieu. This means that Oman will be getting a second chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ed, the owner of the lodge, is not only a sportive guy but also a passionate popper fisherman who has promised to select a suitable time window for the next trip himself.\u00a0 The two cooks from Bangladesh always prepared fine and substantial dinners.\u00a0The crews all come from Kenya, speak very good English, and are friendly, motivated, helpful and very affable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Omanis are a peaceful and devout people and I found them to be very hospitable. Day in and day out the Imam punctually calls the believers to prayers in the mosque and everybody goes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One thing really annoyed me, though &#8211; and it is something inexcusable in this day and age. You see plastic rubbish wherever you go. Regrettably, the Omanis still dispose of their plastic rubbish in the sea, throw it out of their car windows or just deposit it anywhere in the countryside. The endless beaches are choked with rubbish \u2013 it makes your heart bleed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_362160792\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 30px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"503\" height=\"343\" src=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/043_04.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/043_04.jpg 503w, https:\/\/bluewaterfishing.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/043_04-500x341.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_362160792 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>I appeal to all Imams: Please use your sermons to tell your brothers and sisters not to throw rubbish into the sea or throw it away in the desert.
