Catch of the Day
This is Winnie, one of my sistahs in Dubai. This is one of my trek pics, straight from a point and shoot camera :)
We went trolling and fishing in the middle of the Persian gulf in our chartered yacht. I caught lotsa different fish but she caught a lot more! And big ones too! The one in the pic is not that yummy though. Do you know what is it's species? I forgot! :)
They must have been attracted to her squid baits more than to my shrimps! :)
Our tummies were full of grilled hammour and other stuff later. Yummm!


Perhaps I'm being sentimental these days coz I'm posting pictures of people that I knew and became friends with. I'm excited about the new frontier that is waiting for me but I will be missing the people that I have met.
I'm sure I'll be back! :)

Hi,
Nice fish (good pan size) I used to fish in the persian gulf off the coast of Bahrain, unfortunatly there are few fish left due to the greedy government /royal family destroying the habitat to build Palaces and executive housing etc on landfill! Sorry did'nt mean to go on a rant nice pic.
Cheers
Tom

P.s hammour is delicious is'nt it.

Congratulations Winnie!
Precioso y divertido momento.
Buen encuadre y acertada exposición.
Saludos Fred. Juan Luis.

hello freddie,
nice picture f your sis fishing. Well composed and sharp too.
By the way, your sister probably caught more fish due to her female pheromones. There is supposed to be some scientific proof to this.

Hi Fred, This is a classic fishing story! Good clarity and good pose too. She is honest by not holding in front so as to make it larger! TFS. Murray.

As long as you ate everything you caught! Fish-fry on the beach is always nice! Good picture with clear details!

Hello Fred !

I am not a fisherman . So I must admit i do prefer Winnie as the catch of the day . Memorable moment . She does not seem comfortable holding that catch!

The beauty in travelling is meeting people. These days , it is also extended to communicating live with people all around the world at the same time.

Perhaps the world could become much more peaceful in a near future. Keep on Trekking !

Cheers!
Robert

One to remember
And for use nice to view
RuudBlok

Jan

She will have the dinner for the day! :) I enjoy how hit look. For sure we don't have that kind in our rivers i would say... It look enough solid to give a good challenge :)

Salutations.
Michel

Hello Fred,

Wonderful photograph and a very beautiful lady!
Congratulations twice!

Hi Freddie, this is a nice Gulf catfish, they fight like hell but are not brillant to eat. Hamour, Channad, Sharie and Dwailmi (small barracuda about 750mm to 1 metre long) are among the best eating in the Gulf. Here in Bahrain the fishing is deteriorating fue to excessive land reclamation from the sea which messes up tidal flows and destroys the breeding grounds for the small species that form the lower end of the food chain.
Best regards,
Les
