Fishing in Qatar

Omzky
By Omzky

Been here since 2005 and fishing is not only a hobby but a passion. Aside from Al Wakra, Al Khor and Mesaeed, is there any other place where we can go surf (shore) fishing here in Qatar? We tried Al Ghariya before but it's too far and expensive.

A friend already bought a small boat which we use in Doha Bay from time to time. But we still venture out to go for surf fishing which is more fun (the wife and kid could come at least).

We have a club here called ISDA (Int'l. Society of Doha Anglers) and membership is free. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=204318572208 and www.pinoy-anglers.com (just click on the sub-forum ISDA)

Hey Mohd, something better? Like what? Chase girls or drink alcohol or gamble or drive around the city? Or stay home all day and chat/browse the net? No thanks bro. I rather spend time with my family fishing.

Hi Viniths... I know for a fact that authorities do not allow fishing along the Corniche (except inside the marina near the new Museum of Islamic Arts). These people may not know it but if ever a patrol car happens to pass by, they will surely be warned. It happened to some of my friends before. Actually I agree that anyone should not fish there. It's quite dangerous for joggers and promenaders.

thats marvelous!!! good going guys!!! I am regular visitor to the corniche for the evening walks..i see many guys there fishin. at first I was a bit surprised and confused, whether the law allows fishing by expats. When I was in Oman I had some experience where the locals had objected to this and they are being protected by law, eventually when you are freinds with them they'll provide the entire ocean to you. such nice fellows!!!
