I just moved here from the USA and was wondering if there is anywhere to get worms? I know we are in the desert and this may not be possible, but, can't hurt to ask. PS what do people use out here mostly...sardines?

I did find that one. I hit up Garmin the one by Souk Waqif and the Islamic Museum. They did have rods and reels and lures...but I forget to ask about bait...so they have worms??

sparkle, it depends what and where you want to fish,I guess for sherry kalamari or squid works well,for baracuda sardine or mackarel,you can even try a lure,rapala sxr 14 is good for beach casting,for safi you can try wheat flour mix,shrimps is effective but doesnt work if you want to cast some distance,hope it helps and yes for most of the baits you should buy either from fish market or lulu .Tight lines .

Well, usually the ideal way to use or hook up are the worms, but u jus cant find them in here,

We use hardened wheat flour, Sardines

Also, a fake small fish, with smell. u can buy them at the shops. i havent tried it yet,

See your luck, and let us know wat u have caught!

I miss fishing at New york , Hudson river , Ontario Lake!

Shrimps, fish, arabic bread (kubs), are the type of baits they use here. Worms? Some threads here are a can of it! Lol!

Couldn't find any better time to fish than this! Happy fishing! =)
