@solarisN1 - if you are keen in angling in deep water, there are service providers from whom you can hire speed boat, they will take you in deep waters for fishing where you can get good catches based on the weather conditions and timing.. you can always prefer wakra, sealine as most of time u find anglers there at dawn time...

fishing equipment are not that really expensive you will find wide range of combo rod & Reel in many places ranging 99riyals to the most expensive.

a year ago we tried fishing but that was on Cornich near the coffee shop, im not sure in The pearl since i saw most of the place that fishing is not allowed, a friend of mine was fishing somewhere in W Hotel(westbay), someone reported to the police and they caught him and got jailed for 24 hrs along with the QAR 1000 fine, be careful bcoz some places here even its not allowed they dont put signs for restriction

Thanks @paulobanez. So beside places like The Pearl it is rather easy and OK to fish in Qatar? I hope so. Looking forward to a fishing trip once I move there in November!

For the equipment, i dont have any idea, for permission no need, for location there are such places here in Qatar that fishing is prohibited like in west bay
