AboutKit Belen Expertise I can help with tackle making questionsinshore/offshore fishing from trolling,drifting, bottom fishing,light to heavy stand up style fishing, SoCAl iron, japanese vertical jigging,surf/shore/rock fishing...done it all!!!
Been a Pro at one time and I used to produce my own lures for trolling and I tie my own jigs and flies as well. More importantly, I'm always glad to help.
Experience I was a professional guide and a tackle manufacturer, was taken under the wing of a retaired marlin skipper who showed me the ropes and later joined the tournament circuit in my country.
I have put those on hold to pursue a career in the corporate world, but I still fish regularly and make my own lures and flies...I get the chance to travel the world and fish all around. I have experience on making the most out of fishing situations like when you have to fish on boats that are not designed for sportfishing. I generally make things challenging just to see how things tick, along the way, you would be amazed at what you learn.
Education/Credentials I hold a Marketing Degree and am currently work for a hotel company in the eMarketing and Communications field, here in Dubai, UAE.
I had undergraduate studies in Business Administration, Psychology and Economics.

Question Hi Kit,
I am a resident in Dubai(1 year). Although really a freshwater angler I am desperate to try bottom fishing from a boat. Any tips on where to go, how to fish and how to get a reasonable rate.
Thanks
Andy
Answer Hi Andy,
Thanks for asking.
There are boats in the fish ports in Jumeirah that you can ask to take you out, as for the rates, as with almost anything in Dubai, they are hardly reasonable.
The best bet really is to go out and look for someone with a boat and spilt the cost of fuel with him.
as for the rigs, do a google search on bottom fishing rigs and you can use those rigs.
