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 QUESTION: I just moved here from FL, and my 27 Cape Horn will be here middle of Decemeber. I was wondering where I could go to find out what fish are actually out there - heard Kings, Tuna, Sails - how bout Wahoo, other bill fish, what kidn of Tuna? As for bottom fishing I dive so I just go get them. but as for trolling I need to know what is out there and generally when they are in (like I hear Tuna and Sails are getting ready to come in (28degrees temp is target). Any help would be most appreciated.
ANSWER: Hi Sam, thanks for asking.
the sails are close to iran, so with the tuna. best bet for nice fish would be around musandam.
ever since the construction of the palms and the world, fishing turned. kings are still around, snappers and cobia.

QUESTION: I also have the option of fishing out of Abu Dhabi, and have access to the private waters near Ghantoot. So I might head up that way. I was wondering if I should be looking for humps or ledges (I have no idea of what the general structure of the Gulf floor looks like other than it is flat for a long time and fine silt) Obviously either are usually good for fishing but just wondering what is out there. Thank again
Answer Sam, any type if fishing is structure fishing. No matter how deep or shallow.
Bottom features are very important to your fishing success.
on that note, you can find depresions, small humps and shallow drops around the gulf, however, the predominant structures you need to look for are wrecks. Find them, and the fish are there...most of the time.
