Fishing the blue waters and coral reefs at the south egyptian cost
The truth is that you can't fish everywhere in Egypt, but with us you can start a fishing tour from Hamata
The name Red Sea is a direct translation of the Greek Erythra Thalassa (Ερυθρὰ Θάλασσα) and Latin Mare Rubrum which my refer to the direction South, just as the Black Sea's name may refer to North. The basis of this is that some Asiatic languages used color words to refer to the cardinal directions. Herodotus used Red Sea and Southern Sea interchangeably. Alternativly the name of the sea may signify the seasonal blooms of the red-coloured Trichodesmium erythraeum near the water's surface.
However, even though, due to its importance as a trading route to Asia, the Red Sea has been in focus of Europe for thousends of years, only recently, with advent of scuba diving, its extremely rich and renouned biological diversity came into western awareness. To anglers the Red Sea is still Terra Incognita.
Its ichthyofauna is based on indo-pacific and, due to its peculiar ecology, many edemic species. Since the opening of the Suez Channel in 1869 mediterranean (Lessepsian) species have added on this. Some of them thrive the Red Sea in abundance and sizes which the Mediterranean Sea lost long time ago.
Thousands of km shoreline provide a variety of fishing grounds and undiscovered spots which comprise game fish including Barracuda, Groupers, King Mackerel, Giant Trevally, Sailfish and many surprises. With quite a few protected areas around legal fishing hot spots may be a couple of hours away from the harbour. Therefore we do recommend to book overnight safaris but day trips are availabe too. They are especially prone for those anglers who would like to combine sport fishing with a beach resort holiday. The Red Sea is perfect for those who want to engage into big game popping, jigging, trolling and bottom fishing, with diving, snorkelling, kite surfing and may be even sight seeing of ancient monuments of culture. The Red sea is a magnificent destination.

MoreDorado
Dorado dolphinfishThe name mahimahi means very strong in Hawaiian. In other languages, the fish is known as dorade coryphène, lampuga, llampuga, lampuka, lampuki, rakingo, calitos, or maverikos
MoreKing Mackerel
King mackerel are found both nearshore and offshore, often around piers. They may occasionally be found in deep water.
MoreBarracuda
Great Barracuda live in tropical areas all around the world. When they are small they tend to live in shallow bays and other nearshore areas. As they get larger they tend to move out to reefs and wrecks farther offshore. You can often see them as they sit near the top of the water like logs. They are blindingly fast over short distances and cut their prey in half with their mouth full of jagged teeth. They grow to around 100lbs. The biggest one I have personally seen caught was around 45lbs and my best one was a little below that. More
MoreYellowfin Tuna
are highly migratory and seasonal to the Red Sea. these tuna often feed near the surface so topwater techniques can be used. For trolling, you can try tuna feathers, cedar plugs, and plastic skirted trolling lures. Rapalla type plugs also work.

MoreJack or the Giant Trevally
Giant Trevally love large poppers such as those made by Heru, Halco, and many other manufacturers. You cast them as far as you can, and then retrieve them with long sweeps of the rod so that the poppers kick up a lot of water. You should vary your retrieve speed to figure out what they like. Give it a pause to give the fish a chance to strike; you don't want to pull it away from them. The strike is often dramatic as they launch out of the water in a shower of spray trying to annihilate your popper. As with all topwater lure fishing, you have to wait until you feel weight on the end of your line before setting the hook as the fish often miss the lure on the first try.
MoreDog Tooth Tuna
Dogtooth Tuna are generally caught either trolling or jigging. For trolling for large ones a 50 W type trolling outfit with 100lb braided line should be sufficient.
Dogtooth Tuna can because caught trolling Rapalla type lures.
reef drop-offs and ofshore structures
It does have many similarities to the tunas though in some respects it differs considerably. Teeth for example. The reason the dogtooth tuna is called as such are its relatively large widely spaced Conical teeth.
MoreIndo-Pacific sailfish
Indo-Pacific sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) is one of the world’s most charismatic fish species
This oceanic and epipelagic species is usually found above the thermocline to depths of 40 m. It is most densely distributed in waters close to coasts and islands. This species occasionally forms schools or smaller groups of 3–30 individuals but often occurs in loose aggregations over a wide area. It most likely schools by size. This species undergoes spawning migrations in the Pacific (Nakamura 1985), and feeds mainly on fishes, crustaceans, and cephalopods.
They are members of the billfish family, and as such, have an upper jaw that juts out well beyond their lower jaw and forms a distinctive spear. They are found near the ocean surface usually far from land feeding on schools of smaller fish like sardines and anchovies, which they often shepherd with their sails, making them easy prey.
