18th Nov 2023

Hello, Dubai fishing pals! Planning to go jigging in Dubai? Let's keep it simple – fishing success here is like a dance. Time, depth, and jig colors are your partners. Imagine it as a trio – each has a role, and together, they create the magic beneath Dubai's waves.

Section 1: The Trio's Dance - Time, Depth, and Visibility

Understanding this trio is the secret handshake for Dubai fishing glory. Picture this: as the day ticks on, the colors that fish love change. Depths add another layer – what works close might not in the deep. And oh, visibility – how clear the water is – guides your moves. It's like a dance where everyone has their part.

 

Section 2: Jig Colors for the Right Time of Day

·         Morning (Dawn to 10 AM):

Start with shades of blue in the shallows. Wake up the Kingfish and Queenfish with the morning sun.

·         Afternoon (10 AM to 4 PM):

Switch to chartreuse and pink for the mid-depth fiesta. Trevally and Barracudas love these colors in the afternoon party zone.

·         Evening (4 PM to Sunset):

Change to earthy tones. Brown and green are like a sunset dinner invite for Emperors and Groupers.

·         Night (Sunset Onwards):

Go mysterious with dark blue jigs. Barracuda and Snappers can't resist the night vibes. It is also recommended to use ‘glow-in-the-dark’ jigs for this time of the day.

 

Section 3: Depths Guide - Jig Colors for Different Zones

·         Shallow (4m - 8m): Coastal Colors:

It is often the case that shallow water in Dubai appears greenish in color. Hence, light blue and green jigs are recommended for the 4m to 8m shallows. Coastal colors are mainly aces for Kingfish and Queenfish fun.

·         Mid-Depth (8m - 25m): Shiny Silvers and Chromes:

Mid-depth waters in Dubai are often a mix of shades of blue and green. Hence, silver and chrome jigs are recommended for the 8m to 25m mid-depths. These mimic baitfish and mainly tempt Barracuda and Trevally.

·         Deep (25m+): Dark Blues for the Abyss:

It is often the case that shallow water in Dubai appears blueish in color. Darker blue jigs are recommended for the deep 25m abyss. Such jigs are irresistible for Grouper and Snapper in the mysterious depths.

 

Section 4: Visibility

Keep it simple. Clear water loves natural tones, murky water craves attention-grabbing colors. Natural tones in Dubai mainly revolve around black, blue, silver, and silvery rainbow. Attention-grabbing colors you may consider include white, pink, green, red, and orange. Visibility guides your jig color choices – it's your fishing GPS.

 

Is it possible to catch while jigging if I do not follow the guidance above?

Of course. That’s the best thing about fishing, there are no absolute rules. Our golden recommendation is simple:

If a specific color jig is not getting you any bites, change it! You never know what surprise awaits you.

 

Conclusion:

Dubai fishing is like a song with three notes – time, depth, visibility, and to some extent luck. Gear up, dance with the trio, and let's make your Dubai fishing trip with Ocealics a simple, joyful tune. Happy fishing, pals!
