Shore Fishing in Hurgharda

**yorkie1980** · 20-01-2007, 14:36

Hi all,

Just booked a last minute with the missus to Hurghada (flying 2nd Feb for two weeks) and was hoping to take my travel rod and a bit of tackle.

Could anyone (maybe EgyptAngler) share successful tactics to adopt. I usually take plugs, float gear and a few leads when travelling. Any tips on most succssful? Will I need traces? Minimum breaking strain to take? Best baits etc.

I've read the posts on Sharm being no-fishing and assume I am correct in thinking that there will be no probs with fishing in Hurghada?

Finally, does anyone have any hotspots on where I can find some good sport close to shore/jetties etc.?

Im not too fussed about catching monster barracuda or rays, but would really enjoy some good sport

I hope I'm not asking too much, I've been all over web looking for a guide to shore fishing in hurghada without success, so mayb this post can help others in future.

All help very much appreciated, thanks in advance!
