GT Popping in South Oman

Al-Hallanyiat, this name has become a synonym for monster GTs. During the last years there’s no spot worldwide which has produced more big fish than these islands, situated 50 Kilometres off the coast of Oman. However all factors have to be in place, otherwise it’s possible that even in the prime season you won’t land one GT. If that’s the case the Hallanyiats still offer a world class light-tackle fishery and jogging for Amberjack.
