Summary

Skilled in marine safety, expert in crew management and fostering team collaboration, significantly improving fleet efficiency and customer satisfaction.


In 2021 I went out chasing giant trevally for the first time, there is nothing more addictive than watching a huge, angry GT rise up behind your lure and try to chase it down. The absolute chaos that unfolds in the few seconds from when you first see the fish till when it smashes your lure. This makes topwater fishing so addictive, is there any better place for a topwater addict other than OMAN?
