Fishing Trip to Smaysma
Date: Thursday 26 July 2007
Time: 6:00 PM
Following extensive discussions with sasa412 and King Edshel, went today with sasa to explore the place. It is located on the way to Al Khor going straight from Qatar University / Golf Club area.
The place is very neat and convenient for both fishing and crabs catching. There is a nice beach and a jetty next to it.
So the plan is to catch crabs and do some fishng. Will meet at the set date and time at...:
West Bay Petrol Station
between Qatar Sports Club or Gulf Helicopters Compound and Rainbow roundabout
Istiqlal Street
Will move at 6:30 maximum. For those who are interested and cannot get to the assembly point at the set time, can follow us to Smaysma which is 30 Kms from Qatar Sports Club roundabout and then turn right when you see Smaysma sign, keep going straight. You will reach diectly to the beach. The road does not need a 4WD car.
Participants should be equipped with the necessary gear and personal stuff.
For those interested in crabs catching, you will need:
1. Bucket
2. Torch with sufficient amount of batteries
3. Thick gloves
4. Beach shoes
5. crab trapping stick
For those interested in fishing, will need to have:
1. fishing gear
2. baits
3. beach shoes
4. torch
Each participant to get his/her personal stuff like:
* cool box with sufficient ice
* soft drinks/water
* snacks
* tea, coffee
* cigarettes and lighters (for smokers)
Everybody is welcome. Confirmation is appreciated. For those interested and confirmed, I will send later (tomorrow morning) thru PM my mobile number.
Planning to stay there till after midnight.
did u guyz catch any fishes ? ? ?
good morning my friend. I am sure you feel sad coz we had to leave early yesterday. fishing was really fun.
I took my share to the fish market and had it cleaned there. now am getting ready to start praticing my hobby of cooking fish on friday.
thank you sasa
regards
good morning every one , i do not know what to do with all fishes and crabs if some one need some let me know :)

juantie.
The trick is simple. get some sea week, spray crab male or female aroma at it and wowwwwww. You cannot imagine the scene.
owen. would like to see you running aftar or from a crab.
Guys. Now am stuck. Thank you for my share but I have to take care of cleaning and cooking.
Bonne appettite for me:))))))))))))))
like your imagination...could also imagine them all running after one crab..:D
what did you use for bait?? what tempts a crab out of his hole in the sand? and once the crab was out and running sideways back to the sea did you all race after him like Hawaiian natives in grass skirts, waving your sticks about trying to beat them?
Whoa - my imagination is running riot here lol
grrrrr...now, with all envy...
anyway, good to know that all of you had fun...:D
they really missed the fun damn bad luck no worries next time will take them or guess will DRAAAAAAG THEM WITH US. :D

Sorry guys, won't make it.
it's my last weekend here and i have a lot of things on my head lately, so i guess i'll pass.
but sure, next time would like to join u :o)
Enjoy!
If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.
you bet:)
Maaan...u really don't know me :P
If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.
To make things easier there, it is not necessary that each participant to be well armored.
For those concerned about shoes, you can use an old tennis shoes and that will be fine.
The proceedings there is that we will scanning the beach in line (next to each other) like those detectives inspecting a crime scene for evidences. It is better if all have torches and those sticks. Not everyone should be a catcher (the one who catches the crab) but everyone can be a trapper(locating and trapping the crab). Hope I did not complicate the issue. It is very simple.
irrysa, IF you join us, I expect you screaming and possibly fainting everytime you trap a crab and all the nice guys will rush to assist. Worst will happen if the crab tickles you. You will be inside the water so am not concerned about the traces and evidences following that:)
same here..we will see..
I should SMS all u guys when im in Ponderosa havng some nice sea food or a yummy steak under the nice A/c mmmmmmmmmmm
Have a melting time ppl :)
The crabs here are not like those "muscled" ones we see in movies. They are rather tickling type.
I will be there (West Bay Petrol Station) waiting for you in a Toyota Corolla, champagne color.
Owen, no i don't have a ride yet :o)
not decided yet if coming even :P
thinking about it, we will see.
If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.
can be bought from any sports shop
Recommend going to City center 2nd floor (I guess) there are many outlets: Olympia, Sports Corner, Galaxy, Sun & Sand (Hope this name is correct)
Important note: There is a shop at the beach and it is about 50 meters away from our planned location.
goodness really driving me nuts..(you know what i mean)..you have a ride with you? coz i dont have..:(
can be done with your bare hands too. It is not an issue, just tell me now who is coming now and who is not. The location and the timings were very clear in Kellys Thread [thank you for that man], please check them.
Cheers
ya, and u would sacrifice me, huh?!
oh well...feeding the hungry ones would be a good cause i guess :P

[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]
DaRuDe> we can buy char coal from anywhere man, Al Khour is near and we can bring anything that we need from there ... they got even Baskin Robbins there :)
Irrysa> Let us first find those Crabs to grill ... otherwise .. I'm sorry but we have to find someone there to grill, one would feed the whole group :D
I was planning to come to your meeting place to see you..damn....now you are going from shahaniya...lol
All you guys please make sure your hands and feet are well protected...normally crab catching hurts your fingers and feet..
i mean if we ain't going to eat it, then why to do it anywayz :D
i have seen people doing that kind of "BBQ" near sea line :P
If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.
if ur friends are coming welcome no worries about that.
fire at the beach hmm depends if there were any woods around i will do that.
well i can stay till dawn or till other dawn. :D
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]
Nice Tarpon fish and fly fishing rod. That kind of species of fish does not exist in this waters.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds..
we can let the whole place in fire if that is what you want, just let me know ... I would be ready with my car switch on to insure quick evacuation of the place, run for your life ...
We can of course, depending on if we catch something or not, ... I can't get the seasoning stuff with me and in case we got something ... Al Khour is only 10 minutes from there ... we can go and buy the needed stuff and come back :)
where shall we meet exactly?
how long r u planning to be there?
i can bring some friends with me
If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.
i'm here i'm here!
sorry, got occupied at work :P
plastic shoes? and where will i get those from?:o)
hey, are we going to have them done on the beath after we catch them?
that would be really nice :o)
i am not sure if we would be allowed to have a fireplace on the beath though...
how do u guys plan it?
If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.

Just PMed you my contact number if you decided to join.
The shoes should be plastic or silicon. The important thing is to have a slightly thick bottom to protect against rocks and sharp objects. It can be a sandal and not necessary shoes.
HMMMM forget it just come dont worry .
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]
what should be our shoes, if ever..
and irrysa, where are you lady?..:)
if you both wana join ok get along with Kellyheroes i will get there too shooooting from shahniya to smaysma. i got the fishin gear and so does the others i got the crab hook long stick too. but make sure about ur shoes.
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]
am more interested for the long road trip...and watching all of you guys catch the crab and fish (if ever you would)
..anyway, we will see..i know that you all have finalized your plans about this..:)
I've got just two sticks to catch Crabs this morning along with two gloves. Will try to escape the office early, fetch my friend and go home to get the fishing gear ... who knows .. tonight there would be a half moon and the chances for catching fish are good when there is any sort of light, just like the moon light in the night.
Will try to finish as soon as possible and catch you there guys, ...
Everyone have a nice and pleasant day ...
are you sure you want to come along..coz, im interested joining these guys for a change..lol
hello!
any ladies going?
coz i'd like to go too :o)
If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.
Good morning.
make some contacts and try to get some lady friends. The place is wonderful. Unfortunately Novita will be taking her husband to the airport, guess Karwa is cheaper and more convenient :)
Anyhow Owen. The decision and arrangement is yours. We hope to see you among us. I promise if you get bored, then will start chatting about SAP and Oracle Financials and I promise and assure you that within 2 minutes you will start yawning badly.
hmmmm...guys thing again..no ladies to join..am interested, but sadly..i will be the only one..:(
Good morning.
You can simply sit inside the car, put on the AC and lay ur fishing line through the window.
Guys.....i would love to come, but not in this weather...So next time when you people are going, i will be there...
so enjoy !!!! looking forward to the next one...

Sorry for being away for a couple of hours.
King. Hope you are enjoying the dialup connection. Its like a diesel engine that did not warm up enough.

Juantie, what type of snake senti legs look like.
Sasa. Thank you for the compliment. Guess our trip was fun.
DaRuDe. There might be some mobile radars my friend.

Kelly & Sasa ... Thank you guys for taking the trouble of inspecting the place, hopefully you enjoyed the inspecting trip which is normally kind of fun because you don't worry about if you will find fish there or not :)
DaRuDe, how are you doing buddy? Dude .. Novita is a nice lady .. try to let her breath man :) Let her post something here on our thread ... the pleasure would be ours to see her posting here.
Novita & Alexa Wish that you can join us, there are some ladies who are really interested in joining us but while there are no other ladies joining they won't come .. they got a strange feeling that they would be alone among the men who would be teasing them ... and I was like , ... Com'on ..with those smelly hands? You can do better than that guys!!! ...
Good night to all of you and hope to se you all tomorrow, will catch you later like 8:00 PM

Family affair? so we should work hard till that time to have bachelors change their status to married/attached.
Looking forward for all of you to participate in the future.
DaRuDe. When me and sasa412 inspected the place, it was about 6 PM, the weather was relatively excellent.
I know you are a softie, but why you always being 'nasty' to me on line :-(
why not and if no crab was available will bribe u to them so all of them come out :D easy to catch all :D
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]

It is our bad luck. Wishing your husband a nice and safe trip and wish you a none-boring period.
i know all the cams and radars in Qatar.
there are 5 speed radars on alkhor road 2 right side 2 left side and the middle one both side :D
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]
Had to take my husband to the airport in that time, but defenitely we will join crab hunting if you make another one. Never done it before.
Will be our pleasure. But mind you, we have noticed a couple of speed radars along that road.
Great job you both sure.
