the best spot to catch hamour these days are ALGHARIYA resort if u can get in,coz they dont allow bachelors on weakend.otherwise, u can drive to khor aludied and try ur luck,the best bait probably is the small squid,use 9cm long , full piece on a single no 12 hook,with a steel wire.I caught a 3 kilo hamour at khor al udeid last weakend,but u have to spend the whole night.u can also catch big baracuda with a drifting float at the same location with a full 10 cm long sardine on a treble hook with steel wire.hope this helps
