Travel  Socotra . Breath Taking island with Monster GT

 As for fishing, Socotra may be considered one of the best wild destination for popping on the planet, thanks to the quantity and size of the GT found, with an average weight of more than 40 kg, but no trouble get up to 60 kg. More than GT (Giant Trevally), there are many other species that can be caught on popping and spinning, like huge red snapper, grouper of all types, coral trout, emperor, big Spanish mackerel, barracuda, golden trevally, kingfish, barracuda, yellow spotted trevally, black tip travelly, sailfish, dorado, wahoo and marlin. The best month for sail fish and Spanish mackerel are October and November, the other fish are present all year through. Also jigging can be practiced with success. We have amberjack, grouper, sharks, rusty jobfish. Also fishing from the shore offers interesting possibilities, given the presence of bonefish and striped threadfin ( similar to bonefish). We have marked 7 shipwrecks ,which are real hotspot for fishing ( either popping or jigging) and that are well within 15-30 minutes reach from the base camp.

Socotra's plants and wildlife are found nowhere else on this great green earth; which has earned it the title of ‘The Galapagos of the Indian Ocean. Socotra is the most wonderful destination for sport fishing. ’ The Dragon's Blood Tree, the Desert Rose, and  the Frankincense Tree are among the otherworldly plant species that you'll only ever see on this one-of-a-kind 
archipelago. This trip gives you a rare opportunity to discover a next-to-unknown world treasure.
