Ajman on the Arabian Gulf offers easy, productive recreational fishing close to shore and on short boat trips, with sheltered waters, reef patches and rocky structure holding healthy numbers of Spanish mackerel, kingfish and large barracuda, along with queenfish, various trevally (including bigeye/giant), snapper, grouper, emperor and occasional cobia and small tuna. Anglers fish year‑round but often find the best action in cooler months using a mix of live bait, jigs, poppers and soft plastics for topwater strikes, or bottom fishing and light tackle drift methods for reef species, while shorecasters can pick up mackerel and queenfish from the corniche.
