Hi Guys!

I am new in Abu Dhabi (as of November) and would like to join some buddies for fishing. I am a novice but a quick learner!. I will have a car and planning to buy an inflatable boat. Also, I need tips on what kind of rods and reels to buy as I am currently in the UK and I hear these things are better sourced in Europe? 
I would really appreciate your advice with sincere thanks.

MJ
