You will Ffind most fishing piers packed with fishermen, particularly dur- ing the weekend. If you are one of Kuwait’s many fishing fanatics but you haven’t found an ideal spot for the day’s best catches, Kuwait Times has done the search for you and found some of the best fishing spots in Kuwait. Ali Zaki, a long-time fisherman in Kuwait said: “My fishing time depends on the tides. When it is high tide, I go straight to Shuwaikh beach - it is my best fishing spot.” Zaki told Kuwait Times that “there is also an excellent spot in front of the National Assembly building where you can catch the yellow fin sea bream and the small beji fish, but it’s best to go there at dawn.” Abo Hussein had a different opinion about the best fishing spots. “Some of the best places for shore fishing is the pier at the Scientific Centre. I pay KD 23 per year to use it and get regular discounts. I think it is a good deal if you are looking for a place that is away from the public eye. But nowadays you can find me near the Burj Al-Hamam restaurant because I’m with my family and it is a good spot to be fish- ing with the special ones in your life,” he said. Hussein pointed out that at the Scientific Centre’s fishing pier, you will find a vast array of species such as the yellow fin sea bream, winem, fiskr, buleil, mazizi, subaiti, qarqfan and nuwaibi. “You can also rent a boat for better fish- ing as boats have easier access to ports at all times.” But if you are looking for a place where you can be alone without a lot of fishermen around you, you can go to Balajat’s “special place. There is a secluded place behind the fire station on Balajat Street which only a few people know about. The place is quite good, but you have to be patient to catch the big fish,” Sherif Al-Hattab said. Sitting behind the McDonald’s fishing pier - sadly with no fish in his basket - Forhad Ahbani said: “ I guess today is not my lucky day, but yesterday I got a lot of nuwaibi when I was fishing near Kuwait Towers on Chili’s fishing pier”. Saleh Al-Obaidi was another unlucky fisherman at Souq Sharq’s fishing pier. “I told my friend that Souq Sharq is not a good spot for fishing, but he won’t hear any of it. In my opinion, the best spots are Al-Zour and Khairan’s fishing piers, where you will find many expert fishermen.

  • 'American Idol' Eliminated Contestant Tyanna Jones Takes Us
    ‘American Idol’ Eliminated Contestant Tyanna Jones Takes Us Through Her Emotional Journey By Rebecca White American Idol reality TV star Tyanna Jones has been pursuing music since she was five years old. Growing up in Jacksonville, Florida, the 16-year-old has had a rough upbringing and was even homeless at one point. Her American Idol journey was no less emotional. In ourcelebrity interview, the eliminated contestant says that the show “at times can get really hard. My faith and my beliefs have helped me through a lot of that.” Behind the Scenes of Tyanna Jones’ American Idol Journey Making it into the top five of the singing competition is no easy task and all of the contestants have had good weeks as well as bad weeks. Jones was no different. The Jacksonville native had her own rough patch during the middle of the show. The judges were constantly questioning her choices, even though she was a front runner and power house from the beginning of the competition. The performer says, “My rough patch was a result of all of my feelings at the time and the stress and frustration that comes with the show.” Related Link: ‘American Idol’ Eliminated Contestant Adanna Duru Says the Reality TV Show “Is Like Superstar College!” As an emotional artist, when Jones was eliminated she started to break down when the montage of her time on the show began to play. “I was watching how far I had come,” the singer shares. “It really showed me how much I’ve grown.” Even though she didn’t make it into the top four, Jones still sang a send- off song, Beyoncé’s “Who Run the World.” The performer says that Beyoncé is one of her main influences.

  • Dating Advice: Is Spring the Time for a New Fling?
    Celebrity Interview: ‘Mob Wives’ Marissa Jade Says Marriage & Kids Are Not In Her Future Interview by Lori Bizzoco. Written by Dena Linzer Mob Wives reality TV star, Marissa Fiore (also known as Marissa Jade), may comes across as the ultimate diva and tough girl on television but in our recent interview with her, we learned that there’s a lot more to this doting mother of one than meets the eye. This goal-oriented actress may not be very well known in the “mob” community, but she does hope to become a household name for her acting, modeling and career endeavors. In our latestcelebrity interview on CupidsPulse.com, we had the pleasure of chatting with Jade about her career, her son, and her relationship status. Reality TV Star Marissa Jade Talks About Her Relationship In Celebrity Interview Despite it being the show’s last season, Mob Wives added a few newcomers, including Fiore and Brittany Fogarty. Fiore was infamous for arguments with some of the other cast members, but does not have any regrets. “I’m very happy with the way I portrayed myself,” she says. While some reality TV stars may watch their show and have a cringe worthy moment, Fiore says looking back on the episodes there was no cringe-moment for her. However, she does recall an episode where she showed up in the ‘wrong’ outfit, but says that she doesn’t regret it. “I thought that I was attending a beach party.” she confessed. Little did she realize she was having a sit-down and fight with Fogarty.
