The best fishing spots in Kuwait are not published anywhere. The ones that keep producing are the ones you recorded yourself: two numbers on a screen, a name you recognise, and a note about the day it worked. This guide won't hand you a ready-made list of coordinates — it shows you how to read, save and share your own.
Any position at sea is two numbers: latitude (north) and longitude (east), written in one of two formats. DMS means degrees, minutes and seconds, such as 29°22'30"N and 48°15'10"E. Decimal splits each degree into a fraction, such as 29.3750°N and 48.2528°E. Same position, as long as you know that 60 seconds make a minute and 60 minutes make a degree.
At Kuwait's latitude, one second is roughly 30 metres north–south and 27 east–west. Mistype ten seconds and your mark sits about 300 metres off — a productive mark becomes empty water.
Simpler than most people think, but order matters:
Never call a spot "the good one". Use date, area and depth — "2026-03-11 Shuaiba 7 m" — then add what made it work: rising or falling tide, first light or dark, which bait. After one season you own a list built on your own results.
Do not run on a saved number you have never seen on a chart. Marks get stored on land, inside restricted zones, or in water too shallow to enter, and trips end badly because of an old point or a different datum. WGS84 is the standard behind consumer GPS and phone maps, so keep your device and your chart on the same one. Read the coordinate out loud to a second person before you move.
Share a precise coordinate with a group chat and you have invited everyone in it to fish your mark. Keep tight, shallow marks to yourself, and when you want to help someone, share a general area rather than a pinpoint.
One case demands precision: emergencies. In a distress call your position must be stated clearly, and DMS is the safest habit, because that is the format rescue crews read fastest. Prepare that number before you need it.
Everything above gets easier with the B7R app, which puts the essentials in one place: tide times for Shuaiba and Shuwaikh ports, sea state and marine weather, the fish guide, the catch log, seasons, and navigation tools. On top sits the SOS button.
Close every trip with a short routine: back at the dock, open the B7R app and log the mark with the time, the tide state and the catch. Thirty seconds today buys you a good trip next year.
The app is free on Google Play and still in its launch phase, evolving with user feedback — if something feels missing, your suggestion gets seen. Download it from Google Play and start building a spot list of your own.
