Game Fishing

Fishing in the Andaman Islands is a fantastic experience for anglers and adventure enthusiasts alike. The Andamans, surrounded by the nutrient-rich waters of the Bay of Bengal, are home to a diverse range of fish species, making it an ideal destination for both recreational and sport fishing. The islands' untouched coral reefs, mangroves, and deep-sea locations provide excellent fishing grounds.

The Andaman Islands are relatively under-explored in terms of fishing, which means less fishing pressure and an abundance of marine life. Here, you can expect to catch both small and large fish species, including tropical reef fish and powerful pelagic species. Fishing here is sustainable and regulated, ensuring that the marine ecosystem remains preserved.Numerous operators, especially around Port Blair, Havelock, and Neil Islands, offer organized fishing tours with packages that include equipment, guides, and sometimes refreshments.

Conservation and Regulations:

• Popping and Jigging: These are popular methods used in Andaman, especially for catching giant trevally, dogtooth tuna, and other large predators.
• Trolling: Ideal for catching pelagic species like marlin, sailfish, and tuna.
• Deep Sea Fishing: For big-game species, targeting deep waters off the continental shelf.
