Game Fishing in the Andaman Islands: A Haven for Anglers

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands beaches are mainly famous for their pristine water and their coral reefs bathed in hues of vibrant colours, but interestingly, they also reserved a special niche for themselves in the field of game fishing. This is one of the remote archipelagos lying in the Bay of Bengal and offers the finest sport fishing opportunities in the world. This has thus made the Andamans an extremely sought-after destination for anglers from every nook and cranny of the world. If you are looking to land that big catch or find it exciting to indulge in a sport that involves fishing, then the Andamans provide you with an experience that is just wonderful.

Why the Andaman Islands for Game Fishing?

The Andaman Islands boast a complement of amazing natural beauty coupled with rich marine life. The waters around it are teeming with numerous varieties of game fish, which could be said to be the reason why it is one of the hottest spots for sporting purposes associated with fishing. Here's why the Andamans are touted as one of the best game fishing spots:

Best Conditions

These islands accommodate all kinds of fishing environments—from shallow reef areas to very deep-sea waters that plummet 1,000 to 2,000 meters. Such a range is good for many forms of fishing, from reef fishing to deep-sea trolling, with a form to suit every angling taste.

Catch and Release

While the marine ecosystem remains untouched because the catch-and-release policy is maintained by the local fishing community, it also ensures that the memory of the excitement of fishing within these bountiful waters will be preserved for future generations.

Fishing Highlights in Port Blair and Havelock Island

Most game fishing around the Andaman takes place from two base camps—Port Blair and Havelock Island. Each one is special in its own way:

– Port Blair:

Beginning from the capital city of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Port Blair, these are the best-fitted harbour boats made for fishing. For instance, some of these twins of 225HP Optimax outboard motors come equipped with facilities, such as an on-deck fighting chair, air-conditioned cabins, a fully equipped galley, and a toilet. These boats would ensure maximum comfort and efficiency for anglers onboard while they pursue their love for fishing.

– Havelock Island

This popular island also has an effective fishing opportunity with its different boats allotted, such as: 

 – SNAPPER: 

This is a 29-foot boat with a 60 HP 4-stroke motor. 

 – MAHI MAHI: 

A 32-footer with a 150 HP 4-stroke outboard motor head. 

 – ORCA: 

A running 100 HP 4-stroke motor driving this 21-foot boat. 

These boats can be rigged for every fishing style the human being knows, from trolling to jigging.

Equipment and Services

All the right kinds of gear are much needed for a successful game fishing experience. The fishing tour packages in the Andaman Islands include all the high-end and professional-level gear for trolling, popping, and jigging to experience the difference at personal levels. You must carry the robust materials for at least 80 lb. test braided lines, robust hooks, and robust rods and reels to catch the big catches.

Some of the packages under fishing tours include:

– Snorkelling Kits:

Also available to people who want to spend some precious time under the water after a full day of fishing.

The trips offer lunches packed with bottled water, soft drinks, and refreshments, such as fruits, to keep the angler’s energy levels up and him or her refreshed throughout the day.
