Game Fishing

Game Fishing - Water Sport at Andaman Islands

Game fishing, also known as sport fishing or big game fishing, involves heading out into the open sea aboard a charter boat to catch large pelagic fish using rod and reel. The crystal clear, nutrient rich waters around the Andaman Islands are home to a wide variety of game fish, making it one of the most rewarding fishing destinations in India.

Game fishing in Andaman is suitable for both seasoned anglers chasing a trophy catch and first timers who simply want to enjoy a day out on the water. Trips typically depart early in the morning when the seas are calmer and fish activity is at its peak. Boats are equipped with quality tackle, and an experienced crew guides you through every step of the experience, from baiting the line to reeling in the catch.

Fishing Grounds of Andaman Islands

The Andaman Islands sit amid some of the most biodiverse waters in the Bay of Bengal, with deep channels and drop-offs lying just a short boat ride from shore. These nutrient rich waters attract large pelagic species year round, making the islands an exciting destination for anglers of every skill level.

Depending on the season and location, anglers can target species such as Yellowfin Tuna, Dogtooth Tuna, Sailfish, Marlin, Wahoo, Trevally, Barracuda and Mahi Mahi. Most charters operate on a catch and release basis for larger game fish, while smaller catches can often be kept and even cooked up fresh by your boat crew or a local restaurant.
