Andaman

 

 

The Andaman Islands and Nicobar Islands are the official names of this group of islands. It is located in the Gulf of Bengal in the Indian Ocean between India and Thailand and it is in this fish Mecca where many a fish heart has been lost to the Giant Trevally and popper fishing. But jigging on dogtooth tuna also produces amazing results. And also many other species like marlin, barracuda, groupers, spanish mackerel, yellowfin tuna, amberjack and so on are also caught. Species enough so in the crystal clear waters with remote reefs and tropical islands. This location is closest to the illustrious fishing spots 'Barren Island' and 'Invisible Banks' where a few large fish are hooked on each trip but simply not caught because they are too big and strong. In addition, the best spots for jigging are also best reached from this location.

 

Read here the reports of our own trip on Totalfishing. part 1, part 2 and part 3.

 

For this fishing we work together with our local partner from the beautiful Havelock Island. This partner has been active here for more than 12 years and knows the different spots like the back of his hand.

 

In addition, we offer a very comfortable hotel where you have high quality beds and rest. We can offer an attractive package at a ditto rate for the tropical fisherman.

The fishing here focuses mainly on popping and jigging around the different, reefs and other underwater structures. Extremely hard strikes, which will make your rod bent into its last string of carbon fibre and which demands the utmost of man and material. Are you ready?

 

GT's, dogtooth tuna, wahoo, barracuda, marlin, tuna, dorado, groupers.... They're all backbreakers up to 30, 40 and sometimes even 50 kilos. When you want some rest you can go trolling in between for yellowfin tuna, barracuda, wahoo etc on some lighter material. For this purpose, all rigging is standard on board. After a day of popping or jigging, a moment of rest for the back is also quite nice. Until you get another bite of course! Then you will have to go back to work. Fishing takes place up to about 25 miles from the departure location.
