Big Game fishing in the
Maldivian waters can be one of the most unforgettable adventures of a lifetime
for keen fishermen and first-timers alike.
The islands of the
Maldives form a ridge which shelves steeply
to the depths of the Indian Ocean. The coral atolls boast one of the greatest concentrations
and diversities of sea life found on earth - big billfish are caught within meters
of the tourist resorts.
The fishing methods in the
Maldives are interesting to watch, and bait
less fishing is the most fascinating among them.
Fish caught during game
fishing varies according to the weather. The
Maldives, a country that straddles the
equator, remains sunny almost all year around. There are two main seasons,
however, - the South West Monsoon and the North East Monsoon. The South West
Monsoon, which usually starts in May and continues until August, is the rainy
season. Bad weather in the
Maldives is not common but the varying
temperatures can effect the underwater currents and consequently the movements
of fish.
We’ll be
glad to arrange a great big game fishing excursion on request. The Prowler,
which leads you on the hunt for the “game”, is equipped with all the necessary
equipment, radios, GPS system and heads.
