Fishing the Andaman Islands. Multi–day Safaris.
"Ultimate Hard Core Game Fishing Action"
South–East Asia's newly discovered Marlin, Giant Trevally and Tuna hot spot!
1000 lbs Black & Blue Marlin, Broadbill Swordfish, Sailfish, monster Dogtooth Tuna
and XXL size Giant Trevally, are just some of the big fish available in this fantastic
area. To fish this archipelago is a dream come true for most anglers.
The offshore & inshore fishing and the bottom fishing at night time around these
islands is simply mind–blowing, and will satisfy the most hard core anglers on the
planet. So if you are looking for non–stop incredible fishing action, this is the place to
be. We pioneered live–aboard fishing trips 8 years ago to this location, and we still
think it's the best area we have ever fished! This archipelago of 329 islands belonging
to India located 405 miles North West of Phuket and is a "Paradise" for game fishing.
4 different kinds of billfish can be caught around the islands, with Black Marlin being
the most common billfish near the drop–off areas close to the islands. Further out in
the deeper water, very large Blue Marlin have also been caught and released. All the
Sailfish we have caught here were all over 100lbs in size, and scuba divers have
spotted 3 meter long Dogtooth Tuna, (world record size) and monster Giant Trevally
around the Barren and Narcondam Islands.
The 1000–2000 meter drop off on the east and the west coasts of the main islands and
around the 2 volcanic islands of Barren and Narcondam, offer world class Marlin
action, with Wahoo, Narrow Barred Spanish Mackerel, Giant Trevally, Grouper,
Dogtooth and Yellowfin Tuna also available in trophy sizes.
Inshore popper–casting (from the rocks or from our RIB dinghy) for Giant
and Blue Fin Trevally, Mangrove Jacks and Coral Trout is excellent, and a very
interesting alternative to the offshore trolling action. Day and night time jigging for
Dogtooth Tuna has produced very big fish.
This virgin area has never been destroyed by foreign commercial fishing fleets,
we have been fishing here for weeks without seeing any other vessels. Many of the
islands were forbidden areas a couple of years ago, and some are still closed for
world. For those interested in fishing in one of the last pristine untouched
environments on earth, this is it...
Having fished there for 8 seasons already, this naturally gives us a very good idea of
where to go, but in an area like this, a life–time is needed to fully explore all the
options. These trips should therefore be considered as a fishing safari for adventurous
anglers, who wish to explore pristine waters that have never seen a lure before.
Immigration officials require that you have a tourist visa for India. Fishing Khao Lak
requires a copy, by fax or e–mail, of your visa and passport, one month prior to the
charter.
