The Maldives is a stunning travel destination with plenty of excitement to offer. One of the most interesting things you can do here is to go fishing – it’s your chance to test your mettle against some oceanic giants. So, here’s a look at a few things you should know about fishing in the Maldives.
When to Go
Before you pack up your fishing gear and head off into the Maldives, you’ll first need to decide on when exactly you want to go fishing here. While the fish tend to bite all year round, November to March is the best period for catching some of the larger species.
Where to Go
Where you want to go fishing largely depends on what type of fishing you want to do. Most of the best Maldives resort and hotel establishments – for instance, the Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon – will offer their own fishing tours, so you might want to check with your accommodation provider as well.
Try Reef Fishing
If you’re new to the whole fishing deal, you might want to start out your angling career in the Maldives’ famous coral reefs. This is an excellent opportunity to test your mettle against the small game and get all your basics right.
Reel in Big Game
Now, if you’re up for a real challenge, you should definitely head out into open water in search of a big game. Oceanic goliaths like the sailfish and the marline are present out here and reeling one in is sure to be the experience of a lifetime.
