Andaman Islands await, a fishing trip for those who want to fish for GT and dogtooth tuna

The Andaman Islands are home to a large number of sport fishing species. The most common and sought-after are Giant Trevally (GT), dogtooth tuna, yellowfin tuna, bluefin trevally, red snapper, coral trout and several different grouper species. There are also opportunities to catch tuna, barracuda, mahi-mahi and other predatory fish depending on the season and area.

The best time to travel is during peak season: October to mid-December and January to May. During these periods, the weather is more stable, the wind calmer, and the fish move more predictably around the reefs. This is when the chances are best for species such as GT, dogtooth tuna, and coral trout.

Yes. You can customize your fishing trip entirely to your preferences. This applies to the number of fishing days, which fishing techniques you want to prioritize, whether you want to travel alone or in a group, and which add-ons you want to include. There is also the option to choose different accommodation, such as a resort, and to add activities and excursions in addition to fishing. You can also adjust the itinerary and change your flight locations if you wish. We will help you put together a plan that suits your level, your goals, and your budget.

To travel to the Andaman Islands, you need a valid passport and an e-visa for India. Your passport must be valid for at least six months after your return date. You apply for the e-visa online, and the process is straightforward. As your trip approaches, we will provide you with clear instructions on how to apply and what information you need to have ready.

The Andaman Islands are an archipelago belonging to India, located in the Bay of Bengal. The area consists of over 500 islands, of which only a few are inhabited. The capital is Port Blair, which serves as a starting point for all onward journeys within the archipelago. The climate is tropical with warm temperatures year-round, and the area is known for its reef systems, deep channels, and rich marine ecosystems. Thanks to limited industrial fishing, the waters around the Andamans have an unusually strong population of predatory fish, making the archipelago a popular destination for sport fishermen from all over the world.

Yes, there is Wi-Fi at the accommodation, but the speed and stability may vary. As the Andaman Islands are remotely located, the connection is usually slow and works best for basic use such as messaging and email. Do not expect to be able to upload large files or stream during your stay.

Fishing in the Andaman Islands is primarily done using popper fishing, stickbaits, light casting, and jigging. The technique used depends on the species, depth, and how the fish are moving on the day. Poppers are used to entice GT to the surface, stickbaits work well over shallower plateaus and along reef edges, and jigs are used on deeper structures where dogtooth tuna and grouper hunt. The guide plans the setup based on weather, currents, and tides to provide the best conditions. It is active and varied fishing that is adapted to the group and the day's conditions.

The Andaman Islands have a warm tropical climate year-round, with temperatures usually ranging between 28 and 32 degrees Celsius. During the peak fishing season, October–December and January–May, the weather is more stable with less wind and calmer seas. The monsoon season primarily occurs from June to September and brings more rain and stronger winds, which limits fishing during that time.
