The delightful Maldive Islands with their delightful climate and mesmerically beautiful sandy white beaches make a perfect destination for the holidaymaker. Many sporting activities are available in the Maldives for the enthusiast, with the inviting sapphire waters promising a pleasurable experience in the activity of your choice.
Many fishing enthusiasts visit the Maldives to engage in their favourite pursuit, and deep sea fishing is the activity of choice. Typically you will have the choice of boarding a traditional Maldivian ‘dhoni’ vessel or a more modern craft. The waters of the Maldives offer a vast selection of fish to be caught, providing more than 30 different species to draw the interest of the committed angler.
The catches on offer include the mainstays like various trevallies (including the giant trevally), tuna (including yellowfin, big eye and dogtooth tuna) as well as groupers, snappers and other varieties. Species found in the deep seas also include wahoo, dorado, barracuda, blue as well as black marlin and bill fish which include such varieties as the massive sailfish. These powerful species provide the sport fisherman with challenging opportunities which will involve all the abilities of even experienced fishers. Although strenuous and intense, these opportunities will present you with exhilarating experiences rarely found elsewhere.
The thrill of sport fishing provides a unique adrenaline rush which is not experienced in any other pursuit. Many have seen the sensational battles between anglers and powerful fish on video, but there is no substitute for experiencing the real thing. Sport fishing is not a skill to be mastered overnight, but an art to be learned with patience and commitment. However for those who have mastered the necessary techniques the rewards can be great.
Another option for visitors to the Maldives is to sample the native style sunset fishing. You will catch your supper the Maldivian way, after the captain has demonstrated the local fishing methods. The fish are likely to be somewhat smaller than those caught in the daylight hours, but the experience will be just as memorable, and the fish just as tasty.
