Fishing in the Andaman Islands – Fishing Season, Boats, and Conditions

Fishing in the Andaman Islands offers stable tropical conditions and a sea where there's almost always something happening. During peak season, from October to mid-December and from January to May, the weather is most predictable and fish move more regularly around the reefs. It's during these months that you have the best chance of encountering species such as Giant Trevally, dogtooth tuna, yellowfin tuna, and coral trout.

Fishing is conducted using several different techniques depending on the situation. Poppers are used when you want to lure fish from the surface, especially GT. Stickbaits work well over shallow areas and reef edges where fish are hunting. Surface fishing is something unique that can only be experienced on these tropical fishing trips. Speed jigging is used when fishing deeper, where dogtooth tuna and various types of grouper lurk. It also happens that pelagic species strike poppers even though they normally stay deeper. This makes the fishing varied and provides good opportunities to adapt to the conditions.

Fishing groups are small to ensure everyone on board has plenty of space. Typically, four people fish per boat. The boat is built for tropical sport fishing with large open areas for easy fishing.

The guides know the area very well and plan the days according to weather, currents, and tides. This way, you get the best possible conditions, whether the goal is aggressive surface strikes, technical jig fishing, or a chance at a really large dogtooth tuna.

Boat

The boat we use is a 38-foot long monohull sport fishing boat made of custom-built FRP material, designed for fishing in tropical waters. Great care has been taken during construction to comply with the latest safety regulations. This makes it one of the few boats filled with solid foam insulation, guaranteeing that it will always stay afloat.

The 38-foot hull is perfectly suited for the conditions in the Andaman Sea. The large open deck space and low gunwales make the boat ideal for popper and jig fishing. The non-slip deck provides secure footing when casting and fighting fish, which is of utmost importance. The boat is also ergonomically designed to prevent bumping into railings, seats, or other obstacles while fishing.

The boat is powered by new twin 250 hp fuel-injected four-stroke Yamaha engines, providing a safe, quiet, and reliable journey.

The GPS is connected to VHF for communication with shore, so we can always stay in contact when needed.

Island Hopping

We are based in Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman Islands in India. This is where your adventure begins, but the fishing extends far beyond the city's harbor.

During the trip, we move between different islands and fishing areas, changing accommodations along the way to always be as close to the fishing as possible. This way, you not only get access to more and better fishing spots, but also the opportunity to experience several parts of the fantastic archipelago during the same trip.

We fish in well-known spots such as Campbell Shoal, Invisible Bank, and Dalrymple Bank, but also in remote and significantly less-fished reefs where the chances of truly large and aggressive fish are often best. The area we cover stretches from Ritchie's Archipelago in the north to Little Andaman in the south.

Our tropical fishing trips are conducted in small groups of 1–4 anglers, providing a personalized experience and maximum time with a rod in hand. You can choose from anything from one-day fishing around Port Blair to longer expeditions of 5–7 days, where we explore some of the Indian Ocean's most exciting fishing grounds.

Every trip is customized to your wishes. Whether you want to focus on popper fishing for Giant Trevally (GT), fish with stickbaits, jig for snapper and coral trout, or venture into deeper waters in search of marlin, our experienced guides ensure you get the most out of your stay. You focus on the fishing – we'll take care of the rest.

Food & Accommodation

The accommodation during your stay is simple but tastefully renovated and of a good standard. Here you stay in bright and functional single rooms, all equipped with air conditioning so you can always rest cool and comfortably after a day at sea. The house has several fresh bathrooms with modern standards that are shared among guests.

The food is prepared by local chefs using fresh, local ingredients. You'll enjoy homemade Indian dishes that are both well-spiced and prepared with care, and dishes can often be adapted to your preferences.

If you catch a tuna or snapper during your fishing trip, you can bring the fish back to the kitchen, where they will gladly prepare it for you in several different ways. You can purchase local beer at the restaurant to accompany your meals.

    Before a fishing trip to the Andaman Islands

    What fish species are found in the Andaman Islands

    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 species of grouper. There are also opportunities to catch tuna, barracuda, mahi-mahi and other predatory fish depending on the season and area.

    When should you go on a fishing trip to the Andamans?

    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 is calmer, and the fish move more predictably around the reefs. This is when the chances are best for species like GT, dogtooth tuna, and coral trout.

    Can I customize my fishing trip?

    Yes. You can fully customise your fishing trip to your wishes. This includes the number of fishing days, which fishing techniques you want to prioritise, whether you want to travel alone or in a group, and which add-ons you want to include. There is also the possibility to choose other accommodation, such as a resort, and to add activities and excursions in addition to fishing. You can also adjust the itinerary and change locations for your flights if you wish. We will help you put together a plan that suits your level, your goals and your budget.

    Passport and Visa Information

    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 send you clear instructions on how to apply and what information you need to have ready.

    Facts about the Andaman Islands

    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 and serves as the starting point for all further 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 Andaman Islands have an unusually strong stock of predatory fish, making the archipelago a popular destination for sport fishermen from around the world.

    Is there Wi-Fi available?

    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 simpler uses such as messaging and email. Do not expect to be able to upload large files or stream during your stay.

    How do you fish in the Andamans?

    Fishing in the Andaman Islands is primarily done with popper fishing, stickbaits, light casting, and jigging. The technique used depends on the species, depth, and how the fish are moving that day. Poppers are used to attract 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 according to weather, currents, and tides to provide the best conditions. It's active and varied fishing that is adapted to the group and the day's conditions.

    What are the weather and climate like in the Andaman Islands?

    The Andaman Islands have a warm tropical climate all year round, with temperatures usually ranging between 28 and 32 degrees Celsius. During 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, limiting fishing during that period.
