Andaman Game Fishing
Andaman Game Fishing Grounds & Corridors
Rather than limiting ourselves to a single base, we operate across three defined corridors, each offering its own character, structure and fishing style.
When planning your Andaman game fishing expedition, you can choose between the Havelock, Northern Andaman and Southern Andaman fishing corridors depending on the experience, target species and expedition duration you are looking for.
Game Fishing in Havelock, Andaman
Fishing out of Havelock, Swaraj Dweep, offers a distinctive balance of serious sportfishing and a more dynamic island atmosphere. Known as one of the more active destinations in the Andaman Islands, Havelock provides a lively yet refined base for anglers who appreciate both productive water and an engaging environment ashore.
Well-established hospitality, quality accommodations and a social island setting make it an attractive choice for those travelling with family or groups.
From here, we access renowned grounds including:
Barren Island, India’s only active volcano, rises dramatically from deep blue water, creating nutrient-rich current systems that attract powerful pelagic species. The offshore banks offer structure in open water where large fish patrol pressure edges and shifting thermoclines.
This corridor blends accessibility with world-class fishing potential. Refined, iconic and consistently rewarding.
Northern Andaman Game Fishing Expedition
Remote. Expansive. Untouched.
The Northern corridor is where the Andamans begin to feel truly wild. Stretching across Long Island, Mayabunder, and Diglipur, these waters see minimal pressure, and it shows.
Expect dramatic reef systems, deep drop-offs, and powerful currents that attract large, aggressive pelagic species. The scale here is vast.
Fewer boats. Longer runs. Bigger rewards.
With special permits, the experience can extend to Narcondum, an isolated volcanic island rising straight out of deep water. This is for anglers who want distance from the ordinary and are willing to go further for it.
Southern Andaman Game Fishing Expedition
Operating from Chidya Tapu or Little Andaman, the southern corridor offers a wilder, more isolated character similar to the northern islands.
Ideal for popping, jigging, and trolling, the Southern corridor is built for anglers chasing powerful fish in quieter waters. If the North is about scale, the South is about solitude.
Game Fishing Techniques in the Andaman Islands
Popping
Popping is a surface fishing technique used to target powerful, aggressive game fish around reefs, banks and offshore structures. It is particularly suited to anglers looking for explosive surface strikes and hard-fighting fish.
Jigging
Jigging uses metal lures worked through different depths to target predatory fish around deep water, reef structures and offshore banks. It is an effective technique when fish are holding below the surface.
Trolling
Trolling allows the boat to cover larger areas of offshore water while presenting lures at different depths. It can be used when searching for fast-moving pelagic species across deeper fishing grounds.
Target Fish in Andaman Game Fishing
Depending on season, fishing location, sea conditions and the technique being used, anglers may encounter a range of powerful reef and pelagic species in Andaman waters.
Giant Trevally
Giant Trevally, or GT, is one of the most sought-after targets for anglers visiting the Andaman Islands. Its aggressive strikes and powerful runs make it a favourite for popping and other lure-based techniques.
Tuna
Different tuna species may be encountered across offshore fishing grounds. Their speed and endurance make them challenging targets on suitable tackle.
Wahoo
Wahoo are fast-moving predators known for powerful runs and aggressive strikes. They can be encountered while working offshore waters with suitable techniques.
Sailfish & Other Pelagic Species
Depending on season and conditions, offshore expeditions may encounter sailfish and other pelagic species.
Important: Fishing is naturally unpredictable. Species encounters and catches cannot be guaranteed and depend on weather, sea conditions, location, season and fish activity.
