They monitor the sea and the weather and decide what will work the best. The captains who route from Port Blair and Havelock Island are very trained at their best. They also guide with all the techniques that will help the on - boarders catch fish quickly.
1. Trolling
One way they do this is Trolling. This is a way for beginners to catch fish. They put bait or a fake fish on a line, and the moving boat makes the fake fish look alive. This attracts the big fish and this is a great way to catch tuna, mahi - mahi and barracuda in the Andaman Sea. This method can be used at the beginning of the trip to locate the big fish. Trolling is ideal for maximizing the chances to catch a fish quickly.
2. Jiggling
Another way is called jigging. This is a bit harder. You have to be strong. You drop a heavy metal near the reef points and then you pull it up, jerk a little up and down to make it look like a fish swimming. This is good for catching fish like Trevally that live near the reefs. Jigging is a very exciting way to do game fishing and if you are looking to catch strong reef predators.
3. Popping
Another method is called popping. This one is very interesting. In this method, splashing and popping sound works the best. These actions trigger strikes from Giant Trevally. This is a great way to catch the species in an adrenaline - filled experience, mainly for the people who love explosive surface strikes.
Generally, the captain decides what technique to use based on the waves and weather. They often use more than one method to make sure they catch hold of a great fish. This approach and well aligned strategy makes sure that everyone enjoys and has a memorable fishing adventure in the Andaman Islands.
