Game Fishing:
Game Fishing or sport fishing is a term given to recreational fishing for leisure and adventure. The anglers love to chase fish for the sheer thrill of the sport and love for the fish. The sport involves catch and release practices aimed at building awareness and conservation of fish species. It also provides an opportunity for anglers to learn about fishing, which is a very adventurous and competitive sport involving various skills, and to learn about various species and the importance of their conservation.
The Andaman Islands have remained relatively untouched until not so very recent times. With very limited commercial fishing in these vast expanses of the sea in all corners and fishing activity restricted in reefs, many unexplored and untouched fishing spots have allowed a wide variety of fish to grow big. If you get a chance to try your hand at angling, keep an eye out for all the variety of big and small fish from reefs, creeks, and the open sea.
Types of Fishes Found in Andamans:
- Blue Marlin

Tips:
You must leave at 8 am in the morning from Havelock Island to return by 5 pm in the evening if you look forward to clicking awesome pictures with a scenic view at the backdrop.
The perfect fishing spots in the Andamans are Neil Island and Havelock Island.
The fishing community of the Islands strictly adheres to a catch and release policy. The entire ecosystem should not be harmed because of a sport. By cooperating with the community, you derive a sense of happiness by not disturbing the natural ecosystem at the cost of fishing.
