Fishing is not only the lifeblood of the
Maldivian economy; it is also a popular pastime among locals as well as
visitors. Maldivians enjoy a variety of different types of fishing. The most
popular among these in night fishing. The boat leaves the island and anchors
at a reef before the sunsets and darkness sets in. the lines are tethered
with hooks and sinkers and dropped overboard from both sides of the dhoni.
If the fishing is good it gives a lot of excitements to everyone. If not it
gives you an excellent opportunity to relax under the night sky as the boat
gently rocks with the waves.
Morning fishing or big game fishing involves trolling, usually outside the
atoll along the reef. Fishing enthusiasts may prefer to bring their own
equipment if they wish to experience the excitement during their
visit.Almost all the resorts organize night fishing trips at least once a
week. Big game fishing or morning fishing, if not included in the resorts
weekly program, may be organized on request. |
