Destination Updates |
Andamans We are now midway through the 2015-16 season and time is flying by. The season will soon be done but before that we are gearing up to get the anglers coming to fish with us onto better fish and different species. All the signs are signalling that the big Yellowfin Tuna will be here very shortly with birds, Bonito and Dolphins being seen regularly. Tight lines. |
Sri Lanka Since the beginning of February we’ve had some very good fishing in Kirinda. The weather has been fair with less wind and warmer water. There has been a shift from quantity to size when it comes to GT and we’ve seen a couple in the 40kg - 50kg range. Tight Lines. |

Switching Tactics |
Switching tactics is a good break when the fish aren't biting, after a heavy casting session or even for a bit of a cool down if you have just managed to put that GT of a lifetime on board. You have the perfect conditions: clear water, just the right amount of wind, great current and a sounder marking full of scared bait fish on your favourite GT spot. But the Geets are missing when you go after them with heavy topwater lures. You scratch your head and give it one go after another hoping they will turn on, smash that perfect popper or stickbait you are presenting so well…the result…nothing! On days like this try to be observant and look at what’s going on around you. It’s quite probable the GTs are after different food such as the bait balls of small brown fry or feeding on something they find yummy at deeper levels. |

What do you do? If you are an angler that thrives only on casting, as so many of us do, then try to match the hatch by scaling down lures to what they may be eating or get down to where the action by casting jigs. Does this work? The idea is to try different tactics, vary your retrieve and you could be pleasantly surprised. If you don't get the GTs you could catch some interesting other species such as Coral Trout, Dogtooth Tuna or any of the other colourful species that about in the these tropical waters using these methods. |
Polarized Glasses - a good pair is a must! |
![]() |
A pair of polarized glasses is not just a gadget or accessory in the panoply of the good fisherman. These glasses are absolutely essential when you are fishing. How to choose your polarized glasses ? If you do not need corrective lenses it is easy: * Choose a model with glass lenses (not plastic) from the following brands: Costa del Mar, Maui Jim and Oakley. If you need corrective lenses consult an optician first. They will give you a prescription for your polarized lenses. You can choose the colour of your lenses as above. Frames with a wraparound design don’t allow for prescription lenses but you should still be able to find one that looks great on you. |
