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. |
