Mentawai Game Fish

Mentawai Game Fish offers unique fishing trips in exquisite and remote locations in Indonesia. They’ll take you exploring the waters surrounding the Mentawai Islands. These lie 120km south of West Sumatra and feature some of the most unexplored and unique fishing grounds you can come across.

Since there’s so little fishing pressure in these waters, the Mentawai Islands are one of the rare places where catching large predatory fish is regularly possible. Along the coastal mangroves and flats, you’ll have the chance to reel in the powerful GT and Dogtooth Tuna, which are renowned fighters.

Alternatively, you can set out and fish the deeper waters. In this case, you’ll use heavy gear and reels with plenty of line capacity such as Shimano Ocea Jigger 2000. Trolling trips can also be arranged if you wish to target the likes of Marlin, Wahoo, and Tuna.

You’ll be fishing aboard a customized 36’ X2K boat. The boat has plenty of space for up to 4 anglers to fish without bumping elbows. It’s equipped with all the navigational equipment, a livewell to keep the bait swimming, an ice box to store the catch, as well as a multimedia system. On board, you’ll also find a toilet.

Mentawai Game Fish offers multiday fishing packages. The trips include lodging (at resorts) with full board, fishing trips, as well as all local airport and boat transfers. You can get more details by checking out the trips in the section below, or by contacting the guide. What’s certain is that you’ll be in for one of the most unique experiences an angler can hope for!
