Sri Vijaya Puram, the vibrant capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, stands as a premier gateway to world-class game fishing in the Indian Ocean. Renowned for its access to pristine, biodiverse waters, this destination offers thrilling opportunities to target iconic species like Giant Trevally, Yellowfin Tuna, Dogtooth Tuna, and majestic billfish including Blue Marlin and Sailfish. Anglers can explore legendary fishing grounds such as the volcanic Barren Island, the deep-water havens near Cinque Island, and the reef-rich ecosystems around Rutland and Havelock Islands.
The prime fishing season extends from October through May, when calm seas and optimal conditions create ideal opportunities for popping, jigging, and trolling techniques. From the bustling departure point of Sri Vijaya Puram, expert-guided charters navigate to remote, less-pressured locations where catches of trophy-sized GTs and pelagic predators are common. These charters provide tailored experiences across diverse terrains—from shallow coral reefs to deep oceanic drop-offs—ensuring unforgettable battles with hard-fighting species unique to the Andamans.
Beyond the angling action, Sri Vijaya Puram serves as a cultural and logistical hub, combining rich historical sites with modern amenities. Its strategic location allows seamless access to the archipelago’s most prolific fishing zones, cementing its status as a must-visit destination for serious sport fishers seeking both adventure and variety in India’s tropical paradise.
