Member since November 2024 Tangalle, Sri Lanka
Background
I come from a family of fishermen, learning the craft early on from my uncle, who taught me the essential skills and values of this profession. Fishing began as a family tradition but quickly grew into a personal passion, evolving from a hobby into a meaningful career. Over time, I dedicated myself to mastering various techniques from around the world, blending traditional methods with new innovations to offer a unique experience. Today, I’m proud to be recognized as one of the most skilled anglers in southern Sri Lanka, sharing my expertise and love for the ocean with every guest I take on the water.
Techniques
I use a variety of fishing techniques to create an unforgettable experience on the water. Popping and jigging are among my favorites, bringing exciting, high-energy moments as we target big game fish. Trolling allows us to cover more water, perfect for tracking down pelagic species. For those who enjoy a challenge, vertical jigging provides a unique thrill as we target deep-water fish with precision. Bottom fishing brings a steady pace and a chance to catch diverse species that dwell near the sea floor. For those seeking adventure, night fishing offers a peaceful yet exhilarating experience, where the stillness of the night enhances every catch. These techniques let me share my passion for fishing in dynamic, hands-on ways, catering to all skill levels and fishing styles.
