Fishing the Indian Ocean

The Indian Ocean is a paradise for popping and jigging. The many islands and partly unexplored underwater areas there allow for great fishing at the right time of year. The area around Oman and the Arabian Peninsula offers spectacular fishing for GT and yellowfin, while the islands around Africa are particularly good for jigging for dogtooth tuna.

Popping & Jigging in the Indian Ocean

The Indian Ocean is one of the best fishing grounds in the world and offers ideal conditions for popping and jigging, which are particularly popular with sport fishermen. Both methods are ideal for experiencing the impressive biodiversity of this ocean, which is home to giants such as giant trevally (GT), dogtooth tuna, amberjack, barracuda, and grouper. Hotspots such as the Maldives, the Seychelles, Madagascar, Oman, and the Bazaruto Archipelago in Mozambique attract anglers from all over the world and are among the best in the world.

Since the fish in the Indian Ocean are often large and powerful, the right equipment is crucial. Sturdy rods and reels with high drag power and braided lines with a breaking strain of 50–100 lbs are essential.
