The Big Blues, popping and jigging in the Andaman Islands

Nowadays everyone in touch with modern fishing is aware that popping and jigging are taking the world by storm, particularly in Australia, Asia and the Pacific. For sure today these segments of the bluewater fishing market are those with the highest growth rates. Techniques and equipment coming out of Japan over the last decade have accelerated this popularity and recently they have become more and more popular also in Europe.

The Big Blues offers “Special Popping & Jigging Safari” to the Andaman Islands in India: a worldwide paradise for popping and jigging enthusiasts. You will never sea anywhere else such a variety of reefs and jigging areas so close to each other.

Light tackle lovers will find as well awesome fishing grounds where to cast bucktail jigs and medium stickbaits.

From January till beginning of April each year The Big Blues organizes live aboard fishing safari starting from Port Blair for a suggested minimum of 5 days/4 nights and a maximum of 6 guests on board.

In this case we recommend all our guests who would like to go light tackle or popping & jigging, to carry with them their own gear.

The itinerary is tailor made each time according to our guests’ requests and of course to the weather and sea conditions at that time.

On board of the Blind Strike you will have the opportunity to explore the most remote islands of the archipelago, untouched waters, where we'll be alone most of the time in one of the last fishing frontiers on earth!

The area is huge and we just started to scratch the surface while the variety of the different environments and the potentialities are really incredible.

GT, Dogtooth Tuna and Grouper are the main dish but also Green and Rusty Jobfish, Bluefin Trevally, Black Trevally, Snapper, Coral Trout and Yellowfin Tuna will offer great entertainment.
