Deep-sea fishing, as the name suggests is hunting
for the game fishes that are generally found deep out in the sea.
And the waters of Mauritius are absolutely perfect for deep-sea fishing.
It can be said that Mauritius is indeed an angler's paradise with
such an exotic variety of game fishes on offer.
Deep sea fishing goes on throughout the year in Mauritius, even though
the best season is from October to April, especially for those who
are on the lookout for marlins. This time period is the best as during
this phase, these predators feed very close to the island where the
sea bottom falls to 70 metres that is just a mile from shore.
The deep sea fishing boats are all equipped with state of the art
equipment that includes ship-to-shore radio and trolling equipment
for both live bait and artificial lures. The largest of such deep
sea fishing fleets co are located at the Trou-Aux-Biches and Grand
Baie, namely the Corsaire Club and the SportFish. |
