Visitors love Goa for the thrill and activities that it offers. The abundant sea waters are a hotbed for water sports and a variety of are the indulgences too, provided you are game! Have you ever tried fishing while staying at Goa beach resorts? If not, it is time to do it now. No one can imagine the spectacular beaches here without a view of the fishing boats and the fishermen either out catching fish or bringing it in. So, do not remain a mute spectator, but take part to have a first-hand experience of the thrill and excitement, which this activity offers.

What to Do?

Those who want to try their hand in sports fishing have to join local fishing boats on their trip out to the sea. With them, you will be able to learn the ropes, so to speak, such as throwing and pulling nets. However, those who want to go for such activities need to get up early in the morning because that's when the fishing boats leave. Otherwise, you can also rent simple, yet practical boats and get out on your own with a fishing rod in your hands.

Getting the Equipments

By going for organized fishing activities, you do not need to worry about finding the right equipment to indulge in your passion. Organizers will provide you with whatever is needed including appropriate baits, spinners, and rods. The resorts in Goa will assist you in finding the appropriate help and the right directions regarding sports fishing. Mostly, the rental boats have enough space for taking on 3-4 people at various places, including Candolim, Calangute, and Bugs docks.

Purchasing Own Equipments

Those who want to purchase their own equipments before indulging in the sports fishing activity of their choice can do so without problems. By getting your personal tackle, you are free to indulge in the activity of your choice anywhere you want in Goa such as the rivers, lakes, and of course at the sea. Those who are starting out can consider places near the Goa beach resorts they are staying and foray on to other territories, once they start gaining experience. As baits, you can use small shrimps and sardines, similar to the fishing people here and the best places to purchase the tackle are at the local stadium.

Travel Agencies to the Rescue

Another way to indulge in the activity of sports fishing is by contacting the local travel agencies. They allow you to indulge in such pastimes, minus any hassles and without making it difficult in any way. On several occasions, resorts in Goa also have contacts with travel agencies to offer you the right help in the form of boat trips that take you to the angling zones where the catch is aplenty.
