The Goan Friend

This is where you will basically "Learn To Fish"

As they say “The early bird catches the Worm”, the experience begins early
in the morning in Baga. The Necessary gear will be provided depending
on your prior fishing experience. As we trek towards our first fishing
spot, we will brush on the safety requirements for this activity as well
as you will be introduced to the equipment which will be utilized for
the activity. We will fish at the spot until the fish bites decrease and
once you are accustomed to the surroundings we will make our way to
another hidden spot which is very scenic and breathtaking. Make sure you
are ready and your lines are tight at all times, as you may have the
bite of your lifetime.

This Fishing Experience is going to be just the beginning to a whole new
world of Angling. If you are a beginner need not worry, you will learn
to fish from scratch. I will assure everyone experiences the feeling of
“one last catch” having you ‘Hooked on’ for more!

Most of the
world is covered with water, our job is to pick out the best spots to
fish. On this advanced fishing trip, we will head off to sea in chase of
catching the elusive monster fish we always dreamed of. The location is
about 40 mins of sailing from the shore. Once the anchors are away, we
begin casting our lines out, we will try different techniques and baits
like bottom jigging, surface jigging, Popping and soft plastics in
search of a Predator. If the catching is not good at one spot we’ll
quickly move to a different location.

And these are organized in North & South Goa both
