India is a country of glaring opposites which often catch a visitor unaware. The picture below is of Chennai (Madras) coming in to land and it's a huge sprawling city of over 5 million people! Finding time and space alone in a bustling city like Chennai's almost impossible, let alone space to go out and fish.

But two hours away and across the Bay of Bengal lie the Andaman Islands. They are a union territory belonging to India and have for long been forgotten . Today with the rise in awareness, the internet and boom in the Tourism sector these Islands are slowly coming into their own. Most Islands are inhabitable and covered with thick tropical jungle that spills out onto white beaches or straight into the sea. These Islands also house vast reefs off which we have some of the best fishing in the world.

The series of images below are from a 5 day fishing trip led by Thomas Tan from Singapore. Thomas visited us with his friends and they had an excellent time popping and jigging our areas and coming up with some super fish.

We hope you liked the images and more to follow soon!
