Best Time for Angling: October to April
Blessed with plenty of beaches, Goa is the ideal place to try out
fishing. Imagine the pride and the winning smile on your face when you
come back holding a couple of fishes and proclaiming it as your prized
catch! Sounds like fun? You guessed it right. Angling sport is a great
experience and definitely a de-stressor for your tired mind. Just head
out with your friends or even alone with a fishing rod and some bait and
just relax as wait for a curious fish to eat the bait.
Some of the most popular catches are rockfish, salmon, mullet, snapper,
etc. You can also catch stingrays and groupers if lady luck smiles on
you! The Agonda beach in the Canacona district of Goa is the most
popular site for angling. You can get the right equipment from the
concerned authorities there. The bait usually consists of shrimps,
sardine fillets and worms. The thrill and pride when you catch a fish
and show it to your friends cannot be described in words.
The best months to indulge in angling are October to April. This is the
time when the seas are placid and there is plenty of fish to catch due
to calm waters. Go a bit away from the shores as occasional swimmers may
frighten away your catch. If you are not too confident about heading out
in the sea, take a local fisherman with you who will be more than
pleased to help you. Make sure you have the right equipment for fishing
and follow the instructions given to you. Here's wishing you Happy
Fishing!
