One other extravaganza in touring Sri Lanka is the component ‘Fishing tours’ in the itinerary.

Apart from commercial fishing, the island offers many thrills with expeditions to water bodies of high concentration of all types of fish. The sea is unspoilt and the shores add glamour to any tourist’s programmed.
Tuna Marlin, Sail Fish, Dorado, Queen Fish, Wahoo, Spanish mackerel, Giant Trevallie, Bonito and Barracuda are some of the species that are found for angling and gaming and mingling among the locals names might be jumbled as area to area it differs. So take along a well versed guide with you.
It is common knowledge that different types of fish surface or swim about at different places at different times of the day, therefore fishing tours are accordingly tailored to avoid disappointment. And areas are selected according to the client’s choice. Most of these tours are parts of a whole tour itinerary. Safety jackets, rods and bait, and other equipment that are from registered manufacturers and are internationally recognized are supplied to ensure safety.
Usually morning fishing tours take off around 6.00 am, leaving the fish harbors, in order to catch them as they surface to have the bite after dawn. During the hours later the baits will be changed. With lures for deeper levels as the fish go down. High speed boats or trawlers are used for this purpose. The return will be around 12.00 noon; whereas the evening expedition will begin around 3.30 pm. The fish generally come up for their bite just before and after dusk and hence the spot is reached at about 5.00 pm and the fishing goes on till 7.00 pm. As in the morning, baits are chosen for different times. A view of the sunset on a western sea adds feature to the fishing tours.
However, different fishing locations will adapt different times and even baits according to the fish variety and the tide. For deep sea fishing tours, the East coast is ideal between May and September while the South invites you between November and April. The inland fresh water (in lakes and tanks) or river fishing tours can be of course all through the year particularly in Kandy among the hills, Balapitiya in the southwest and some in the northwest region.
Also there are a few anglers’ clubs who annually organize competition which arouse the interests of many even from abroad. Now it has become a popular sport in many different fishing areas. Coral fishing, snorkeling, and scuba diving too are included in some fishing tours.
