To Catch the Fish, To Watch the Fish

The town of Goa in India has many beaches. And thus, many activities surrounding the sand, the sun and the water. Many while on vacation, or those living locally, fish. This is the best place to try it out if it’s not something on has experienced before. This is a relaxing way to spend an afternoon, as well as the opportunity to get that prize catch. Many go fishing in groups, but this is a solitary activity as well. Many people come back with snapper, salmon and rock-fish. The lucky may even catch grouper or a stingray. The beach of Agonda is the most popular fishing hole in Goa. Equipment is provided there should one not have their own. Bait, such as sardines, worms, and shrimp can be purchased at the beach as well. For the Goa beach hotel, the busy season for fishing is between October through April. The waters are calm and the fish are plentiful. Most find that the swimmers close to shore scare the fish, so it is necessary to head further out to sea, any local fisherman would be happy to take those out who are a bit nervous about heading out on their own.

And for those that prefer to look at the fish rather than hook them, there are many locations that are perfect for scuba diving and snorkeling. As the fishermen have noticed, the waters around Goa are relatively shallow and are well known for the abundance and the variety of the marine life. There is not the dramatic underwater landscapes some coves and bays boast of, no long reefs of coral, but there is so much life under the waters that it is a fascinating experience in and of itself. This is a calm sport, that soothes the soul. There are also ruins along the sea floor, of ships from WWII. The serene water makes diving and searching the ruins easy to accomplish. Instructors will accompany beginners , so those not familiar with diving will feel comfortable. The best time for diving along the coast of Goa is consequently the best time for fishing, October through April. The monsoons have subsided, the water and the weather are clear, and the sea is calm and welcoming.
