What to expect on a Barren Island fishing expedition — deep volcanic walls, dogtooth tuna and GT.
Barren Island is India's only active volcano, rising from deep water in the Andaman Sea. For anglers, it is one of the most dramatic fishing locations anywhere.
The Setting
Black volcanic slopes, ash fields and smoke from the crater create an unforgettable backdrop. The walls plunge to great depths right against the island.
The Fishing
Heavy jigging along the ledges targets dogtooth tuna and amberjack, while popping the points can produce big GT. Yellowfin, wahoo and rainbow runner may also be encountered.
Planning
Barren Island lies far from Port Blair and is visited only on dedicated expeditions in settled weather, typically on ROAÄ. Visits are subject to permits and regulations, and landing on the island is not permitted.
Who It Suits
Barren is for committed anglers seeking a true adventure and trophy potential.
