One of the most common types of fishing in Maldives is trolling or surface trolling, you can enjoy this method of fishing in Maldives with a local fisherman, in a traditional Maldivian vessel or a speed boat while holding a fishing line in hand while the vessel rides through the waves, enjoying the picturesque views. Also this type of fishing can also be done while you are visiting uninhabited islands. The lure will be skimming the surface of the waters, imitating a baitfish in distress thus catching the eyes of predatory fish, while traditional lures made from hen feathers, and bright nylons are very effective modern lures brought from abroad are also used. Also live baits are used to catch bigger fish such as the sail fish and the giant trevally. The most ideal time for this method is the early morning, and offers you the chance to land in catches like frigate tuna, kawakawa, Dogtooth tuna, Dorado, trevallies, rainbow runners, wahoo, marlin and many other varieties. ‍
