<\/span>Because Phu Quoc is facing overfishing and the fish we can catch in Phu Quoc\u2019s sea is getting smaller in size with very low catch rates over time, OnBird does not organize Deep sea fishing tours anymore, this is also our commitment to conserve the marine life of Phu Quoc.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We\u2019ve usually received questions from holiday-makers that do our snorkeling trips include fishing activities yet.<\/div>\n
Our answer is ALWAYS NO as we don\u2019t like some other tour operators whose aim is for tourists to experience the sport of fishing.<\/div>\n
You may be amazed by the fact that most of these kinds of fishing trips will take place on touristy-big wooden boats and speedboats. Tourists usually catch\u00a0small-sized ones<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0unadult fishes<\/strong>\u00a0under 0.5 kg with a simple fishing reel.\u00a0This so-called \u201centertaining fishing\u201d has been destroying the marine ecosystem in Phu Quoc water.<\/strong><\/div>\n

STAY AWAY FROM SNORKELING TOURS INCLUDING \u201cFISHING\u201d- SAVE PHU QUOC<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thus, as for genuine fishing activities that you can engage in on Phu Quoc island, we recommend a\u00a0Deep-sea fishing charter.<\/a><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at what exactly Deep sea fishing in Phu Quoc is!<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Deep-sea fishing<\/a>\u00a0in Phu Quoc is a kind of fishing that requires a trip out into the Gulf of Thailand, which is regarded as a must-do experience when in Vietnam! The water depth should be at least 25 \u2013 30 meters to be considered a deep-sea fishing area. If traveling by boat tends to make you a little queasy, then plan and be ready with the proper medication. This fishing technique is typically referred to as sport offshore fishing or big game fishing.<\/p>\n

<\/span>How does Deep Sea Fishing in Phu Quoc differ from regular fishing?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Delighted you asked!<\/p>\n

<\/span>1\ufe0f\u20e3\u00a0Firstly, it\u2019s a charter trip.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

As deep sea fishing is not so popular activity for tourists like snorkeling or island hopping trips in Phu Quoc, you\u2019re usually required to charter the wooden boat (sharing this with your own group).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/span>2\ufe0f\u20e3 Dry season, both day & night time<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The best season for deep-sea fishing in Phu Quoc is the DRY Season which starts from October till early May.
\nThe Phu Quoc Deep-sea Bottom Fishing Charter takes place on a wooden fishing boat that is equipped with GPS Sonar guests can join both Night-time or Daytime fishing.<\/p>\n

\u2611\ufe0f Day-time Fishing 6:30 AM \u2013 2:30 PM (Including lunch \u2013 drink)
\nFor daytime fishing: could visit a snorkeling spot if having enough time left<\/p>\n

\u2611\ufe0f Night-time Fishing 5:00 PM \u2013 00:00 AM (Including dinner \u2013 drink)
\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span>3\ufe0f\u20e3\u00a0<\/strong>Fishing Target:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

These are entirely different from your routine shallow-water fish. We are talking big game fish \u2013\u00a0Barracuda, Grouper, Queen Fish, Giant Trevally, Cobia, Spadefish\u2026<\/strong>to name a few. You usually will not find these types of sports fish closer to shore, as they need open and deeper waters to feed. Vacationing swimmers and sun-seekers are grateful for that. You then enjoy your self-caught lunch or dinner.<\/p>\n

<\/span>5\ufe0f\u20e3\u00a0<\/strong>Deep Sea Fishing Suggestions<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Be One With Nature<\/strong>.\u00a0 Your\u00a0deep-sea fishing<\/u>\u00a0guide through experience knows how to see indicators of where the big fish are located that a beginner may not catch.\u00a0 Schools of smaller fish mean that larger fish are also in the same area.\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Motion Sickness<\/strong>. As we mentioned earlier, this is something to consider if you are an amateur who has never headed out deep sea fishing. The purpose of the journey is expected to be thrilling and satisfying. It will turn out to be very different than anticipated if you are susceptible to movement illness. There are medications you can take to alleviate a few of the signs, however, if you are truly vulnerable to it, then reevaluate the deep sea fishing idea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Choose Experts.<\/strong>\u00a0It is a smart idea to have someone on board as your guide who understands a lot about deep-sea fishing. If you are new to deep sea fishing you should never travel in a group alone as this is a sport that is more dangerous than your average fishing exploration.<\/p>\n
