Pakistan offers some of the world\“s most spectacular saltwater fishing destinations along its 1,046 km coastline. The Arabian Sea provides excellent opportunities for both recreational and commercial fishing.
Karachi\“s coastal areas, particularly the waters around Manora Island and Cape Monze, are famous for catching giant trevally, queenfish, and various species of snapper. The mangrove forests of the Indus Delta serve as breeding grounds for numerous marine species.
Gwadar, located in Balochistan, has emerged as a premier fishing destination with its deep-sea fishing opportunities. Anglers can catch yellowfin tuna, sailfish, and marlin in these rich waters. The Ormara and Pasni coasts also offer exceptional fishing experiences.
Traditional Pakistani fishing methods include the use of handlines, gillnets, and cast nets, reflecting the country\“s rich maritime heritage. Many local fishermen still use wooden boats called \“houris\“ for their fishing expeditions.
The best fishing seasons are from October to April when the weather is pleasant and the seas are calmer. Local fishing communities often welcome tourists and can provide guided fishing trips using traditional methods. |
