The Maldives Game Fishing Challenge has been launched for the first time this year by the MGFA and momentum is building rapidly among the passionate fishing community in the Maldives. As one of the main professions in the Maldives and a very popular leisure activity I couldn't think of anywhere more perfect to host a big game fishing challenge.
For any keen fishermen who are planning a Maldives holiday, this sounds like the perfect pastime, although the other half may not quite share your enthusiasm!
The competition takes place between the 10th and 12th of November in the pristine waters around the North & South Male and Vaavu Atolls, perfect for open water fishing like this and up to 80 anglers from the Maldives and other worldwide destinations will compete.
I imagine that the competition will be quite fierce; with the anglers commenting on whose catch is the biggest, healthiest and likely to taste the best! The most sought after catch will include Marlin, Sailfish and Wahoo as well as the more unfortunate named yet delicious Yellow Fin and Dog Tooth Tuna.
Despite fishermen's love of catching the best fish in the Maldivian waters and taking it home for the family to feast on, the Maldives Game Fishing Challenge is following the rules of ‘Tag & Release' so the fish will be released back into the sea after being caught and judged.
As well as the actual fishing events, over the three day period there will also be many other events and celebrations on land for anglers, families and spectators. The grand finale of the competition will be an awards ceremony and dinner, held at a local luxury island resort.
So for any avid anglers out there who haven't had a family holiday yet this year why not book a trip to the Maldives this winter and partake in a spot of competitive fishing while you're there. With an average temperature in excess of 28 degrees and a whole host of luxury resorts with fantastic accommodation and world class food to choose from you can't go far wrong. What's more, the kids will enjoy the great facilities at many of the Maldives luxury resorts and hotels which often include children's clubs, organised activities and dedicated children's menus.
Finally, good luck to all competitors' and may the best catch win!
