Night Fishing The MaldivesNight Fishing - What if you had to catch your dinner? This is exactly what happens in many resorts that offer night fishing. The Maldives is unique in that its history depends on tuna fishing, and the local Maldivians are excellent fishermen, using pole and sinker. The resort guests are taken in a dhoni (boat) each with the tools required to catch their own fish. People that do catch something appropriate can have it prepared for dinner by the resort chefs. Leaving the resorts at sunset, the dhoni will take you to the outer edges of the atolls, and fishing is accomplished in the Maldives way. Fishermen in the Maldives do their fishing with pole and sinker, and when the dhoni anchors, night fishermen drop their line and sinker over the side and just sit and relax. What a wonderful way to pass the evening! Fish caught on the Maldives atolls during night fishing will include emperors, snappers, squirrelfish, jacks and other reef fishes. Or maybe you would just love to lay back on the deck of the dhoni, and watch the starry skies... The dhoni's also carry passengers to picnic islands, on tours and to Maldives surfing locations.
