The Big Blues offers “Special Popping &Jigging Safari” to the Andaman Islands in India: a worldwide paradise for popping and jigging enthusiasts. You will never sea anywhere else such a variety of reefs and jigging areas so close to each other.

release all the billfishes caught as well as
the sharks. The Big Blues strongly encourages in fact the practice of “Catch and Release”of Marlin, Sailfish and Sharks.Plus, following the latest researches on the use of circle hooks, we have decided to follow up this conservation trend adding the use of circle hooks and its operating procedures especially when live bait fishing.
