The deep waters in Negombo are the most popular for this activity due to the challenges it faces and the better yield of fish. There are actually two methods that are used for fishing in the deep seas – namely trolling and anchor fishing. Trolling is where one or more fishing lines or nets with bait or lures, is trailed behind a moving boat or manually moved from side to side. This method is very successful, especially in the morning hours. The other method is anchor fishing, which involves the boat being anchored to a stationary object such as a coral reef or rocky area and the lines being cast. You can click photos with your biggest catch and add it to your innumerable memories here in Sri Lanka.

Your tour will be completed at 9.00 am in the morning or 6.00 pm in the evening depending on the time of day you choose to fish.
