The Mentawai Islands are not only a world-renowned surf destination but also a top fishing location.
The rich waters surrounding the islands are teeming with a variety of fish, including dogtooth tuna, barracuda, wahoo, and giant trevally, and more
One of the reasons why the Mentawai Islands are such a great location for fishing is their unique location. The islands are situated in a spot where the Indian Ocean meets coastal waters, driving strong upwellings from deepwater, and creating a rich and diverse marine environment. The strong currents and upwellings that result from this, bring a steady supply of nutrients to the waters around the islands, creating the perfect environment for fish.
