- Today I decided to walk around the flats in The Maldives with some light tackle, fishing for anything that bites. Flats fishing in the Maldives is amazing and always succesvol.
In this video I am fishing in Maafushi, an island of Kaafu Atoll. I catch some snappers, emperor and grouper. The needlefish are also always around.

Hope you can come here again, I'm a maldivian and I like watching these types of fishing videos hope you can do more here, I'm sorry for my bad grammar, I'm still practicing, keep the good work up! ;)
Thank you for your kind words 😀. I really hope I can go to the Maldives again in the future. It is such a beautiful place 🌴 ⛱️. I hope I can plan a big fishing trip in the Maldives next your of the year after 💪
I'm also maldivian and I also enjoy ur vids they are pretty good contents to watch to relieve my boredom hope u do more of this fishing vids in maldives
Wow almost every cast 🎉
Great work 👍🔥🔥
Love to eat those fish... Emperor are supper tasty ❤
very nice sport...
So much strik...
My contry is so buteful
hahhahahahah it is a very good fight but nice catch
Wonderful video mate.. 👍👍
nice snapper
You missed a few at the start, maybe hook a little harder or get sharpened hooks. Nice video tho
Thanks, appreciate you watching. Yea I missed a couple, but most of the fish I missed are needlefish. They can be pretty hard to hook on lures because they have so many teeth 😉. Still fun day on the water 🎣🙂
Cover the fishes eyes this will calm them when ur un-hooking them
Thanks for the tip 👍
But it might now work with bigger fish but the ones u caught it will work
Great video sir😉
Thanks, I appreciate your comment 😃
It’s 2024 I landed up on this video haha , may I know which islands to go shore fishing at thanks cause I am planning to go to Maldives
This is on Maafushi, a very popular destination. I also fished a lot on Thoddoo (check out my newer videos). Keep in mind, you are only allowed to fish on local islands (islands where the locals live). You cannot fish on resort islands.
@@chizzyfishing thanks for the amazing tip, i am watching your videos to get a idea for my dream trip,
Well that looks like a dream spot. Wonder if any of those fish are good eating?
Fish like the emperor are pretty good eating. 👍😉
Spr fishing 🤝what a nice place 😎
It is 👍 hope I can visit again soon.
Auf welcher Insel warst da?
This was on Maafushi.
Which island is that?
This is on Maafushi 😉
What bait did you use in this video?
I'm going to Maafushi in two weeks. Spinning is always with me. How do I find this location? Did you catch with Thoddoo?Where are the fishing spots located?
Nice. This is on the north-east side of Maafushi. There are less tourists swimming on this side of this island and there is a deeper hole where a lot of fish (like emperor, snapper an grouper) are hiding. I don't really understand you question about Thoddoo though 😉
What's the set-up?
Can you name the gear pls.
Sorry, not sure what I used here. It was some very cheap telescope rod from Wish and a 2000 reel I bought in a Thailand store. I used a 20 pounds mono line.
I bought some new and better gear for my next trips when the border open again. I will start listing my gear in future videos 😉
Thanks for watching 🤙
Mentally I am here
Hi Chris, which island is this?
This is Maafushi. I visited Thoddoo and Maafushi on the same trip, but Maafushi is way to busy with tourists. This is the only area of the island where you can fish. You can still catch Trevally, Emperors, Groupers etc, but there is less reef close to the shore, so way less action compared to Thoddoo ;)
Maafushi, I went there for 1 wk in Dec 2018. Did the whale shark trip with iCom tours. Awesome experience. Nice island with more tourists n excitement compared to Ukulhas.
Je pars le 1 mars j’ai le droit de pêcher sur mon île ? Fihalhohi merci de votre réponse.
Also what lure are ya using?
Might buy it ngl
I believe I was using a Weebass Rasbora lure (50mm/6,3g) in this video. Pretty good lures for light tackle 👍
Is all Beach allowed fishing in Maafushi ? I will visit there tomorrow.
I believe so yes, however all the tourists are swimming on the west coast. That is why you can't really fish on that side. (Perhaps you can try in the evening). I went fishing on the east coast every time, which is the quiet side of the island. Good luck 🎣👍.
@@chizzyfishing thx a lot . It’s really helpful for my trip. I love fishing so much . I concerned illegal or not.☺️☺️
@@smileho3574 No problem. You will probably also see some locals fishing on the waterbreakers on the north side of the island. So you could try there in the evening as well if flats fishing is not really your thing. But I would definitely advice flats fishing with tiny lures like I do in this video 😉. On the east side of the island it is very shallow, but at one spot there is suddenly a big hole, which holds some great fish (you can probably spot it on Google Maps). Otherwise walk a bit further into the sea, past all the grassy ground. There you will also find emperor, groupers, snapper, small bluefin Trevally and even GT's and reef sharks. Be careful walking far out on the far north/east side though, as current can be strong there when tide changes. 🎣🤙
@@chizzyfishing thx a lot Chris, love your video and u provide good suggestions for me!🥹☺️☺️
@@smileho3574 You are welcome. I have more Maafushi videos on my channel. Check it out if you have time to get a better idea of where I fished and what I caught. 😉. Enjoy your holiday.
Quick question, I'm planning to go to the maldives, to Diamond thudufushi. Can i fish there? There is nothing written on the internet.
Please let me know. Thanks
There are some strict rules to protect the reef, but basically you can fish from the beach on all local island (islands where the locals live). On resort islands (such as Diamond Thudufushi) you most likely can not fish from the beach and need to hire a boat to fish from the boat or drop you off on an island where you are allowed to fish. However sometimes you can ask permission from the owner of the resort. So maybe you can email the resort and ask if they allow you to fish on the island. Good luck and have fun ✌️
@@chizzyfishing thanks alot for the information. You really uelped me out. Hopefully the resort will gove me permission.
@@just.joeking0255 Hi Joe. No problem. I hope you can fish, because it is an amazing place. If you can't fish at the resort, ask the resort if they can drop you off on an island where you are allowed to fish. Definitely worth it 🙂 Enjoy your holiday.
@@chizzyfishing thanks alot, just called them and they said not allowed. Its kind of annoying tbh that your not allowed to fish. Anyways I'll ask about the island dropping you suggested.
@@just.joeking0255 Ow that is a shame. They are very protective of the reefs around the resorts. Hope you can organize a nice fishing trip or island drop off. I am sure you will have a great time in the maldives 🌞 🐟 ⛱️
I hope I can get back once this pandemic cools down a bit. Definitely going to a local island again for the fishing opportunities.
floating bait or sinking?
Sinking bait.
Hi Chris!
Cool video!! I‘m going in january to maldives too!
Actually i‘m looking for a local boat for fishing, do you have some contacts?
Thanks
Georg
Thanks for watching. Appreciate that.
Unfortunately I don't have any fishing boat details, because I always fish from the beach on local islands. It's free and doesn't take much planning ;) If you stay on a local islands it is pretty easy to find someone who would take you out for fishing though, especially for tuna fishing in the morning. If you stay on a resort island and would like to do big game fishing, be prepared to spend some money ;)
Great video loved it.
If you ever visit Maldives again I would suggest trying the southern part of the Maldives, Addu. It has quite a lot to offer. www.discoveraddu.com
I would suggest Pebbles Inn if you do visit as it is in one of the best locations in Addu and it is close to most of the activities. instagram.com/pebbles_inn/
If you are into fishing there is something for everyone. Light fishing or the big ones.
You can go in front of the guesthouse and you are ready to fish if you have the gear. Or you could rent a kayak or water bicycle from the guesthouse. instagram.com/idhikalhi/
Let’s say you are bored of fishing the small ones and you want to go for the big guns they have it covered. There are a few big game fishing charters. The main one been ASF Maldives. instagram.com/asfmaldives/
I just went fishing it went well there! (Not this island)
Where did you fish and what did you catch?
@@chizzyfishing thulhadhoo and I caught a buckets worth of fish (a big bucket)
@@Headgiver Good to hear. I see that Thulhaadhoo has a lot of shallow water. Perfect to walk around and throw some lures 👍
@@chizzyfishing yea
@@Headgiver nice. Gj. Your grandson is going to say thank you for leaving no fish !
