Grouper fishing is a popular activity in Pakistan\“s coastal regions, particularly in Sindh and Balochistan provinces. Local fishermen employ various traditional techniques passed down through generations to catch these prized fish species.
One common method used in Pakistani waters is bottom fishing with hand lines. Fishermen use strong lines with heavy sinkers and large hooks baited with sardines, squid, or small fish. This technique is particularly effective around rocky outcrops and coral reefs where groupers typically hide.
Another traditional approach involves spearfishing, which is practiced by skilled divers in clear coastal waters. This method requires excellent breath-holding ability and precise aim to successfully target groupers in their natural habitats.
Modern Pakistani fishermen have also adapted contemporary techniques such as rod and reel fishing with specialized equipment. They often use live bait and fish during tidal changes when groupers are most active near the shorelines of Karachi, Gwadar, and other coastal cities. |
