Pakistan offers excellent giant trevally fishing opportunities along its southern coastline, particularly in the Arabian Sea regions of Sindh and Balochistan. The best locations include Karachi\“s coastal waters, Gwadar Port, Ormara, and Jiwani. These areas provide ideal habitats for giant trevally with their rocky shorelines, deep channels, and abundant baitfish populations.
The fishing season typically runs from October to April when weather conditions are favorable. Local fishing communities have developed specialized techniques for targeting giant trevally using live bait, surface lures, and trolling methods. Traditional wooden fishing boats, known as \“houris,\“ are commonly used by local fishermen who possess extensive knowledge of the best fishing spots and seasonal patterns.
Giant trevally in Pakistani waters can reach impressive sizes, with specimens over 50 kilograms being caught regularly. The species is highly prized by both commercial and recreational fishermen for its powerful fighting ability and culinary value. Local markets often feature fresh giant trevally, which is prepared in traditional Pakistani styles including grilled, fried with spices, or cooked in curry dishes. |
