| With its 39
coral atolls spread
out over 750,000
square miles of

Islands is literally
one of the fishiest
countries on earth!
Over 1,000 species
of fish (860 inshore
reef, 7
freshwater/brackish,
67 open water and
125 deep sea fish)
offer an incredible
array of fishing
opportunities within
the lagoons, on the
reef flats, and in
the open ocean.
Anglers can enjoy
fly fishing, jigging
and bottom fishing,
trolling,
casting/whipping and
more. |
| |
| Fishing Areas
- All 29 atolls
in the Marshalls
offer excellent
fishing. From the
capital, Majuro
Atoll, anglers can
easily venture out
to neighboring Arno
Atoll by boat or to
other atolls via Air
Marshall Islands,
the domestic
carrier, or on one
of the many charter
boats with a wide
range of
accommodations. |
| |
| Fishing
