Fishing in Lombok

Big Game Fishing in the Lombok Strait

Overview

The Lombok Strait is one of the most productive fishing grounds in Indonesia. Deep underwater channels create upwellings that attract massive schools of baitfish, which in turn draw in predators like yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and marlin.

Fishing from Lombok gives you access to waters that see less pressure than Bali, meaning more fish and bigger catches. The strait's depth reaches over 1,000 meters in places, making it ideal for both trolling and deep-water jigging.
