Really nice boat trip - The fishing trip was a surprise early birthday present.
6am pickup from our hotel jetty and then travelled upstream trolling.
Really nice boat trip and only caught two fish (one was a good average fish).
Thoroughly enjoyed the trip where we also saw crocodile, monkeys and lots of birds.
Thanks Sam at Bentota Travel Mart who even sorted a cake out for me!

Great experience. - Evening fishing on the lagoon in Bentota.
We were picked up around 1630 and taken to the lagoon.
Our professional fishermen were very knowledgeable, friendly & polite.
First casts out we both had bites and my husband brought in a ladyfish. Mine got away!
Evening time on the lagoon is a lovely time to go, not just for the fishing. We saw huge fruit bats & fish eagles!
In 2 hours we caught a Jack fish & 4 ladyfish.
All in all a very good experience

Bentota Lagoon Fishing - The team did a great job in helping our kids fish for the first time. Even the wet weather did not dampen the mood

Above and beyond - We found them online offering fishing in the lagoon and was very helpful and quick to get us booked up.
We had a an early start getting picked up by our driver dinesh. He was very friendly and told us lots of info on the way to the boat.
When we arrived we was passed over to our fishing tour guide. I didnt catch his name but he was brilliant. Within moments of starting we both had fish on our line! We caught around 15 fish mostly being catfish.
Once it had warmed up the fishing slowed so we set off into the growth looking for wildlife.
He had an eagle eye and spotted so many animals we would never of seen. Monitor lizards, bats, iguanas, snakes, crocodiles to name a few.
When we returned to the shore dinesh was waiting for us and was eager to find out how we got on. He then took us to see the beach close by and offered to show us anywhere we wanted to!
I would highly recommend this to anyone. Even if fishing isnt your thing you can still find enjoyment.

Amazing fishig experience in the lagoon - We were 3 frinds from UK and we wanted enjoy some fishing in Sri Lanka. We booked a lagoon fishing from Bentota Travel Mart and it was just amazing. We started 6pm and we were there about 3 hrs. It was our frist night fishing experience. We caught few fish and our local fisherman who guided us did a brilliant job. He exactly knew where we can catch fish. Thank you so much.
