Fishing in Palau is yet another treat. Be it light tackle or deep-sea fishing, Palau's turquoise waters have it all. Big jacks, Spanish mackerel, or the ultimate game fish, gigantic Marlin are all found here. Palauan men take great pride in their fishing skills and there's much to be learned from their vast experience, so it's best to hook up with one of the organized fishing tours or to charter a boat with seasoned crew members from any of the boat operators.

A variety of traditional conservation methods are still observed ensuring healthy fish populations. There are also formal restrictions such as the Koror State Rangers' annual enforcement of no fishing between April 1 and July 31 in Ngerumekaol, and no fishing at any time within one mile of Ngemelis Island .

Fishing trips and charters for visitors are common and can easily be arranged. Spear fishing is discouraged and only practiced by the local fishermen to feed their families. However, most fishing methods are banned near and around popular dive and spawning sites. Since currents, tides, and channels make different breeding and migrations patterns complex to understand, the old folks pass acquired ecological knowledge and wisdom onto the younger generation.
