Around 20 kms far right from Hawksbay within the mountains is a beach area, Mubarak Village, definitely one of the best fishing spots in Karachi. Some of my colleagues went there last year in September, caught around 11kgs of fish, an exciting average of 1kg per person. This time it was planned on April 9, and I was part of the team for this off season fishing trip. We took with us more prawns and mayya (to catch more fish) but had to give away that to villagers since most of the people became sea sick and vomited in deep sea and just wanted to get back to the shores.

The best part of the trip was that we carried life jackets with us that we had bought for Rs 650/- each from lighthouse sports market. The jackets went very well with the sloppy shore that was over 10 feet deeper just after a couple meters into the sea and we could easily float and move in around 20 feet deep water without risking our lives.

The rent of the boats for around 22 guys was Rs. 5,000 for the three boats and we could even visit Charna island in the same cost that's clearly visible from Mubarak village and is a few kilometers away.

Interestingly, the largest fish we caught was not from deep sea but the shore. Two of our guys decided to follow the local children who were fishing there and finally caught a fish around 1 kg in a couple hours.

By the way, this place is not only good for fishing. You can collect some precious sea stuff, like corals and colorful stones from Mubarak Village
