"The Ultimate Fighter", the Black Marlin. The normal size in Phuket waters is 200 to 300 lbs, but every year specimens around 500 lbs are caught. Further out at the Andaman Islands larger fish are available and the fishing can be very good during the building moon face and also during the new moon.

Destinations:

Similan Area
The Black Marlin fishing around the "Thon Mai" twin seamounts in an area 13- miles west of the Similan Islands that rises from 250 meters depth to 70 and 90 meters respective is at its best from September through March. Trolling for Black Marlin can also be very productive along the drop off 6 miles west of the Similan Islands and also in deep water around the seamounts. There are now many F.A.D.s (fish aggregating devices) permanently put on top of the seamounts and we have had very fast trolling action close to them for: Dorado, Wahoo, Rainbow Runners, Yellowfin and Skipjack Tuna. These F.A.D.s also attract Sailfish and Marlin and so far we have hooked many big Marlins close to the F.A.D.s. The best action is normally around the new moon or around the full moon. 50 lbs and 80 lbs equipment is standard equipment here (Shimano Tiagra 50W LRS or 80W).

Andaman Islands - The Crème de la Crème of Big-Game Fishing!"
The Andaman Islands lies 405 miles North West of Phuket, an archipelago of 329 islands belonging to India. After 50 years of virtual isolation from the outside world, the Indian government lifted its restricted access to the islands, and allowed limited environmentally friendly tourism development. It is only since 1993 that the Indian authorities have allowed scuba diving and sport fishing. Commercial fishing is very light in most areas, which is one of the main reasons the waters of the Andaman Islands are "Teeming with fish." It is a vast area of almost 8,500 square kilometers, dotted with tropical islands and a submarine mountainous seascape providing an almost unlimited playground for game fish species and big-game fisherman.

We pioneered the first fishing trips to this magical area 8 years ago, which gives us the upper hand when it comes to terms of experience and knowledge of the species, and also the best fishing grounds. Along the East and West coasts of Narcondam and Barren Islands there are drop-offs of 1000-2000 meters depth which attract huge Black and Blue Marlin, Broadbill Swordfish, Sailfish and a multitude of other highly sought after big-game species. Pretty much all the main techniques can be employed here; trolling with or without downriggers, bottom fishing with baits and jigs, popper-casting and fly fishing either from the deck of the boat, the dingy or even from the rocks or beaches!

Due to the extreme range of the Andaman Islands, it is imperative that the boat is properly equipped and in tip top condition, which "Reely Nauti" and Fish Eagle certainly are! A freshwater maker is essential, along with powerful reliable twin engines, the usual safety essentials; radio, satellite telephone, GPS (along with hand held back-up),E.P.I.R.B., life raft and life jackets etc. To match the size of the fish, we have the heaviest best quality equipment available on board, including 2 sets of 80lbs and 2 sets of 130lbs rods matched with Shimano Tiagra reels, 2 sets of 50lbs, and 4 sets of 30lbss, again all matched with Shimano reels. Onboard we have jigging and popper casting equipment and a vast range of proven jigs, poppers, lures and jet heads. If you intend to fly-fish, please bring along your own equipment and flies. We use heavy tackle when marlin fishing here; 80lbs and 130lbs bent but rods with Shimano Tiagra reels. You fly into Port Blair where our game boat is waiting for you.
