"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 avilable and the fishing can be very good during the building moon face and 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 Marlin 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

405 miles NW of Phuket and the rising star of new game fishing destinations world-wide! Along the drop offs and around the Volcanic Barren and Narcondam islands the Black Marlin action can be spectacular. This area is not heavily commercially fished and regularly produces big Black and Blue Marlin. The best action is normally around the new moon or around the full moon. We use heavy tackle, 80lbs and 130lbs bent but rods with Shimano Tiagra reels. You fly into Port Blair where our game boat is waiting for you.
