coral island atolls are made of your dreams. As the magnificent giant

his knees. The monster dogtooth tuna will leave the poor confuse angler staring at the
smoking reel and of course the high flying billfish will leave one gaping in awe! So are
these dreams? No, almost all the tropical game fish can be landed at the Maldives. So
don't dream, live it! The best months to fish these water are November -
April yearly.

Surins, Koh Rok, Rachas and Hin Deang) are considered the Mecca for the pacific sailfish.
Sometimes it's possible to encounter sailfish that is swimming back to bill, covering for
miles! The waters off Phuket are also very rich in G.T.s which prove to be a paradise for
popping fanatics and those who enjoy the old fashion slug it out fishing then shark
fishing for the giant tiger sharks are a must do!

record of 508lb was landed off Phuket, Similans. The best months to fish these incredible
waters are Nov to April yearly.
