Compared to most of the spots in SE Asia
here in Phuket Sailfish are present in
incredible number particularly around the
Racha Islands and Ko Rok/Ko Ha Islands.
No where else in fact you have the chance to
see this beautiful animal tailing and jumping
around you in such a number!
Pacific Sailfish are present during all the year
with peaks occurring between June and
October during the southwest monsoon
season. During these peaks months, 5 to 10
Sails raised are more than the norm. Join us
and discover why Phuket is renewed as the
Sailfish capital of SE Asia!!!
On the other hand Black Marlin around Phuket
have a very excellent run from October to
March just do not expect to find plenty of them.

Phuket’s Blacks are usually juveniles between 120 and 450 lbs although bigger
fish have been hooked. The best fishing is usually around the full moon and the
new moon while the drop-off west of Phuket and the Similan Islands are the hot
spots.
Blue Marlin, Broadbill Swordfish, Sailfish averaging over 100lbs, monster
Dogtooth Tuna and Barracuda, XXL size GT, fat Yellowfin and massive Grouper
and of course big Black and more are available instead around the new
fishermen mecca of the Andaman Islands in India between February and April.
Anyway if you are serious about the “big nose” we suggest you to request always
a strictly Marlin venture! In the same way in the Andaman Islands we do also
organize specific “Popping & Jigging Expeditions” to target the famous GT,
Yellowfin, Grouper and Dogtooth Tuna available in that area.
Tuna are common during the all year in the waters surrounding Phuket and there
are several varieties; Yellowfin Tuna, Dogtooth Tuna, Skipjack Tuna, Mackerel
Tuna, Eastern Little Tuna and Longfin Tuna. Wahoo are plentiful during the SW
monsoon season, King Mackerel (Tanguigue), Narrow Barred Mackerel (Tenggiri)
and Barracuda are other members from the “razor gang” always present.
Giant Trevally are huge and plentiful and can always produce fantastic action on
popper particularly at the Similan and Andaman Islands. Other inshore species
available all year round include Dorado (Mahi Mahi), Rainbow Runner, Blue
Finned Trevally, Golden Trevally, Queenfish, Cobia, Coral Trout, Mangrove Jack
and a variety of bottom fishes.
Finally the area is one of the best shark fishing ground in the region. Massive
Tiger Sharks have been caught, Hammerhead Sharks, Mako Sharks and a variety
of reef sharks are considered normal but other species are also found.
In order to preserve the rich marine heritage of the Andaman sea The Big Blues is
a strictly "catch & release" venue.
The information provided must be considered only a guideline anyway, in fact
many factors have an influence on the migratory path of all the pelagic species.
Water temperature, wind, current and bait among others can cause these normal
patterns to fluctuate.
