Once the monsoons set in we get a much needed break from the hectic fishing season here in the Andaman Islands. This break also lets us plan for the season ahead and reflect on the happenings of the past season. Putting up the gallery of the season that's just passed is one of the best things of running a charter, fishing some really wild water like the water we fish here. It also lets us know just how well we've done! We tend to forget about a big fish or 2 especially when we see so many quality fish being landed and released. Please check the link below to actually see what a great fishery the Andaman Islands are. Enjoy!
We also added a brand new boat to our fleet! We now have Rampage, our 37ft center console which without a doubt is the best popping and jigging platform in the Andaman Islands. She works really well when it comes to the variable sea conditions we have here in the Andaman Islands. Though not really designed as a trolling boat she has the ability to raise fish.... some big fish as well. We landed our first 400+ pound Blue Marlin fishing from here and raised a few others. Apart from being fitted out with a top of the line electronics package that makes it hard for fish to hide she's also equipped with saltwater wash down hoses that are most useful for reviving big GT and also keeping all surfaces wet when we have a fish on board. The freshwater wash down's also help anglers cool off when the temperatures rise.
Our Big trip of the season was when we hosted Kozo Okubo and Eric Le Guyader in Feb 2012. Apart from having Julien Lajournade , chief editor of Voyages De Peche fishing with us as well we had Ryan Lobo, filmmaker, writer, photographer and good friend to join us on the trip. We'll soon have a separate gallery up on his photo-essay of the trip. We'll have a blog post up once the new gallery is ready!
As always watch this space for more.
