Weighed 8 marlin over 1000 pound as captain with the biggest being 1260 on the brand new Adventum in its first season in 2018.

“I love the GBR and the Giant Black Marlin that come here every year. Most of my clients have been fishing with me for many years and have become great friends. There’s nothing better than enjoying a great meal and a rum and talking about the day that was and what tomorrow will bring”.

“What makes it all so special is that the big fish come so close to the edge of the reef, leaving only a short run to get to the anchorage in the afternoon. Which lets us fish for longer and big blacks love to bite late in the day. Whether its 25 knots or 10 knots the anchorages are always comfortable”. - Captain Biggs
