What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Grand Baie for the first time?

Just go for it.if you have a great leader like we did in Captain Avi and the boys at Horizon Maurice you really can't go wrong. Brilliant time, brilliant location, brilliant people. All in all just BRILLIANT ?

The best Blue Marlin season even though it is still hard to catch. Fortunately full day fishing you can catch something else too. At least for us sea conditions were nice but sun is really burning. Better got a boat with suncover.

It was our first time and we loved it. Definitely recommend to others. We were in very safe hands, very professional.

Huge swells on the east coast of the island that will test even the most seasoned anglers. West coast is much more enjoyable and still has great fishing

Don’t expect to catch anything just go for an experience and a lesson on the whys and hows of big game fishing the the art of searching for the fish. Then if you catch something it’s a plus.

Winter months not the prime fishing time in Mauritius, but cooler water good for black marlin. Had plenty of activity despite the time of year

Look out for smaller boats, they usually provide better service if you’re interested in serious fishing.

To pick a day where the weather is good failing which be prepared for rough seas and possibility of sea sickness which is unfortunate ??

Patience thats about it, and be prepared to loose a fish or 2, not all fish gets landed..

Go and try it out it ..we did not do it full justice..plenty to go at ..great times
