Double Header Sportfishing
Double Header Sportfishing
Conveniently located on the south side of Antigua, Obsession Sport Fishing have access to some of the very best game fishing waters that Antigua and Barbuda has to offer. They are based in Falmouth, a colorful harbor that is a hub for sailing and fishing boats on the island, and they are well placed to travel to the deep blue waters south and east of the island.
The 'Double Header' is one of the largest and best equipped boats in Antigua. At 55 ft, she features a large, full-equipped galley and a dinette that seats four people. Each of her three staterooms is equipped with a head and a shower, as well as a TV and DVD player, and the boat is air conditioned throughout. The large cockpit houses a fighting chair, and there is seating for eight people on the fly bridge. The boat also carries a 15 ft Boston Whaler on board for greater fishing flexibility.
Depending on the trip you take on Double Header, you could be swimming, sightseeing or fishing for species such as Wahoo, Tuna, King Mackerel, Mahi Mahi and, most importantly, Blue and White Marlins. You will be using Alutecnos reels and custom rods ranging from 20-80 lb test, and Iland lures with Balyhoo.
If desired, it is possible to use Obsession Sport Fishing's boats to participate in tournaments on any of the Caribbean islands. It is also possible to use the boats for a premium sightseeing trip to Barbuda on either a single day or multi day trip.
The boat carries a 13' Boston Whaler and automatic life-rafts.

Crew and captain were excellent. The conditions were not perfect.But because we had the larger boat, it made it worth going. Right away off the bat we caought a four and a half foot Wahoo
Captain and his mate were very good, had a great time. We caught 2 Barracuda, 2 Black Fin Tuna, 1 Wahoo and 1 Silky Shark.
Very nice trip, we caught some fish and the Captain and his mate worked very hard to make it great.
We had the BEST day deep sea fishing with the Captain and James! They got us into a school of Mahi-mahi, Wahoo, and we even landed a big Marlin!! Can't go wrong with this crew. You WILL catch fish. Thanks guys!!

Your captain
I fished when still in school, and after finishing college I received training from two of the best captains in St.Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands: 'Red' Bailey and 'Spike' Herbert. My first boat was the 'Obsession'. I got it in 1991 and in 2010 I added 'Double Header'. I have fished in the USA, Bahamas, Australia, Costa Rica and most of the Caribbean islands.
