Tennessee, US•Member since 20262 trips5.0VerifiedNewGreat Day Fishing in Antigua
3/4 Day Trip on September 14, 2026 • 2 adultsHad a great trip on Obsession with Captain Derek and James. We caught 15 mahi, a 30 lb. wahoo, and 4 barracuda. Derek and James were awesome and worked hard the entire trip to keep us on the fish. Great boat, great crew, and an overall excellent experience. I would highly recommend Obsession to anyone looking for a fishing charter in Antigua.

Full Day Trip on January 18, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Derek and Mate James are experienced and professional! Our day was a challenging windy day with rough seas. Our group is sea worthy and rough seas doesn’t deture us. The captain and mate worked hard all day, making by the hour decisions, changing bait, adjusting trolling depts and game time changes to trolling areas when the the lines went silent! Remember to recognize and undertand the elements of fishing on the ocean. Fish in the cooler is an result of experience and professionalism with proper equipment, gear and tackle combined with a little luck of the day!! In my 10 yrs of Deep Sea Sportfishing this Charter ranks at the top!!! We had fresh fish for dinner and took fish home!!! Thanks for a great day and experience!!

Your captain
Falmouth, Antigua and Barbuda
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.
