I wanted to catch a GT and hilman did not let me down. Action all day with biggest GT going around 13kg! I also got to tick off a few more species including a 10kg dogtooth. Would definitely recommend this charter. Good fishing gear and great company.
thanks for great review
Yellowfin tuna have always been on my target list, for some reason YFT wasnt biting. Captain Hilman, didnt gave up..he ended up finding for us a Dogtooth Tuna instead. Highy recommend.
thanks brother
Excellent variety of reef fish, Grouper, coral trout, job fish, trevally, baracudda. Great for families, excellent service. HIghly recommended.
Me and my wife had a great time with captain Hilman. almost all the time we were using tuna meat bait doing bottom jigging around the reef to ensure bites. caught many types of fish. captain prepared very delicious sandwiches and cold drinks for us. He is very patient looking for spots with fish, if one spot has no bite he will immediately change spot. his crew Sobah is also very helpful, with preparing baita, help us hook the baits all the time. captain also knows how to take great pcitures of your catch. we are from China, only pity is that due to custom regulations we cannot bring back the fish. but all those beatiful memories will last very lpng. Definitely recommended to try fishing with Hilman if you have one day in Male. Finally thamks to Hian and Sobah taking us out during Ramadan, because they cannot drink or eat during the hot day, it was really challenging for them.
thank you very much
