I have fished all over the world and Skull fishing is one of the best operations I’ve ever fish with. My girlfriend and I had the best time with them.
Because my flight arrived so late we had to spend one night in Male.
As soon as we got off the plane they were there to assist us. Amed and his assistant was waiting for us to transport us to my hotel. They gave me a Prepaid SIM card so that we could have internet acces and stay in contact with one another.
The following day they pick us up from my hotel and escorted us to the speedboat and sent us on are way to Fulidhoo. Once we got to Fulidhoo We were met by Mossa the hotel owner and Nashe the boat Captain and his deckhand Shamar.
They helped us bring all the luggage and my fishing gear to the room and we settled in. Moosa gave me a tour of the island and showed me a few spots where I could Shore fish. Later that afternoon I caught a small GT on my second cast.
I arrived after a week of bad weather, the current was off and the water was choppy at times. It made our first day very challenging. The GT’s were not around. The guys tried very hard to find GT’s and the dog tooth tuna that I was looking for. We fished both topwater baits and tried deep jigging. We trolled around and got a wahoo.
Day 2 the water condition got a little better but still could not find the GT’s or the dog tooth tuna. Shamar got a nice grouper and rainbow jack on the same lure he was throwing, he let my girlfriend land the fish. It was her first fish she ever caught it gave her a nice fight considering she had to fish on one lure. We pass on fishing the afternoon so that we could fish in the evening for red snapper. That evening we brought in about 10 snappers. It was a great experience to fish the Maldivian hand line system for snapper.
Day 3 my girlfriend decided to stay at the hotel and rest so me and the boys took off at 4 a.m. to the F.A.D.S. As soon as we got there Yellowfin were wide open. School size fish from 20 to 5 lb. We tried soaking a smaller Yellowfin for one of the big boys but we did not get a bite. Then we spent the rest of the day trolling for Marlin. No luck there. On our way back to troll for Wahoo. Got one on the way in.
I can’t say enough about the crew and their operation. I contacted a lot of boats. Many of them did not answer my emails and the ones that I did would not answer the questions that I ask them. I want to give special thanks to Aisha. She was great and setting up everything for us. She answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable being my first time in the Maldives. I requested a birthday cake for my girlfriend and they brought one in for her from Male. At the end of the trip they sent me videos and pictures they had taken of us while fishing
The IHAA guesthouse was awesome. Mossa had breakfast and dinner for us. The air condition in the room was excellent. In fact there was days that it was too cold in there. Lunches were made why the crew. They cooked up the fish that we caught everyday. We or never hungry. And I felt that I gained weight while I was there LOL LOL.
I’m already planning my next trip back. Looking forward to Landing my first dogtooth tuna with these guys
Thank You Skull Sport fishing
