Steve Markle, Singapore / USA expat
I fished the Kuala Rompin sails in 2007 with my son and it was a hoot. In 2008 I went again, I brought 2 other groups. Can you go anywhere else and get double figures each and everyday? I doubt it! |
Alexandru Radu, Romania
Each and everytime I visit Kuala Rompin to fish the sails I'm just awed by this world class destination. Anthony, Aziz and their crew are top class. |
Tomohide Kashiwagi, Japan / Fishing Guide
I came to Malaysia to catch sailfish on fly. I have been 4 times now and have taken sails on fly. It is hard work on fly but very rewarding. Anthony just knows how to get them up. I will be back again in 2009. |
Michael Hansen, Denmark
Back in Denmark we have nothing but fantastic memories. We would like to thank you very much for your professional service, the perfect fishing trip and your great company. As you promised, we all got new personal records. |
David Helliwell, UK expat based in India
Can this boys move. I've never seen fish so fast in all my life. I caught my 1st and 8th sailfish, and so did my three mates all in 2 days. Fantastic fishing, great company, superb food and I have already booked for 2009. |
Andrew Griffin, Malaysia / UK expat
Kuala Rompin is probably the best sailfishing destination in the world, certainly top 3. The quantity of fish never ceases to amaze me. My son and I have fished with Anthony twice a year for the past 2 years - it doesn't get better than this. |
Oleg Lytvynenko, Ukraine / Musician
I have fished many time in Malaysia and caught sailfish, marlin, narrow barred mackerel, cobia, dorado, tuna and barracuda just to name a few I tried once a cheap boat. The captain was lazy, just parked in the sea and said fish here. We never moved the whole day and never got any fish. Don't go cheap you will lose. Freshwater fishing I also enjoyed very much. Anthony and Aziz are the best. |
Mervyn Andreisz, IGFA rep/ Sri Lanka
Both Anthony and my counterpart IGFA rep in Malaysia, Aziz, are thoroughly professional in their angling. I have fished with them on a number of occasions and have always been inpressed by their knowledge. The highlight, however, was the sailfish experience - we actually lost count of the number caught and released. |
Kevin Metcalfe and David Collison, UK
By 12.30pm on the 1st day after landing 13 sailfish we were too tired to fish for more. We went bottom fishing for groupers and snappers. Only after 3.30pm did we target the sails again. The next 2 days were the same. Totally out of this world is the only way to describe fishing at Kuala Rompin, a dream fishing holiday. |
Seiji Hasegawa, Japan
I only fish freshwater and want to catch a record Toman (Giant Snakehead). the world record is from Malaysia. I have fished 3 different waters in the past 3 years, caught plenty of snakeheads. Maybe next year I get a record. Great fishing and excellent food. |
Ryuji Terashima, Japan / Angling writer
Popping, lure casting and fly fishing for sailfish in Kuala Rompin is best. Much excitement. Many fish. As soon as I finished my trip, I booked again for 2009. |
Karim el Baroudi, Morocco
I only managed to get 1 day fishing as I was on my honeymoon, but what a day. Sailfish, barracuda and mackerel. Fantastic place, great fishing and very good guide and crew. |

Thomas Haemmerle - German policeman.
" My first sailfish - and not just one but many. It is so beautiful to see them playing on the surface." |
Steve Burford - UK expatriate based in Kuala Lumpur.
"The sailfish spectacular is just that,spectacular. It is a great place to take my two young sons. There are plenty of sails and when in season Mahi Mahi and Narrowbarred Mackerel. The Spratlys also produced massive Amberjacks, GTs and Dogtooth tuna." |
Mr. Paul Scott - UK Medical personnel.
"The sailfishing is absolutely fantastic. Double and triple strikes were very common. You could see them, you could almost touch them. Myself and my girlfriend, Lindsey, landed 27 sails to boat in one day. That is not counting what we lost. I will be back in 2008 to fish the sails again and the Spratlys. On the first morning, Anthony said that we should hit our first sailfish by 10.00am and it was right on the nose when the reel screamed. " |
Mr. Yawar Rashid, wife Bano and sons Faiz and Aly - Hotelier - Bhopal - India
"A wonderful and memorable fishing trip and great food. Dreaming of our next trip, to the Spratlys next time." |
Mr. Derek Elliot - Auditor UK
