Angling, particularly sailfish angling, can be wet and wild, adrenaline-pumping stuff. And the waters around the Rompin/Mersing/Tioman area are some of the more productive in the world. This applies especially to sailfish. In terms of sheer catch numbers, the area's reputation precedes it.

But when it comes to booking the right angling team, things become a bit less clear-cut and a little more challenging, especially when you're after sailfish, even more especially when you're from overseas and there's a language issue to potentially complicate matters.

Add to that the number of outfits here that offer (sailfish) angling professionally and it becomes clear that selecting the right angling outfit for you may appear a little daunting.

Sites like Tripadvisor can be of help, granted, but the way their reviews oftentimes seem to contradict each other can also end up complicating matters. Too much information can be counterproductive.

All that being said, there is useful assistance available and it's available right here on this site. If you're planning an angling excursion and you feel you can use a few tips, or you're interested in getting a couple of angling company suggestions, just let us know below.
