Recommend any St Thomas Marlin Fishing Charters?

[Marlin Mama]

We will be going to St Thomas in August & were wondering if anyone could recommend a charter boat & captain there? We tried a company called Black Pearl but they are booked the week we will be there. Thanks for your help.

could try and contact the "prime time" capt butch cox. They are usually down there around that time of year

Thanks Yantjew! I guess we don't have many members from that area but I'll look into it.

You should take a look indeed, heard they went 2-5 on blue marlin yesterday and things are just starting to heat up

Cant go wrong with Marlin Prince.
Eddie has been on of the top captains there for years

I just returned from St T. Fished Tuesday on Prime Time with Butch Cox and hooked 5 blue marlin and released 2. Butch is one of the best. Try him at 772-285-7168.

Im headed down with a group this weekend. The Marlin Prince was recommneded to me by a handful of private captains. I'll hopefully have a good report to post when I get back. Hoping for a shot or two at a nice blue. Sounds like things are starting to get going down there.

Thanks for all the recommendations. We booked the Black Pearl one day & Abigail III another so I'm really excited. Hopefully, will be posting some pix in August after our trip.

By the way, all the others were booked!! I guess the fishing industry down there is doing OK!
