Bikini Atoll Sport Fishing Information

The Last Real Frontier

 

Bikini Atoll, with its huge central lagoon surrounded by miles of untouched reefs, offers the sport fisherman a multitude of offshore and inshore fishing options--including trolling and fly fishing--unmatched anywhere in the world today: Blue & Black Marlin, Wahoo, Yellowfin & Dogtooth Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Bonefish, Barracuda, Giant & Bluefin Trevally, Rainbow Runners, Skipjack, Snapper and a wide variety of reef and bottom fish...

 

"This A-bomb test site has become an angler's paradise...Bikini is the last of the best saltwater fishing in the world."

-Field & Stream magazine, November, 1997

 

"The most fun I've ever had on a fishing vacation, or any vacation for that matter!"

-Steve Walgren of Gresham, Oregon, summer, 1997

 

"Bikini's waters [have] returned to a rare, undisturbed condition."

-Bill Curtsinger, National Geographic, January, 1995

"The only tension was the constant battle for my attention between the waves and the breeze blowing through the palm trees."

-ABC News Correspondent Mike Lee, April 1998

 

"...it was spectacular, for we had at least 30 releases per day on the reef, and could have tallied over 100 if we had not moved on to investigate other spots. After my first visit, I would definitely classify Bikini as a world-class tropical fishery, one that should remain productive for years to come..."

-Tony Peña, Salt Water Sportman, May 2000

Bikini Atoll opened to fishermen on a trial basis during late 1997 to provide, along with our successful scuba diving venture, an economic base for a possible future resettlement of Bikini Atoll.

Beginning in 1998, the Bikini Atoll Council fulfilled their goal to open one of the most professional catch & release sport fishing operations available. If you consider yourself a serious sport fisherman, a world class fishing adventure is waiting for you at Bikini Atoll. If you get a chance, please contact people who have fished Bikini during 2001 and experienced our new sport fishing setup and our islands firsthand: they are our best salesmen.
