Bassas de India.... ;)
Jay - Tanzania is a very good option... Mafia Island, Ras Mbisi, Kilwa Ruins... some fantastic operators in this area, very proffesionally run, on great boats, and they know the spots to find you both Doggies and big GT's.... I'll go out on a limb here and say this is probably your best bet for big Doggies.... recent captures have seen a 99.5 kilo Doggie come out on one of the sportfishing boats, and a 130 kilo on one of the local commercial boats.... Thats a BIG FISH!!
Certainly no shortage of GT's either.... plenty fish in the 25 to 35 kilo range, with enough in the 50 plus to keep even a seasoned popper like you on your toes....
Step over to the Dark COntinent mate.... once its in your blood, you'll be hooked for life!! 8)
PM me if you want more info...

Rodrigues with Yann Colas on Black Marlin. No popping but I believe the top destination for a trophy doggie.

Wouldn't mind looking into Solomans and Tonga but can't find much info on operators.

Hi Jay,
Drop me a line any time if you want to know how the fishing is going around Kadavu island in Fiji. I skipper a charter boat here so I'm biast ;D but at the right time of year for good weather we average 15 GTs a day and target doggies on the Kadavu seamount.
Taveuni is also another good GT destination in Fiji. I can recommend a boat up that way if you prefer.
Regards,
Adrian
