This friendly, English-speaking West African country has been rated by several renowned international fishing magazines as the best place in the world for big blue marlin and behemoth yellowfin and bigeye tuna. Since 1997, the Blue Marlin Fishing Charters (BMFC) caught 617 blues with an average weight of over 500-pounds with an average of two boats fishing. Eight blue grander marlin were weighed in or released during this period. Biggest blue was 1,283 pounds. The BMFC is averaging one blue marlin a day per boat in the peak seasons which is from March - June and October - November. Also several IGFA world- and local tuna records were caught in Ghana since 2002. Captain Johan Zietsman of BMFC charters a refurbished 31'Bertram KARMA with state of the art 130-pound tackle. Clients need to book well in advance for the prime seasons because of popular demand.
