PALAU AUR - MARLIN, SAILFISH, WAHOO AND DORADO ACTION  

Palau Aur or Aur Island 22 miles south of Tioman island offers the best black marlin and jigging action in Penisular Malaysia. The island is teeming with fish because of no commercial fishing allowed in the area – the rocky terrain around the island and the abundance of baitfish attracts big pelagic predators like: Black Marlin, Sailfish, Trevally, Wahoo, Dorado, Cobia, Narrow barred Spanish Mackerel, Groupers, Snappers and other bottom dwellers are also plentifull here. We do 3 day/2 night to 4 day/3 night long live-aboard trips to Palau Aur with departure from Tioman island, Desarau or from Kampung Penyabong Jetty for up to 5 anglers. We include all fishing equipments in the trip - quality rods, reels, poppers, jigs and all terminal tackle needed, so you don't need to carry heavy fishing gear on the flight from your home. Palau Aur fishing season starts in mid March and end last week of October.
