GT/Tuna/kingfish(Phú Quốc)
The best season for fishing is the dry season, November to April. The sea is calm and the water clear, ideal for targeting GT, bonito, tuna, and snapper by trolling, or for jigging and bait fishing on the reefs (such as the Doi Moi and Mong Tay coral reefs southwest of the island). Squid fishing is possible year-round, but peaks during the monsoon period from May to October.
○ in season: Jan–Apr, Nov–Dec

For GT Tuna The classic approach is popping/casting a diving pencil or popper across the surface; when fish are shy, jigging a heavy metal jig also works.
