fishing as Caribbean Sports

Fishing is the most important of all Caribbean Sports

In order to enjoy a safe and fruitful day of Caribbean Fishing, and enjoy a great Caribbean Sports Vacation, it should be done accompanied by professionals in the field, that for a fee will take you to places where you’ll catch your fish and take pictures to show back home.

Licensed shops on most of the islands offer half and full day tours for all budgets. Remember that each island has its own regulations and you should abide by them. I insist on recruiting licensed professionals to help you on your vacation.

Here are some guidelines to some of the regions' fishing grounds.

Bahamas

The waters around these islands are a favorite of saltwater fly fishermen in search of bone fish.

Barbados

Year round fishing is to be had on this island, but the most ideal conditions exist from January to April. Deep sea fisherman will find plenty of bill fish, while the calmer coastal waters will yield Wahoo, barracuda, and other small fish.

Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands attract deep sea fisherman in search of tuna, Wahoo, and marlin. Others choose to bottom-fish along the reefs for grouper and snapper.

Bloody Bay off Little Cayman is well known for its good bone fishing.

Dominican Republic

This island attracts fishermen after sailfish and bonito as well as marlin and Wahoo.

The best fishing is between January and June. This is a Mecca for Caribbean Fishing.

Puerto Rico

Some 30 world records have been set here earning Puerto Rico a reputation as the fishing capital of the Caribbean. Bravo for the Island of Enchantment.

Virgin Islands

Both the U.S. and British Virgin Islands have a reputation as good deep fishing grounds.

Fisherman from around the world come here to compete in the local tournaments for the largest bluefish, Wahoo, swordfish, and shark.

The U.S. Virgin Islands have seen world records registered including eight for blue marlin.

Bone fishing is also popular. The best fishing off St Croix is from September to June when fishermen seek out kingfish, Wahoo, swordfish, marlin, and yellow fin tuna.
