IN THE aftermath of Hurricane Joaquin, their are slow signs that fishing and boating are getting back to normal.

After such a destructive hurricane passes through, its takes several weeks for the waters to settle and fish to return back to the flats, reefs and habitats.

Debris is a huge attraction to fish, so many seasoned fishermen will begin to look for floating objects to fish around. Mahi Mahi and Wahoo are prime targets to go after when you find floating debris.

Crawfish also begin to return from the ocean as the milky waters settle and spearfishing fever begins to take over.

Keep checking the Bahamas Sport Fishing Network (BSFN) expert page for fishing reports throughout the Bahamas: this will be very helpful in tracking the “hot spots” and providing advice on gear and fishing methods being used.
