WHEN you’re ready for the biggest, baddest, fastest and most ferocious fight, you’re ready for deep sea fishing.
You can start your day with some Mahi Mahi or Wahoo, then set your sights on something even bigger. Perhaps this time you’re looking to catch your first big bluefin, maybe a speedy sailfish. Or maybe Marlin is the cure for your big game fever.
The Bahamas are famous for deep sea fishing, often considered the finest waters in the world with these amazing fish. The Gulf Stream drives warm water and nutrients through and around The Bahamas. The smaller fish school en masse, that attracts bigger fish, and so on until you have 1,500lb monster fish tracking the schools.
That’s what attracts big game fishermen the world over to The Bahamas - the biggest challenges in the sea, beautiful water and warm sun to enjoy all day, and the boating and fishing lifestyle is everywhere to experience.
In The Bahamas, you can use your own boat or use one of the many, fishing guides or charters. The Bahamas Sport Fishing Network (BSFN) has expert guides available on every island.
Keep checking the BSFN expert page for fishing reports throughout the Bahamas: this will be helpful in tracking the “hot spots” and providing advice on gear and fishing methods being used.
