AS WE approach the Yellowfin Tuna season in the Bahamas fishermen are still catching a nice variety of other fish.
The fast moving Wahoo are being caught in small numbers and the Mahi Mahi are still aggressive on the bite. There have been some nice reports from the northern Bahamas as billfish such as Blue and White Marlin as well as Sailfish have been caught.
The billfish are most active a few miles off shore, where the cool ocean currents meet the warmer waters. It’s time to grab the rods and take full advantage of the beautiful weather.
Keep checking the Bahamas Sport Fishing Network (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.
For a sample of the spectacular fishing to be had in The Bahamas, expert advice, tournament dates and results, informative features and photo galleries visit the BSFN page at tribune242.com or www.bsfn.biz.
