Game Fishing

The tropical waters surrounding Grand Bahama are home to some of the best game fish on Earth. Some of the fish you will find lurking offshore are white and blue marlin, yellow-fin and blue-fin tuna, barracuda, king fish, Wahoo, bonito, and dolphin (also known as Mahi Mahi… not Flipper). I learned today that one of the world’s best game fish – the bonefish– not only likes the waters of Grand Bahama Island, but is more at home there than anywhere else in the world. The flats off Deep Water Cay, in the East and The Old Bahama Flats off West End are known for great catches. Fly-fishing, particularly for bonefish, is quickly gaining popularity on Grand Bahama Island and throughout The Islands of The Bahamas. Next to golf, it is the fastest growing sport. The best time to go fishing is between April and September.
