Fishing in the Bahamas is a must-do for any serious angler. Imagine gliding over crystal-clear flats, just a cast away from catching a world record.

That’s the kind of adventure that awaits you in the beautiful island chain of the Bahamas.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxed day of reef fishing for Snappers and Groupers, exciting flats fishing for Bonefish, Permit, and Tarpon, or the thrill of big game fishing for Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, or Billfish, the Bahamas is sure to take your breath away.

Flat Fishing

The Bahamas is renowned for its stunning fishing flats, stretching for miles with shallow waters along the shore and mangroves. When fishing these flats, timing is key due to the tides. At high tide, the mangroves fill with water, making fish seek shelter and becoming harder to catch. Conversely, at low tide, the flats dry out, and fish tend to cluster at the channels’ entrances in deeper waters. Expect to encounter bonefish, permit, and tarpon when fishing here.

Reef Fishing

For a fun, chill day out with friends and family, try reef fishing. The shallow waters around the reefs are teeming with grouper, snapper, triggerfish, and mutton snapper. Spring and summer offer the best opportunities for catching snapper and grouper when the water is warmer.

Reef fishing provides a fantastic array of tasty fish, so give it a go and see if you can reel in your dinner to bring right back to the yacht chef! Talk about fresh fish at the table!
