Fishing vacations in Bahamas

Fishing in Bahamas is so alluring that the islands attract fishermen of all types. Bone fishing with its thrill of fly fishing, reef fishing, deep-sea fishing as well as tournaments bring in Bahamas thousands of boaters and fisherman each year.
Many anglers come to Grand Bahama Island expressly hoping to catch the big one and many of them will leave not disappointed. The warm and deep tropical waters surrounding the island are home to some of the best game fish in the Caribbean Sea. Among the well honored fighters lurking offshore are white and blue marlin, yellow-fin and blue-fin tuna, barracuda, king fish, Wahoo, bonito, and dolphin (not the mamal - a fish with the same name). In Freeport are plenty of outfitters at the marinas who are more than happy to lead you right to them for a reasonable price.
While it is a well-known fact that most game fish like warm tropical waters, what is less known is that one of the world's best game fish - the bonefish - not only likes the waters of Grand Bahamas Island, but is more at home there than anywhere else in the world! The flats off Deep Water Cay, in the East, are invaded year after year by fishers from around the globe. Fly-fishing, particularly for bonefish, is gaining popularity on Grand Bahamas Island and throughout Bahamas. Next to golf, it is the fastest growing sport on this islands. The best time to spend fishing vacations in The Bahamas is between April and September, but in winter is good too.
The Annual Bahamas Nationals Bone Fishing Championship, held in July, features the best fisherman competing for the title of the champion of Bahamas. Competitions for many individual island winners are held between March and June.

Bimini - capital of the deep-sea fishing

Andros is laced with thousands of miles of inland waterways and fishing flats. North, Middle and South Bights cut right through the island, east to west, creating a natural access to even more flats on the west side of the island. These provide world-class conditions for fly fishermen in pursuit of bonefish and tarpon.
Game fish abound in the waters of the Bahamian archipelago. Writer Ernest Hemingway frequented these waters too. Angling enthusiasts come here in their fishing vacations because they already know that Bimini is the deep-sea fishing capital of the world! Its coastal waters yield giant tuna and enormous white and blue marlin, along with barracuda, amberjack, bonefish, and tarpon. The fishing in these parts is not limited to fish. The catching of succulent crawfish (lobster) and stone crabs are also popular activities.
