Big Game Lodge
Big Game Lodge invites you for a day of exciting fishing action on the bountiful waters of Trinidad and Tobago! Let Captain Peter De Silva take you out and show you what the offshore fishing is all about. Who knows, maybe you’ll catch your next trophy.
Join Capt. Peter on his 46’ Hatteras sportfisher with twin Yanmar 440 HP engines and head to the most productive spots. The boat can accommodate up to 8 people and have them fishing at the same time. If you’d like to have a breather, there’s an air-conditioned cabin with a seating area, kitchen, and two private toilets. There are 2 private toilets on board, so traveling in full comfort is guaranteed.
When it comes to the fishing gear, you’ll have everything you could possibly need for a successful day on the water. The flybridge will help you spot schools of fish from afar and outriggers and downriggers will extend your fishing reach. Hooked a big one? There’s a fighting chair to help you get it into the boat.
Speaking of your catch, you’ll be on the lookout for all the offshore favorites. Think Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, King Mackerel, Sailfish, Marlin, and Yellowfin Tuna. Because the waters are so plentiful, chances are, you’ll be reeling in fish after fish during the whole trip.
You’ll be using top-notch Duel, Penn, and Shimano fishing equipment and you’ll have a first mate to help you with everything. After the trip, you can choose what fish you’d like to keep and the crew will have it cleaned, filleted, even cooked for you, if you’d like.
Come fishing with your kids, teach them something new, and have a memorable family outing. Climb aboard with plenty of food and drinks, or let your captain know, and he’ll arrange it for you (for an additional charge).
Book a trip with Big Game Lodge and your thrilling fishing adventure can begin!

Halfday offshore fishing trip!
First time fishers. Exceeded expectations!
Highly recommend this experience with this charter to anyone looking for a fishing excursion. As first time fishers, we didn't know what to expect however, the captain and crew were absolutely exceptional from start to finish. They answered every question we had prior to the experience and guided us through it once aboard. Not only were they incredibly professional, safe and experienced, but additionally very friendly and approachable. We were lucky enough to catch 2 large kingfish on our 4-hour voyage and would most definitely rebook with them. Thank you again to the crew and captain for an unforgettable day.

Halfday offshore fishing trip!
Really nice Trip
I started my 30th birthday on the boat with my family and the crew. It was a slow day as we only caught one fish(King Mackerel) but the trip was still great. Beautiful sights all around. Would recommend plus the guys were great.

Halfday offshore fishing trip!
Fantastic trip with Captain Justin and first-mate Chris
Excellent day on the Hopscotch. If you want a great day and the best chance of catching fish in Port of Spain this is the place. The booking and communication with the boat owner was very easy and reliable. We arrived at the dock and departed on time with our excellent Captain Justin. He has extensive experience in the area and is very knowledgeable about fish habitat. His hunting instincts are keen. He is also a skilled boatman and your group will be well taken care of by the Captain J. and Chris A definite best experience.

Halfday offshore fishing trip!
Bad day
Was very disappointed as we made 25 passes on the same direct line and only changed rigging once on one of the poles. Never did get a bite. In my past experiences of fishing all over the world, most crews would have tried multiple riggings and Capts. would have tried different area of water or gone deeper or tried to change something in order to get a bite or hookup, but 4 hours covering the same exact line of water with no bites was a bit disappointing. It basically turned out to just be an expensive boat ride. On a positive note, the boat was great and from discussion with the Capt and 1st mate, this was not the regular crew or Capt, so would not consider this charter the norm for this boat.
