Perfect Trip
4 Hour Trip (AM) – Deep Sea 4 MAX on July 17, 20264 adults2 children

Took the family on a 4hr trip witb Captain David. He was awesome. Had great knowledge of the water knew where the fish were and put us on the fish quick. Had our 8&11yos on the trip and Capt made them feel right at home. Guided them on exactly what to do and had them fighting fish quickly. I would highly recommend Cayman Live Bait to anyone looking catch fish and have an excellent captain. I will fish with Captin David and crew anytime I come to the Caymans

Half day PM fishing trip
4 Hour Trip (PM) – Deep Sea 4 MAX on February 13, 2026

This was our second time fishing with Captain David and his first mate, David. We had an excellent time and caught blackfin tuna, barracuda, Jackfish, and blue runner fish. Captain David works hard to make your fishing trip enjoyable. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and wants everyone to have an excellent and fun experience. He knows the ocean well and where the hotspots are in the area. We will continue to seek him for our future adventure when we are on vacation in the Cayman Islands. Highly recommended!! We also had probably another six or seven good hits, but because we are amateur fisherman, we lost them!😂🤪. I would encourage you to book your next fishing adventure with "Cayman Live Bait," you will not be disappointed. A+++++

Reported catch:
Great Barracuda

Half Day Reef 4 hour trip on August 1, 20262 adults1 child

We ended up switching to a deep sea trip and it was a great time. Captian David works hard to find fish and has a wealth of knowledge of the waters. This was our third trip with him over the years and we have always enjoyed ourselves.
