Island Dog Water Sports invites you down to Ocho Rios, Jamaica to explore the unbeatable aquatic opportunities the area has to offer. Whether you want to have some fun on your next vacation or want to wet a line, there is a trip for you.

The crew takes the business of deep sea fishing pretty seriously. They will cater to your specific needs to make sure you get exactly what you came for! Novice anglers to serious fishermen, everyone is welcome.

If you want to enjoy the hight season, book a trip anytime from September through March. During those months, the waters teem with Mahi Mahi, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Barracuda, Kingfish, Sailfish, and Tuna.

A day out with Island Dog Water Sports will take you just 10 minutes away to the local reefs. There, you will drop your lines and begin the trolling action. 6 lines will be in the water at a time.

You will be provided with the quality gear and tackle by Penn International and Shimano. All charters have a ‘no smoking policy.’ You will split the catch with the crew.

Island Dog Water Sports will take you out aboard the ‘Dancing Reel’, a 33’ Proline boat. She comes powered by a pair of 225 HP Mercury 4-Stroke engines and has plenty of fishing space for up to 5 anglers. The Dancing Reel is a comfortable vessel, equipped with a toilet, a bed to take a nap, and other accessories.

I did not become a fisherman. I discovered that I was a fisherman from a tender age when there was nothing to me like catching a fish, so I just continue the life of catching fish until this day. My preferred style of fishing would be trolling with live bait, kite fishing, following weed lines, watching birds, and also watching the waves.
