If you're ready to love fishing in Ocho Rios, we've got you covered with Island Dog.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Great Barracuda, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), King Mackerel, Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, and plenty more.

On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll using heavy tackle and at the end of the trip, you will be splitting the spoils of your adventure with the crew.

Your excursion begins aboard a 42' Post offshore sport fishing vessel with space for 8 passengers. It comes with outriggers, a fighting chair, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish and make the most of your trip. A 10%–20% tip at the end of the day is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Island Dog welcomes kids aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

You can't go wrong when you bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Island Dog – Bigg Deal.

Great trip with island dog
Half Day Trip - 12:30 PM on March 4, 20262 adults

My wife and I had a great fishing trip with captain Tony. We were greeted at the port and promptly boarded as we were under time constraint. The crew, Dwayne and Tyrone, worked their asses off checking baits and line sets and Tony kept consistent trolling. Good solid boat and they had a couch and couple love seats in the galley which was great for us to relax on. About 2.5hrs in we hooked into a real nice marlin. Awesome fight reeling this beautiful fish in. Finally got to land a Marlin and check it off my list. Great crew and trip. Thanks for the good times!

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