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.

Maybe not a brand new sport fish but a totally serviceable craft with good gear. The captain and crew are experienced offshore fishermen. who went above and beyond to find fish in difficult conditions.
