Fishing in Nassau

As the capital of the Bahamas, Nassau is the epicenter of art, culture, nightlife, and fishing! Nassau is a real fishing hub, where avid anglers come to fulfill their biggest ambitions. Even if you’re a newcomer, don’t worry. There’s plenty of Nassau fishing charters to show you the way to the best spots.

The name of the game is deep sea fishing. It’s no surprise that the Bahamas boast some of the best big game action on the planet, and the Nassau nook of the archipelago is no different. Tuna, Marlin, Swordfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo – all the big names are prowling these productive waters practically year-round, so whenever you come, you’re in for a blast.

Reef species are the bread and butter of this fishery. They're abundant, always hungry, and on top of that, taste delicious. Snappers and Groupers are there for the taking, as well as the unique Nassau Grouper, named after its place of origin. Fly fishermen can also explore the local flats in search of Bonefish, Tarpon, and Permit.

Competitive anglers come here to attend a diverse range of fishing tournaments. The Bahamas Billfish Championship, Blue Marlin Cove Wahoo Classic, and Wahoo Smackdown are just a few of the most popular competitions to check out.

Most Nassau fishing charters offer half day and full day trips, and you should take your pick depending on what you’d like to target. Shorter jaunts mostly focus on reef fish, while longer expeditions are reserved for going after monster pelagics and Billfish.

You’ll easily find a guide in downtown Nassau and on Paradise Island.

Rules & Regulations

The boat, not the anglers, needs the permits in the Bahamas, so all registered Nassau fishing charters will have the paperwork sorted out for you. There are also bag and size limits and closed seasons for some species which your captain will advise you on.

Nassau Fishing Seasons

January
Winter Wahoo fishing is at its peak, making for awesome offshore action. January is one of the driest months, and the temperature is in that sweet 70ºF range, so this is also a decent time to hit the flats for some fly fishing.
February
Wahoo are still on form, and February is the end of the annual Wahoo Smackdown, so grab one of the many Nassau offshore charters and get ready for some high-speed action.
March
Big game fishing really starts to heat up, with the first of the Marlin showing up, joined by large numbers of Amberjack and Yellowfin Tuna. The Wahoo are still biting, too, making this a great time to be offshore!
April
Permit arrive inshore, joined by the first of the Tarpon. It’s also a great time to do some bottom fishing for Grouper and Snapper and go home with a royal catch. Billfish action is fantastic!
May
May is your best chance at bagging a Bluefin and a Yellowfin Tuna on the same trip. Sailfish are still around and the Marlin are heating up too, making May irresistible offshore. Closer to land, Grouper and Snapper are biting!
June
Prime Blue Marlin season sees a number of tournaments take place, like the Abaco Beach Blue Marlin Invitational, the second half of the Bahamas Billfish Championship, and the Abaco Outboard Marlin Series.
July
Swordfish are in full swing offshore, and Snapper and Grouper are filling up the reefs. Watch the rain though, because this is peak storm season, and maybe not the best for wade fishing inshore.
August
Grouper, Snapper, and Barracuda are still biting strong on the reefs. Inshore, Bonefish are everywhere, and there are still decent numbers of Permit and Tarpon as well.
September
The last few Billfish can be caught offshore, but don’t worry, Swordfish are still at their best. Mahi Mahi are biting well, too, and the reefs are teeming with Snapper and Grouper, making for productive offshore fishing.
October
The heat and the rain finally start coming to a halt in October, and with them, so do a lot of the offshore species. Wahoo are starting to arrive, though, and there are always Bonefish inshore.
November
The rain finally leaves as Wahoo fishing picks up. November is also the beginning of the annual Wahoo Smackdown, which is worth checking out. You've also got active reefs and great flats fishing if that's more your scene.
December
If you're visiting in December, you have to check out Junkanoo. This huge festival promises colorful parades, great music, dancing, and loads of fun! Oh, and there's world-class Wahoo and Bonefishing, in case you get bored!

Fishing in December is limited and wind risky. However, temperatures are great. We caught a nice cross-section of fish. Mackerel, Barracuda, Grouper and Yellowtail. Early morning is best. Great outing.

I fish a lot and the one thing I would recommend is to bring some ice to ice down your catch and keep it fresh. Its not so bad to not have ice on a 4 hour charter but I would definitely recommend bringing ice for the fish if you do a whole day charter.

Many of the charters are overpriced. $6-700 is fair for half day. $800 and up is ludicrous. If people stop overpaying the prices will moderate.

Captain Ted was very friendly, accommodating and shared some cool facts about the islands. My entire family had a great experience. Snorkeling with the Turtles was so cool! The smiles on my kids faces were worth the trip alone. We ended the day at a restaurant that cooked our fresh catch for us. I would definitely recommend Captain Ted and I will be booking another trip when I return.

Great family excursion for our whole family group! Fished until each of the kids reeled in a fish then switched to turtle watching, snorkeling, and swimming. The fish were small but we knew it was not the height of the season! March, 2024

My sons and I enjoyed a great morning with Jaime and Mitch. They had everything we needed and gave us the opportunity to go for some bigger fish. When they werenโ€™t biting, they transitioned us to anchoring and bottom fishing. The bites started immediately! We caught many fish and several different varieties. The guys also gave us some insight to the area and even entertained the kids by bringing in sharks with the carcasses of the cleaned fish. An overall wonderful experience!

Captain Ted took my girlfriend and me out for an awesome day of fishing. He taught us about the Bahamas, the different types of fishing around, told funny stories, and always made sure we were having a good time. We probably caught 20-30 fish, bouncing around to multiple spots. Highly recommend!

Captain Ted and his first mate were great. We brought along my 8 year old son and he caught a bunch of reef fish and had a blast. The crew sat with him on a couple of occasions and really gave an above expectation experience for my son. Certainly a recommended excursion for anybody looking for an active fishing expedition.

Captain Ted was amazing! My son and I booked a 4 hour fishing trip. My son caught about 8 or 9 fish that were big enough to keep. We brought a few to a local restaurant recommended to us by the Captain and they cooked them up for us. This was a very personalized experience. The Captain and his assistant China were very helpful and conscientious. I would highly recommend this experience. Thanks Captain Ted and China!
