What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Nassau for the first time?

Don’t always expect to caught something. It’s called fishing for a reason. I always say a day on the water is a great day rather you bring dinner home in the bucket or it’s empty being on the water is always a great day!

We caught a lot of fish, but this time of year the weather is not perfect if you’re trying to catch wahoo. If you’re coming just to Fish, I would wait until the second week of November. Unless you’re coming to have fun and it was an amazing trip.

We had an amazing time as a family trip with a child nine years old. Please keep in mind. We were bottom fishing with Live bait. Well, anything is possible most of the fish we caught were a pound to 2 pounds in weight. It was more about the experience overall. We had an awesome time. I’m sure if you’re looking for big fish Just message the captain beforehand to see how he can help you

Make sure AC works That’s why a paid the extra money and should have been notified-the AC wasn’t working -we sweated our butts off- we would have renegotiated rate Also wasn’t happy about the boarding fee that had to be paid at the dock- should have know about that also - it wasn’t that much but felt like it was BS

Great light tackle trip, lots of fish - nothing huge but plenty of action and the triggerfish fight hard. Also had a line in the water with bait for a predator so opportunity for larger fish is there.

Prepare for the heat and stay hydrated. Trust the knowledgeable and experienced captains. They know where to go and how to best fish in the Bahamas. Also remember there is a lot of other things that can be done during the charter. Island hop, snorkeling and tours. The half day tours are great but a whole day is the best. Fishing may require patience and some trial and error.

If you are fishing with individuals who want the action of actually catching fish, especially with younger children, this is absolutely a great charter. We did catch several good fish and a variety, enough in just an hour or so to cook a great meal during the trip.

We probably fished for a total of about 2.5HRS at no fault of Cpt. We wanted to have our fish cooked by a restaurant recommended which left us with limited time fishing due to our departure time. We caught a total of 16 keepers. Probably just as many if not more releases, and just as many if not more misses. There were 3 in my party. 1 avid fisherman, 1 done it before and can do it again, and 1 who has never held a rod in their hand. The catches worked out as you would expect. The novice missed as many bites as they got. The experienced missed a few. The avid caught the most but still missed some Bites.

Be aware that you will be trolling most of the time - whether deep sea or in shallow waters. It is not “active” fishing like we’ve experience most other places. With a great captain you can still have a good time — and with luck you can still bring in fish!

Make sure you read all reviews and how the Captain responds. Bad days of fishing can’t be predicted but bad service is another matter. Captain Teddy was a class act compared to other captain’s I’ve had here in the Bahamas

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.

If you expect to do sport fishing, deep sea fishing, book a 35-38 foot boat at a minimum. Boats that size and larger usually have restrooms and cabins and that can help make the experience much nicer for your first time out. Take tons of photos and videos. Get yourself ready for memories of a lifetime.

We did a couple of fishing trips while we were here this vacation and this was the best overall experience

Sunscreen, long sleeves for sun block. Hat with strap (windy) sunglasses a must. Listen and they will catch you fish.

Do your research, I have expected Fishing Hooker to do theirs, but apparently not. I hope that they contact me for at least a partial refund.

Quantity over quality here. Not a lot of big fish, but a lot of decent grunt, strawberry grouper and squirrel fish.

This was an excellent family experience and you do not need to be an expert. The Captain and First Mate were very patient with the kids who have limited fishing experience.

We had a really windy day and only caught 2 in the couple of hours we fished but on a better day I'm sure there'd be more bites

Im not going to say anything bad here we just didn't catch, bottom line.I've heard mixed reviews about big game fishing in February

First time fishing in Bahamas so I don't have any other seasons to compare to, but we caught lots of fun things!

Tide was slack in the afternoon and the wind changed a bit through the week. Unseasonably cool for early January; plan accordingly. Kris knows bonefish.

Yes great, would have loved to try going to the south of the island for snappers, but otherwise perfect

It was a great fishing trip. The fish were really biting that day. Although they were not big it was just perfect for my kids.

The captain and crew were great! We wanted to fish for large fish, and we did!! We caught a 5ft Mahi Mahi!! We will do this excursion on our next trip to the bahamas!

Great for first timers because you are catching smaller fish that are easier to land and the crew is very helpful.

Boat picked us up at Margaritaville and we had to pay $25 for the launch. Parking was very challenging.

Like anywhere in the world, a bite is never guaranteed! Heard no boats had much luck the day we went. But the day before they did!! It’s worth it to go and try though, you won’t regret it.

The fishing is probably better further away from the Nassau harbor where there is less boat traffic, but there is still plenty to catch.

They call it fishing not catching! So don’t be upset if you don’t catch something! If you catch that’s the bonus of the trip!
