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 caught enough fish to feed a family of four and amazing meal at the The Poop Deck near the marina.

Yes. It does get hot so drink lots of water, take breaks inside and go on top and let the wind hit you so it feels like air conditioning. Great experience.

It is a great experience there are many species of fish very different from those you catch in the US

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.

The only problem is we visited in early June which was sort of the rainy period in the Bahamas. I highly recommend the fishing there but I would go outside of May/June.

Well I’m not an experienced fisherman, but if you want a fun time for teens somewhat experienced for fishing this is the charter. Really helped and taught them.

July seems to be hit or miss time of year. The website for Captain Mike's Chubasco Fishing shows a graphic by month for best fishing targets. Go by that if the main focus of your trip is to fish.

Anything.. Trolling was slow then we started bottom fishing and it was on fire it was on fish after another.

Dolphin fish is hit or miss. I would habe loved ro catch on but it wasnt on the menu and the Captain has to put you on the fish. You will catch a barracuda 100% of the time

I fished with Capt Eddie of First Strike. I had a great experience, so I would recommend you book with him.

This was first time fishing in Nassau. I'm sure there is great fishing in the Bahamas. Wasn't meant to be the day we fished.

Plenty of fish to catch, but it's definitely busy in and around Nassau. Beautiful water.

I would say you should at least have this experience at least once in your life.
