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

Chantel Daigle
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.

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

Debbie Hanley
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.

Jack Sanders
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!

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

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

Kelsey Hunter
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.

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

Michael Williams
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!

Ilona Jagnow
Try using the hand lines. Go for the bottom fish instead of spending the whole trip trying to get a marlin .

Noah Schmidt
Wahoo did not cooperate for us, but we still caught a variety reef fishing and some tuna while trolling. All in all a great time.

Victor Carrington
Wait until the end of February or early March to book a fishing trip. Seems to be the time to catch fish you can eat.

Nick Hentschel
I didn't catch anything on a 4 hr charter but bring a travel rod and fish the beaches in the morning theres all kinds of jacks and snappers to be caught on light tackle.

Patrick Roberts
Understand that the weather can be hit or miss. You may not get a shot at the biggest fish, but we caught more than enough for lunch.

We fished only a little as we were snorkeling and beach touring mostly. The ride, captain and seas were TOP NOTCH! Highly reccomend!

Eric Lazar
It was a bad day of fishing, it happens. Crew worked hard, so if they were out there, we would have found them....just one of those days.

Jennifer Davis
We caught several
Different kinds of reef fish. Mostly small but our line broke when trying to reel in a few of them.

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

Hugh Spires
Coppell, TX
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.

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

Tony Rose

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.

Michael Sollenberger

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.

Melissa Bartlett

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.

We left a pair of sunglasses on the boat and would like to get them back. Please send to 13 fairway circle / New Smyrna Beach , FL ( USA) 32168

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
