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.

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.

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

Went fishing with Hunter Charters – 38’ Mornin' Ride on June 25, 2024
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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
