What would you recommend to anglers fishing in St. Thomas for the first time?

Know what’s in season and understand that if you’re going for wahoo or mahi-mahi it’s a lot of trolling and time between bites. If you’re willing to target the species that are around in numbers (tuna, rainbow runners, jacks, etc) you can have non-stop action. Also bring sunscreen, you’ll need it.

Go to Captain Eric Anaclerio, by far the best. There’s a reason he only has 5 star reviews. I thought it was odd but I totally understand now. Don’t regret it book him for your trip. Great with kids or just adults. The best!!!

Explore, find the fish. It’s high risk high reward out here if you’re fishing from shore. One spot might be nothing but needlefish (hound fish) the other might have so many 25-40” tarpon you’re guaranteed to find a hungry one. 3 stars because access is tough and from shore the variety is pretty low.

This is a local trip fishing wrecks and reefs.. Bryan is an excellent captain . The boat is just as described.

So happy we booked with Captain Eric! We all caught fish (group of 6) and we all had a great time! Captain Eric is an experienced captain and angler, you won’t regret booking this trip!

It’s better later in the season but it’s still a great time and will be catching fish no matter what

Ask for deep water to get big fish. Take Dramamine the night before and day of. Really hydrate!!

Bryan is amazing captain. Don't waste your time with someone other than Bryan. We will book with him again

Anytime you’re on the ocean fishing in February is a great day. Mahi mahi are my favorite fish but they weren’t in season. We did catch a bunch of other kinds which was awesome.

It’s harder work than u think!! Reeling in a shark or anything takes some arm muscle but the captain Eric helped us when our arms failed.

A couple fish we caught were out of season. Everything really was great though, weather, sea and wind conditions. We really had a great day!

Take the charter out with Captain Erik. He is amazing and super knowledgeable but also understand that he nor anyone else can predict weather or if the fish are biting.

Exceeded our wildest dreams for our first family experience in guided fishing. It really helps that you are in 1000’ deep water about 30 minutes from shore.

Wear sneakers or deck shoes and bring plenty of sunscreen. Everything else you need is provided ?

It was beautiful, the water was surprisingly calm. And most importantly, the fish like to bite.
