Like all fishing trips, it’s up to the fish. First time out, just barracuda, which were fun but not edible. Second time two large Wahoo! We fished close offshore and the boat is smooth and dry. A great experience.

The inner reef/bay trip was the perfect choice for my children whom suffer motion sickness. The action was great and kept us busy the entire trip. Catching a variety of local species kept our interest and allowed us to understand some of the fish behavior of the area.

From what we understood, this was the off season. Of course we wanted to find something like a wahoo, marlin, or mahi but that wasn't in the cards. We did, however, get a good number of smallish black fin tuna which were delicious.

In July- it was pretty hot, I suggest a boat with cover/shade. Most of the ride was calm but getting around the point had about 15 mins of rough waters- so if you get sickness- take Dramamine!! If taking kids- lots of suncreen and try to find a boat with a bathroom and shade because the slow ride out can get brutal from the sun. Overall- fishing was fun and got some good fish which we could recognize from prior snorkeling in the area.

Went fishing with Y-Knot Charters – Knot Reel 25' on November 22, 2023
I did wish we caught more and a variety, but that's how fishing is at times. We faired better than others that didn't catch anything at all. So overall it was a great day. I highly recommend Andrew and Y-Knot

We were lucky. The previous two days were bad for fishing. Summertime (off-season) isn’t the best time for fishing. You will have to be patient and hope that you have a great Captain like Andrew that just has that instinct to find them.

May is a good month for fishing. The boat is comfortable with plenty of shade. Kids like to feed tarpon at the dock where the fish are cleaned. Sharks come in also. Good restaurants near the dock area. Finish a day of fishing with a good meal. Very accessible from the seven mile beach area.

We wanted a reef fishing expedition. Short and sweet with fish in the cooler. This is exactly what we got.

Be patient while you’re fishing and rely on your captain to know where you’re likely to catch fish.

Fish weren’t biting as much as we’d like but we still had fun. Also it’s probably the case that we lost fish because we are not very experienced fishermen.

Know that if cold fronts come in the waters and currents can be rough. If you are not experienced snorkelers don't do the Conch dive.

Caught a couple of tuna, missed a big wahoo. There were fish around, but were short biting and missed a couple others. All around it was a great trip.

Check ahead of time what is likely to be caught, we got excited by the fish everyone listed, but some really aren't too common to catch during this time of year or at all.

Summer is not a peak time for deep sea trolling. You kind of get what you get and don’t get upset.

If you enjoy fishing and want a deep sea experience, definitely book with Happy Days and Captain Bobby.

Do some research on charter catches in the days before following through. Wish I would have known they weren’t having much luck in the days leading up to our trip.

Temps were very high for this time of year so the bite was slow, but we still caught some fish and had a great lunch

I liked reef fishing get to run line out and feel the action on the pole, never know what will come up, triggers give a lot of fight for their size!

We caught a skip jack (small tuna species) and a local restaurant made it into ceviche for us. I recommend listening to captain Bobby. If there is a fish to be caught out there, he will find it!

Capt took us to the east end of the island where the fish were. Bite was a little slow at first, but crew kept working and we landed a monster tuna. Kids loved every minute.

Kind of a slow fishing time of the year, so have fun in the reef or in the harbor, but don’t expect the big fish this time of year. Still a blast with a Captain like C!!

Be prepared to have to go through some choppy water to get to the leeward side of the island. Charters won’t go out if it is too rough but it can get bouncy on the windward side!

Fishing in the caymans is terrific from the standpoint of you drop from 15ft to 1000ft in just a few minutes. You don’t travel far to get on large pelagic sea creatures.

A little slow this time of year inshore but everyday day is different so take a chance and go! If nothing else, the water is beautiful and the company is great!

Just understand the weather doesn’t always cooperate. The chef at Tukka knows what he’s doing and you won’t be disappointed in the meal he prepares with your catch.
