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!

Weather was not cooperative, rough seas but Captain Bobby navigated to calmer seas for a enjoyable experience.

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.

A half day reef fishing trip is a great way to start. It’s not very far from shore and the water is beautiful. You’ll catch fish and have fun.

Be prepared for active seas and if you get sick put your patch on in advance and take your meds in advance as we did and you will be good.

Put sunscreen on before you get in the boat and dont forget your legs. Water can get rough farther out so take the less drowsy dramamine.

I would say your going to to catch something. I don't think they have very many boat ride days.

I have only fished West Bay once, so I don't feel I could recommend anything extra.

Waters were too warm and the ideal target fish have moved elsewhere. Go earlier in the year.

You will never take enough sunblock. Reapply more often than you think you need to!

Trolling is not a good idea especially if you have kids. Stick to reef fishing.
