What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Bridgetown for the first time?

Research what to bring and how to prepare for the trip. We were relatively experienced before going so no issues. Baiting lines and catching fish gets a little chaotic at times. Young children probably would find it tough. It’s hot. If you have motion issues, prepare ahead of time. The captain cannot control the sea, don’t expect it. People often give poor reviews because the the swells were large and they get sick…not the captain’s fault. Expect rough, then you’ll be fine. Must be patient to fish, took an hour for our first hit and catch. Took 45 minutes for the second. Sometimes you get nothing. Be prepared, you may just be taking an expensive boat ride.

It is hard to say why this trip was such a flop and we caught no fish at all. Granted we specifically wanted to get after the larger billfish this trip out however I felt like more could have been done (switched up fishing method, etc.) the last hour or two of the trip to get any fish in the boat. It was very hot out on the water for 6 hours with the sun beating down and honestly 4 hours would probably have been enough. I wish we had not booked the fishing trip so far in advance so we could have taken the weather reports and such into consideration. We did not see other boats coming in with catches either in the marina, so I am thinking it was just a bad day/time of year for fishing.

Always remember it is fishing and they may not always be biting. Captain Rob and Ryan will always do their best to make sure you can have the best opportunity to catch but you also enjoy the trip. They are experienced and will give you a great fishing experience and fun conversation

August is not the best month to target some species, and OK for others. Pick your target species and time your trip accordingly, or (like me) vacation when you can and target what species are available that month.

Find a good Captain and hope he can put you on fish.Its fishing not catching so there are no guarantees. Trolling is not for everyone we are trollers back home and if the fish are not biting its still a beautiful boat ride Better than white snow and slush on the ground and cold. It's a great experience and you get out of it what you put into it.

Try to get an experienced captain. Don't worry about the detail of the boat, the fleet is largely the same. Fishing never guarantees fish! As long as long as your captain tries hard, then that's all you can ask. Ocean Hunter was good for us today, and I would select the same boat tomorrow.

Big Game fishing is Seasonal so please be aware of which fish are running at the time you book. This is the same anywhere you travel so do not expect miracles off-season. Excellent place to experience some tight lines no matter what your experience level. What are you waiting for ? :)

We all got a dolphin/Mahi Mahi, each of which came in at 20 lbs+-. I have caught a 50lb striped bass and could not believe how strong the dolphin was.

The boat is constantly moving searching for fish and it takes time and patience to find the catch….so enjoy the ride.

Request to go to the FAD if you want to be guaranteed Mahi Mahi or king mackerel.

The winds were high, but the captain took great pains to ensure we caught fish. In calmer seas, I bet we would have caught tons more!

We prepared for rougher weather -- the winds can whip up a good rolling ocean -- even on the west "calm" side. Rain can come in fast and the sun will torch you -- so cover up as best as you can.

Go in the AM. If you get the afternoon charter consider taking a detour to swim with turtles in the heat of the day. Lisa the boss suggested it to us, I wish we would have listened.

It's Barbados. You're going going to have a nice time. there are better times of year to fish if you're hunting the bigguns.

Speak about your expectations, this crew will do whatever you wish to make your day awesome, can’t recommend enough!!

It was early in season for some of the larger fish but a good captain will know where to still get a catch.

Know the seasonal patterns for fish in the region. June is at the tail end of a season, so it can be hit and miss. But if looking for deep sea fishing, be loose in June on what you may be targeting

be aware that not all boats have toilets on board and the sea can be a little rough. But the Captian of your boat will bo all they can to make your day enjoyable.

These guys are good at what they do , so no matter how skilled you are they are there for you

Contact Cap Robbie and let him know what you want to fish for. He will make it happen

be patient. you might not catch the fish you were targeting but these guys will put you on fish.
