Fresh Wild Card Charter Yacht Club Montego Bay Fishing Reports

I think planning a trip around fishing is better than planning a trip and adding fishing on.

It’s decent it’s a little slower to fish they said but made it a good time

You cannot beat experience and local knowledge and this is exactly what you get with Steven, Kevin & Shane, the "Just Hook It Crew" — which is exactly what they do and exactly what we wanted. We would all definitely recommend this experience!

The seas are fairly big in February our group had no problems but if you don’t have your legs I suggest taking something for it

This is not sitting with a pole in your hand relaxing until something bites so be prepared for that! There are 4-6 lines rigged and the captain will work to look for indicators of where the fish are so when they start biting - you start reeling!

This is the best excursion in Montego Bay, Jamaica! Great for adults and families.

We were told that because of the heat, the afternoons are better for catching fish when you get a little wind. We intend to go back before we leave and will book an afternoon trip.

You are always search for schools of fish and following birds not a lot of structure holding fish..

Don’t go with a low budget outfit under $600 for 1/2 day. Make sure you are clear on what you want: trolling vs deep dive. If you want to keep the fish, make sure that is allowed and that the crew will clean it. Avoid outfits that offer snorkeling and drinking if you really want to catch fish.

Go on Captain Criag's Magic Reel trip! We didn't catch much the day we went, it was rough and a bit rainy, but we had a fun and memorable trip.

Take care of the Capital we don’t tip the Captain in the states just the mate

Go the full 8 hour charter if you can, it may take the first 4 hours to find & get on the fish!

The crew of Reel Magic were great with our first timers. Bring sun screen and a good attitude. The rest will be fantastic!
