There is great fishing year round, but from March thru October the bonefish and permit are running like crazy. You can fly-fish for bonefish from the island and spin fish for bonefish and small snappers. You can also wade off the island for fly-fishing. Away from the island you can fly-fish for bonefish and permit. You can spin fish for mackerel, barracuda, grouper, and larger snapper which are in the waters year-round; tarpon and wahoo are more difficult to catch.
"The staff was phenomenal. Captain Gilbert and Crispin go out of their way to explain and teach you about the island and ocean when you are with them. They also hooked me up with a 30# Grouper.

Please note that we do not supply fly-fishing equipment or flies, we ask that you bring your own. Weather and your safety will influence the scheduling of fishing trips.
If I don't want the full fishing package, can I just add a day of fishing to my plans?
Yes! Fly-fishing can be done in the flats around the island (for free, bring your own gear) or you can choose to hire a fly-fishing guide (full day only) who operates from a small skiff. Reservations need to be made at least 48 hours in advance. Remember to bring your our fly-fishing gear and flies!
