That’s a loaded query. For me, it’s nearly like asking a guardian who their favourite youngster is, and the Bahamas actually has a lot to supply. However to slim it down, I’d must say Chub Cay. Its proximity to the US, non-public airstrip, and just lately renovated marina and resort assist to make logistics uncomplicated. Chub is a superb place to base a summer season journey for all family members. Nonetheless, when the circumstances are proper—November by Might, through the full moon cycles—you may set out and catch nearly each species that makes the Bahamas residence.

Clarence City’s Flying Fish Marina on Lengthy Island within the southern Bahamas has actually reworked over the previous few years into an actual vacation spot with a variety of nice offshore fishing spots inside 8 miles, quite than only a gasoline cease.

Having been to almost each inhabited Bahamas island, my favourite has modified over time, however as a result of I like seclusion and nice fishing, my alternative is San Salvador. Most South Florida boats don’t need to journey 300-plus miles simply to go fishing, however they’re lacking out. Regardless that San Sal’s world-class billfishing gives many areas to fish—Sandy Level to the southeast nook to the Bridge and Rum Cay—the winter wahoo fishing is nothing wanting epic. With fish pushing 100 kilos, some locals say there are 200-pounders simply ready to be caught. And the house owners and operators at Using Rock Inn Resort and Marina are fantastic individuals who will do something to assist.
