Deep-sea fishing

Deep-sea fishing takes place off the cays where the drop-off from the reef to the Atlantic is steep. This type of fishing involves trolling the deep waters with large fishing tackle that’s baited for marlin or sailfish, tuna, mahimahi or mackerel. Fishermen can also hook billfish, bottomfish or a reef fish.
The best time for blue marlin, blue tuna and mahimahi is from April to July and for king mackerel, from January to April. It’s wahoo time between November and April, and white marlin are best caught from April to June.
