Bahamas Fishing Report
Blue Marlin, Grouper, Muttons,and Flag Yellowtails
Over the last two weeks, we've had the opportunity to fish just about every day, and venture away from San Salvador a bit. We've visited Cat Island, Rum Cay, and Conception Island along the way. Coming off the Full Moon, we expected the bite to take a few days to materialize, which it did. The first few days after the moon were pretty slow, with a couple dolphin picked here and there, a few small yellowfin, and about 1 Marlin sighting per day. We also expected the bottom fishing to be red hot on the June Moon, which did not disappoint. At night we caught the Mutton in full spawn, and the big Yellowtails showed, along with some nice Yellowfin Grouper on one anchorage. One evening our customers battled fish till 3am, with non-stop action. The sharks eventually get in on the game and take their fare share of fish, but what a blast. Conditions couldn't' have been better, as we had very light easterly winds for most of this stretch. Four days after the Full Moon, the Blue Marlin finally made a good showing. Off of Sandy Point in San Salvador, we raised 6 or 7 fish in the course of 4 hours of fishing. We had the next morning off, but expected to be right back on the fish that afternoon. We had been fishing a little fished area 5 miles off the point, towards Rum Cay. We had been getting bites in this area as we've been moving back and forth between San Salvador and Rum Cay, so we decided to take some time and fish the area, and it paid off. Unfortunately, after that spectacular morning, the fishing has been sporadic once again, with a few sightings here and there over the last several days of fishing. We believe that the main body of fish has yet to move through, and that July, and probably August is going to be offering some very good Blue Marlin fishing.
