Tortola fishing in early March. Help needed

[giantfan]

I have a vacation planned for the first week in March and need a little advice on what kind of fishing gear I should bring.

We are renting a 50 foot motor yacht for a week of touring the BVI’s. This boat isn’t really set up for fishing and to be honest I don’t think that the wife would be too happy with me if I shanghaied everyone to go fishing.

I have upgraded the dink to a 16 foot center console RIB with a 65 hp motor. I have no idea what type of fish will be within reach of the small center console but I’m sure there will be something that will keep me busy.

I will be bringing a light weight spinning set up (12 lb) with me and will be able to rent a little larger spinning set up from the marina where we are picking up the boat.

What kind of hooks, leader, lures, ect…. Should I be bringing with me from the states? What kind of fish are biting at that time of year?

Any help and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

bring a couple 30's some rod holders and some small feather type lures and a few high speed trolling lures , you'll probably only cruise 12 knots or so, small tunas Kings and wahoo would be around. I have a couple cases if you need em

Thanks for the offer but I don't really want to bring any big stuff with me. As I'm sure you can imagine the wife will have me weighted down pretty good with just regular luggage.

Thanks, I can't wait.

Tan? Not likely. I will be bright red I'm sure.
