Anyone fished Tucks and Caicios?

[KAISER]

I am heading to Middle Caicos on Friday and would love to hear anyone's inside scoop.

Thanks

Have a great trip, it's a fabulous destination. My son did a study abroad program on South Caicos a few years ago, and he has pictures of schools of tailing bonefish that must have 100 bones in them. He did a study of lemon sharks, and they would get bonefish the size of keeper stripers in their nets, along with lots of tarpon and huge barracuda. We did an offshore trip with Silver Deep charters out of Providenciales, (that's my boy holding a yellowfin tuna on their website), and we had a great trip. They may be able to hook you up on Middle Caicos. Every other island has (or at least had) tremendous bonefishing that you can wade to, I did some flyfishing for them and they hit nearly every fly that I threw at them, especially Crazy Charlies with a hint of pink. At low tide you used to be able to wade from Middle Caicos to North Caicos, sightcasting the whole way, just a tremendous trip. I'm jealous... If you do get to North Caicos, stop in and say hello to Demi Moore, she and Bruce Willis used to have a little place on the beach on the north end of the island. Have a great trip, I'd love to hear how you made out...

I just brought a boat down there this fall from Plymouth Ma. 1770 kt. mile trip. She is in Turtle Cove. The owner is down there now and I fly down soon with abunch of guys to go fishing. Last month we caught a bunch of small wahoo, yellowfin, mahi, and baracuda just outside of the reef. The island is really cool and it is 85 degrees there today. You will have a ball there. Where are you staying on the island? Capt. Eric

I will be out on middle, about 20 mi from Provo. Staying at a locals private house. From what I hear it is virgin water! Very little pelagic fishing being done. I am pumped!

5 or 6 years ago I fished off the north caicos for a few days. Had 6 big mahi and yahoo with jay johnson from bottle creek lodge. Also did a reef fishing day with a couple locals and got a handful of big mutton snapper. Awesome awesome area, enjoy the trip. If you scuba dive then I highly recommend hitting some of the walls. Coolest dive of my life. 150 ft vis on vertical wall thousands of feet tall
