Virgin Gorda - Fishing Oct???

[Sea Draggin]

I have a friend that will be going to the BVI's in October and would like to do some kind of Big Game fishing.

Any hints/tips/suggestions on what to do and and charter service recommendations.

Will there be any billfish around for him?

Ok, October -

decent shot a blues, yft and wahoo
less than decent for mahi and saildogs

November

good for mahi, yft and wahoo
less than decent for blues
decent for saildogs

1. check out Pirates in Norman Island and ask for a Bushwacker
2. check out the virgin gorda baths
3. local beer is great, caribs

forgot to mention that I'm about 90 NM away, so we do the run a couple of times a year.

check out Bitter End Yatch Club, that place is awesome. also check Saba Rock. Just across from the BEYC.

Check charter prices, about 2 years ago diesel and gas were above $5 a gal....haven't been there in a while, but I'd guess it should be higher than $6 now

Carom, he also mentioned a place called Peter Island. Can you recommend a specific charter service there?
