Top Catches This Season

Nassau's waters are like a all-you-can-eat buffet for anglers. Right now, we're seeing some monster Mahi Mahi (Dorado) coming in - these acrobatic fighters are putting on a real show. The Wahoo bite has been hot too, with some speedsters in the 50+ pound range. If you're after something with a bit more teeth, the Great Barracuda are always ready to give you a run for your money. For the bottom fishing enthusiasts, we're hauling in some tasty Mutton Snapper and even a few Bluefin Tuna for the lucky ones. No matter what ends up on the end of your line, you're in for some world-class fishing.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Mahi Mahi (Dorado): These guys are the rock stars of the offshore world. With their electric blue and green colors, they're as beautiful as they are delicious. Mahi are known for their acrobatic fights, often leaping clear out of the water once hooked. They grow fast and can reach up to 4 feet long. The best part? They travel in schools, so when you find one, you've often found many. Peak season is late spring through summer, but we catch them year-round in the Bahamas.

Wahoo: If you're after speed, Wahoo is your fish. These streamlined predators are one of the fastest fish in the sea, capable of short bursts up to 60 mph. They're a prized catch not just for the fight, but for their tasty, white meat. Wahoo can grow up to 8 feet long and over 180 pounds, though most we catch are in the 15-30 pound range. They're most abundant in the fall and winter months, but can be caught year-round with the right techniques.

Great Barracuda: With their menacing teeth and lightning-fast strikes, Barracuda are the adrenaline junkies' favorite. These ambush predators can grow up to 6 feet long and are known for their aggressive behavior. While not typically kept for eating, they provide an exciting catch with their powerful runs and aerial displays. Barracuda are resident fish, so we can target them year-round, but they're especially active in the warmer months.

Mutton Snapper: For those who like their fishing a bit more strategic, Mutton Snapper offers a great challenge. These bottom-dwellers are known for their cautious nature and strong fights once hooked. They're highly prized for their sweet, white meat, making them a favorite for the dinner table. Mutton Snapper can grow up to 30 pounds, with the average catch being around 5-15 pounds. Spring and early summer are peak seasons when they gather to spawn.

Bluefin Tuna: Landing a Bluefin is the holy grail for many offshore anglers. These massive fish can grow over 1,000 pounds, though the ones we typically encounter are in the 100-300 pound range. Known for their incredible strength and endurance, hooking a Bluefin often leads to a battle that can last hours. They're most abundant in our waters during their winter migration, typically from December to March. Remember, Bluefin are carefully managed, so we practice catch and release to help conserve these magnificent creatures.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

It's not just about the fish - though let's be honest, the fishing here is pretty epic. What keeps folks coming back year after year is the whole package.
