If you are in your BAHAMAS PROPERTY and are looking for that perfect relaxing trip to get away from it all, enjoy the sun and scenery and even maybe catch a trophy fish, then why not find the perfect fishing trip there is lots of choice and you will be sure to enjoy a day out at sea or maybe even just wade out into the sea and fish from there in the breathtaking scenery.
The Island of Nassau is great all year round and there are chartered boats which can be taken everyday and what is even better about Nassau is that it is close to the Continental shelf so you will not need to travel hours to start dropping lines to fish therefore it is possible to get 4 or 8 hours of fishing time, just imagine how many fish you could catch in that time! The types of fish that can be caught from Nassau are Dolphin, Marlin, Wahoo, Tuna and Sailfish, once out to sea there is some beautiful pristine coral reef in 30 foot of water which you will be fishing on and just a few miles further the fishing is a mile deep. If you prefer not to be on the boat you can venture a little further along the south coast of Nassau where there are shallow waters perfect for fly fishing with many fish in the sea.
Surf fishing in the Bahamas is popular as it is easy, relaxing and cheap although it is not always easy and this is not due to the fact that a permit is required it is only due to the surf itself, as the waves can be quite strong at times, the key is to makesure that you have long casts which are well targetted and work with the current not against it. The type of fish which can be caught whilst surf fishing are Bonefish, Barracuda, Pompano, Jacks and grouper, some of these fish are larger than others for instance a Bonefish is usually 3 to 10lbs however they can grow up to 15lbs, Baracuda are a much larger fish at 25lbs and over 6 feet long and they will almost certainly be present wherever there are bonefish as this is what they feed on, they are both very fast fish and Bonefish especially will sense your presence when you are trying to fish for them. The sort of rods needed for Surf fishing have to be the strong durable type so that the waves cant break them, the length of an average rod is 8 or 9 feet.
There are always plenty of things to see and do when you want to get out of your BAHAMAS PROPERTY for the day, and fishing is one of the most relaxing and also the best way to enjoy the scenery of the islands of the Bahamas, whether you are an experienced fisher or just starting out on your first trip, there is a programme perfect for you.
