Caribbean Fishing – Have a Fun Day on the Caribbean Sea
Picture yourself ringed by turquoise blue waters, with a tropical island visible in the distance… quietly testing the waters for fish while soaking up the warmth of the sun. While you’re out there on the Caribbean sea, you might see some whales or dolphins swimming by. You can venture out deep sea fishing for big game fish like marlin, sailfish or swordfish, you can fish the reefs for large delicious snappers and groupers, or stick to the shallows for the unique challenge of some bone-fishing / fly-fishing from a sandbar. You can also help the local eco-system by fishing for the invasive lionfish – Caribbean fishing has it all. You choose the adventure.
