Fishing

Where are the best spots?

Try dropping anchor at the tip end of North Bimini known as Moselle Shoal, or just off Bimini Bay's Three Sisters Rock. Another hot spot is Great Isaac Rock, located fifteen (15) miles north. If bonefishing’s your game, cruise over to the Great Bahama Bank and wade barefoot in the crystal clear waters these "ghostlike" creatures are known to haunt. If you’d rather not get your feet wet, hop aboard a charter boat for a scenic daylong outing.

What’s in season?

Anglers will find great fishing around Bimini year-round, but certain seasons are prime for specific game fish. Winter is when you’ve got the best shot at mackerel and wahoo, those blue water beauties that have the strength of a sailfish, the teeth of a barracuda and the speed of a surface-to-air missile. You’ll want to have the fighting chair rigged and ready in spring and summer for blue and white marlin, sailfish, dolphin (mahi mahi) and blue-fin tuna.

Though the fishing for them is good all year, the summer months, when the water is calmest, is the best time to set up over the wrecks and reefs for grouper, snapper and barracuda. On the flats, summer is also when the permit are on the hunt around Bimini. And bonefish, the stars of the shallow water? Don’t every forget your fly rod or light-spinning tackle when you come to Bimini, because the fishing for these silver streaks of lightning is excellent all year long.
