What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Nassau for the first time?

We probably fished for a total of about 2.5HRS at no fault of Cpt. We wanted to have our fish cooked by a restaurant recommended which left us with limited time fishing due to our departure time. We caught a total of 16 keepers. Probably just as many if not more releases, and just as many if not more misses. There were 3 in my party. 1 avid fisherman, 1 done it before and can do it again, and 1 who has never held a rod in their hand. The catches worked out as you would expect. The novice missed as many bites as they got. The experienced missed a few. The avid caught the most but still missed some Bites.

Be aware that you will be trolling most of the time - whether deep sea or in shallow waters. It is not “active” fishing like we’ve experience most other places. With a great captain you can still have a good time — and with luck you can still bring in fish!

Make sure you read all reviews and how the Captain responds. Bad days of fishing can’t be predicted but bad service is another matter. Captain Teddy was a class act compared to other captain’s I’ve had here in the Bahamas

Fishing in December is limited and wind risky. However, temperatures are great. We caught a nice cross-section of fish. Mackerel, Barracuda, Grouper and Yellowtail. Early morning is best. Great outing.

I fish a lot and the one thing I would recommend is to bring some ice to ice down your catch and keep it fresh. Its not so bad to not have ice on a 4 hour charter but I would definitely recommend bringing ice for the fish if you do a whole day charter.

If you expect to do sport fishing, deep sea fishing, book a 35-38 foot boat at a minimum. Boats that size and larger usually have restrooms and cabins and that can help make the experience much nicer for your first time out. Take tons of photos and videos. Get yourself ready for memories of a lifetime.

Like anywhere in the world, a bite is never guaranteed! Heard no boats had much luck the day we went. But the day before they did!! It’s worth it to go and try though, you won’t regret it.

The fishing is probably better further away from the Nassau harbor where there is less boat traffic, but there is still plenty to catch.

They call it fishing not catching! So don’t be upset if you don’t catch something! If you catch that’s the bonus of the trip!

Try using the hand lines. Go for the bottom fish instead of spending the whole trip trying to get a marlin .

Wahoo did not cooperate for us, but we still caught a variety reef fishing and some tuna while trolling. All in all a great time.

Go for it! So fun. And there is even a place to have your fish cooked if interested.

Make sure you know before-hand what you are going to do with your catch when you return.

We caught 1 yellowfin tuna, 9 skipjack tuna and approximately 130 lbs. blue marlin.

Wait until the end of February or early March to book a fishing trip. Seems to be the time to catch fish you can eat.

I didn't catch anything on a 4 hr charter but bring a travel rod and fish the beaches in the morning theres all kinds of jacks and snappers to be caught on light tackle.

Understand that the weather can be hit or miss. You may not get a shot at the biggest fish, but we caught more than enough for lunch.

We fished only a little as we were snorkeling and beach touring mostly. The ride, captain and seas were TOP NOTCH! Highly reccomend!

It was a bad day of fishing, it happens. Crew worked hard, so if they were out there, we would have found them....just one of those days.

We caught several Different kinds of reef fish. Mostly small but our line broke when trying to reel in a few of them.

We caught enough fish to feed a family of four and amazing meal at the The Poop Deck near the marina.

Yes. It does get hot so drink lots of water, take breaks inside and go on top and let the wind hit you so it feels like air conditioning. Great experience.

It is a great experience there are many species of fish very different from those you catch in the US

Many of the charters are overpriced. $6-700 is fair for half day. $800 and up is ludicrous. If people stop overpaying the prices will moderate.

The only problem is we visited in early June which was sort of the rainy period in the Bahamas. I highly recommend the fishing there but I would go outside of May/June.

Well I’m not an experienced fisherman, but if you want a fun time for teens somewhat experienced for fishing this is the charter. Really helped and taught them.

We left a pair of sunglasses on the boat and would like to get them back. Please send to 13 fairway circle / New Smyrna Beach , FL ( USA) 32168

July seems to be hit or miss time of year. The website for Captain Mike's Chubasco Fishing shows a graphic by month for best fishing targets. Go by that if the main focus of your trip is to fish.

Anything.. Trolling was slow then we started bottom fishing and it was on fire it was on fish after another.

Wanted bigger fish, dont think captain and I were on the same page. We stayed in shallows- 40 ft.
