What would you recommend to anglers fishing in St. Thomas for the first time?

Go to Captain Eric Anaclerio, by far the best. There’s a reason he only has 5 star reviews. I thought it was odd but I totally understand now. Don’t regret it book him for your trip. Great with kids or just adults. The best!!!

Explore, find the fish. It’s high risk high reward out here if you’re fishing from shore. One spot might be nothing but needlefish (hound fish) the other might have so many 25-40” tarpon you’re guaranteed to find a hungry one. 3 stars because access is tough and from shore the variety is pretty low.

It was beautiful, the water was surprisingly calm. And most importantly, the fish like to bite.

It’s harder work than u think!! Reeling in a shark or anything takes some arm muscle but the captain Eric helped us when our arms failed.

A couple fish we caught were out of season. Everything really was great though, weather, sea and wind conditions. We really had a great day!

Take the charter out with Captain Erik. He is amazing and super knowledgeable but also understand that he nor anyone else can predict weather or if the fish are biting.

Exceeded our wildest dreams for our first family experience in guided fishing. It really helps that you are in 1000’ deep water about 30 minutes from shore.
