Bahamas - Game Fishing from Port Lucaya

Bahamian’s take their fishing seriously… I mean really seriously and nowhere else is this more apparent than Port Lucaya on Grand Bahama where the biggest and the most popular fishing tournaments are held each year. Competition is fierce as each season is welcomed by an appropriate competition of epic proportions. When you see the catches you will know exactly why. The waters of Lucaya are a treasure trove of big game fish (just ask the late novelist Ernest Hemingway who actually stayed and wrote on nearby Bimini so he could indulge in his favourite hobby big time.)

The variety of game fish is nothing short of impressive – Blue Marlin, Tuna, Wahoo, Kingfish, Grouper, Swordfish, Sharks, Barracuda and Dolphin amongst the most popular. If you don’t fancy heading out to deep waters or simply can’t afford the expense of a fishing charter, the shallow rock pools and small lagoons around the area offer excellent opportunities for anglers where they can fish for permit, the ubiquitous bonefish and numerous other fine catches. Famously the most enjoyable waste of time it really doesn’t get much better than this.
