Fishing in Staniel Cay Bahamas makes for perfect bone fishing !
If you enjoy fishing, this is the place to be. Bonefish out at Harvey Cay or in Pipe Creek, both just a few minutes away! For deep-sea fishing, the expansive water of the Exuma Sound is full of grouper, snapper, dolphin, tuna and more! Guides are available for deep-sea fishing, bonefishing, and sightseeing. An annual bonefishing festival is sponsored here on August 5, during the celebration of Bahamian Independence Day. The Happy People Marina arranges sportfishing trips with local guides, as well as snorkeling trips. Fly fishermen particularly enjoy bonefishing. However, these fish can he hard to find and do require a bit of patience. Known as the "grey ghost," bonefish are often elusive and can reach speeds of 30mph once hooked. But if you do manage to hook a bonefish, you may find yourself hooked on the sport. Bonefishing is growing as a local favorite and takes place in the flats. Guides may pole a flat-bottomed boats for the fishermen, or the anglers themselves may wade in knee-deep water to catch these fish, which weigh no more than 15 pounds. Bonefish are often found in schools of 100 and more, so when one swims by there are usually more to follow. A word to the wise: The name "bonefish" is particularly descriptive of these smaller fish. Though you may be tempted to eat your catch, they don't make an enjoyable meal, as they do have plenty of bones. Reef fishing is not the most popular type of fishing among vacationers, but anglers with a bit of patience and a love of challenges may wish to try their hand out on the reefs. While reefs are filled with fish, catching one require a bit of skill. Bait is sunk with weights, so it's particularly suited to coarse anglers. Remember that reefs are usually quite large. Travel a little further offshore in Staniel Cay and you'll find everything from tuna to sharks. Deep sea fishermen can enjoy hooking plenty of fish. A deep drop-off from the reefs surrounding the cays makes it easy to reach the deep sea. Fishing boats can trawl for marlin, sailfish, tuna, mahi mahi, or mackerel, and deep sea fishermen should remember to use heavy gauge lines.
