Bermuda - The Fishing

Photograph of Deep Sea FishingYou don’t have to be a world-class angler to take advantage of what Bermuda has to offer. In fact, it’s okay if you’ve never fished in your life. There are plenty of skilled guides on the islands willing to take you in hand and show you how it’s done. A couple of hours of instruction, a fast boat or a calm, shallow-water flat, and you’re in business, as surely hooked as any wahoo or amberjack – doomed to spend the rest of your days in search of “The Big One.” In recent years the numbers of fish on the reefs and in the shallow water within the reefline have declined. This situation has caused real concern and new government regulations have already done much to restore the dwindling finny population.

The quality of sport fishing in Bermuda is high year-round, but the prime season is between May and November. There are more species of fish in the waters off Bermuda than you’re ever likely to catch, and you have several options as to how you might go about it. Of course, offshore fishing is the premier version of the sport in Bermuda, but there really is something for everyone. You don’t need to charter expensive deep-sea boats to enjoy a good day out. You can do it from a small rental boat all by yourself, from the beach, from a private
dock or a hotel fishing pier. You’re not likely to catch a trophy sailfish or marlin from the dock – you’ll have to go to sea for that – but you will catch pompano, and perhaps even bonefish. The key is knowing where to fish.
