A: Inshore fishing refers to fishing around the islands, mostly using the islands as protection from weather and sea conditions. Inshore trips focus on catching smaller fish normally found on coral reefs or larger predator fish like King Fish (Mackerel), Barracuda, or Sharks. Trolling, bottom fishing, and using live bait. This is a good choice for fishing with young children.

A: As long as sea conditions allow, offshore fishing is usually the most exciting style of fishing. Offshore fishing refers to fishing along one of our two “drop offs” which include the South Drop or the North Drop. Along the drop off, the depth usually goes from about 100-200 feet to a sudden drop off to thousands of feet of water. This style of fishing focuses on catching larger pelagic fish including Marlin, Tuna, Mahi, and Wahoo. Methods used mostly include trolling and using live bait (when available). This is the best choice for those looking for large trophy fish.
