Geo17pip Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Headed to the island in a week and figured id ask you guys if you have experience fishing there. Do you have any tips on where to go and what gear to use? I might bring my own spinning rod or fly rod or might just rent a rod from the local shops. Any info would be helpful. I looked online and there is just a lot of adds for charters and the common info we all know. Any secrets or tips would be great! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo17pip Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 So I ended up fishing with a hand line off the rocks right by the hotel beach. I used a spool of line and with some squid and caught a couple beautiful fish. Also had a small barracuda break my line.

Ken Gargett Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 looks like a species of what we would consider parrot fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to invest in a rod I can break down small enough to fit on carryon next time for future trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
