Chubasco Fishing Charters

Pelagic game fish, such as Blue Marlin, Wahoo, Yellow Fin Tuna, Mahi-Mahi (Dolphin Fish) and Skipjack Tuna tend to prefer deep blue water, hence the term Blue Water Fishing. The rule of thumb is the deeper the water the bigger the fish. Yet monster fish have been caught just off Nassau Harbour entrance, so it is just a rule of thumb. You never know when or where a big fish will strike. The Chubasco Charters team are prepared to hook you up and boat your big fish except for Billfish which will be released at all times if still alive. Make sure you save all your memories with a digital camera.

The fishing enthusiasts, who are interested in the large fish, prefer the reefs, where their patience and skills are put to the test. The larger fish, who make a prize game for anglers who prefer the excitement of a weightier catch and tour the bottomless waters of the Atlantic, are found in these locations of the ocean.

In areas where the drop off is steep from the reef to the Atlantic ocean, deep-sea fishing is experienced around these islands. This sort of angling consists of dragging a baited line through the deep waters with huge fishing equipment that has bait that attracts marlin, sailfish, tuna, mackerel or mahi-mahi. Apart from these fish, reef fish, bottom fish and Billfish, can also be baited here. .

Bahamas fishing charters are plentiful at several marinas right through the islands with skippers who know the various challenges that is brought in with the changing seasons. The summer months, are the best time for blue tuna, blue marlin, and mahi-mahi. The winter is better for fishing of the king mackerel. From November to April it is good to fish for the Wahoo and white marlins are from April to June for a good catch.

According to the laws and rules of the Bahamas, fishing charters are not allowed to have more than six lines in the water together, at any given time. By not allowing too many boats to clog up the waters, the natural balance of the cycle of fishing, feeding and spawning of the fish is protected.

Bahamas Fishing Vacation – You Need to Go Fishing in the Bahamas Once Before You Die

Author: Jimmy Harris

If you’ve been fishing for any length of time, a Bahamas fishing vacation has been calling to you.

The reason is simple-virtually every fisherman wants to test out their skills in the open waters of the ocean, and the Bahamas offer some of the best deep sea fishing in the world. It is a fisherman’s paradise, and one of the places I recommend you have to visit before you die.

Priceline.com Airfare – Choose your EXACT flight & time!

The Bahamas has numerous spots you can go fishing, so it’s hard to give you just one that is a can’t miss, because there are many that will offer you plentiful fishing opportunities.

Virtually any Bahamas fishing vacation resort you go to, you will find guides who can direct you to the best fishing spots. You certainly don’t want to go to one of the best fishing areas in the world and come home empty handed.

One thing to keep in mind, as with most deep sea fishing locations, if you aren’t prepared to go after the tough fish, then don’t bother booking a Bahamas fishing vacation. If you are used to your local fishing spot, and only catching your local species, you are in for quite a surprise.

The ocean around the Bahamas is home to many kinds of fish, notably the marlin, sailfish, tuna, kingfish, etc. You are in for quite a challenge by reeling these bad boys in, because they weigh a ton, and really put up a fight when bringing them in.

The bonefish deserve their own mention, because they are the most plentiful fish in the Bahamas, and are closely related to the Tarpon found in Florida and other southern areas. These fish, however, are usually slightly smaller, as the biggest one ever caught was actually slightly less than sixteen pounds.

Most bonefish average about three to 5 pounds, however, don’t let the size fool you; the bonefish can be a very hard fish to bring in because it is a fighter. You have to struggle long and hard to get this fish out of the water.

Just about every place in the Bahamas has a large variety of fish, but some vary in quantity compared to others, and I’d recommend you check with any fishing friends you have who’ve taken a Bahamas fishing vacation in the past, and see which lodges they’d recommend.

You really can’t go wrong with any of them, but there are some hidden gems you might not know about that your friends can advise you on, so keep this in mind.

How much can you expect to pay to rent out your own boat? Depending on the length of time you will be out on the water, anywhere from several hundred to six hundred dollars and up. Also, this vary will depending on the kind of boat you will be getting.

As I usually advise with new locations and fishing spots you’ve never been to,  get a guide for your fist day at least, to show you the hot spots. If you want to go solo after that, fine, but at least get a feel for the best places to fish so you have the best chance of success on your trip.

To book your Bahamas fishing vacation, I’d recommend going to any of our links, and do it today for great discounts.

Charter boats are located in several harbors along the coast. Pass Christian, Gulfport, Biloxi, Long Beach , and Ocean Springs each house several charter boats, as well as offering fresh caught gulf shrimp, oysters, fish, and other seafood for sale fresh out of the water.

A full day fishing charter customarily runs for up to eight hours with varying departure times. Most charters depart early, at 6:00- 7:00a.m. Those wishing for longer or shorter adventures might consider the overnight and 1/2 day trips. The trips are usually comprised of four to six people with standard pricing for a full day beginning at around $400.00; 1/2 day trips are priced starting at $285.00 and allow for up to six passengers although prices may vary depending on the season. Ice, bait and tackle will be provided for your convenience.

All of the fish you will be catching will definitely make for hungry fishermen. The party chartering the boat usually is required to provide food and beverages for itself as well as the captain and the crew, but special arrangements are available in advance with most captains, for an additional fee, to supply the food and refreshments if requested.

Generally, the charter boat captains have no restrictive guidelines for the consumption of alcohol on their vessels as long as local laws are followed, yet for the safety of you and others in your party, excessive consumption and alcohol abuse is not tolerated.

Make sure proper dress is worn for your deep sea fishing trip. It is recommended that soft deck shoes be worn. Head coverings, such as caps and hats, proper protective sunglasses and adequate sunscreen are essential. During the spring, fall and winter, make a point to wear warm enough clothing to provide protection from cool winds that may blow in off of the open waters. During the summer months, clothing that provides protection from the sun is needed and a liberal amount of sunscreen should be applied to anyone that will be exposed to the sun for extended periods of time while trying to hook the big one.

To avoid a scheduling disappointment, especially for seasonal holiday or weekend trips, charters should be reserved well in advance, although reservations that are made an evening before may be a sufficient amount of time for booking weekday trips.

A Mississippi saltwater fishing license is required to fish in the state waters. One must be obtained prior to the trip, unless notification has been made beforehand that the license is covered by the charter boat. Make sure to confirm when booking your charter.

Whatever type or length of trip, experiencing the wonders and creatures of the  Mississippi  Sound and the Gulf of Mexico will provide lasting memories and fishing stories.

Galveston Island and fishing on Galveston Bay one year after Hurricane Ike

Author: Alan Pereyra

On September 13th, 2008 Hurricane Ike made landfall directly over Galveston Island in Texas. Hurricane Ike was a category 2 storm, but as we all found out it caused massive damage and destruction equivalent to a category 4 storm. Hurricane Ike stretched over 500 miles, had howling winds up to 110 mph and a storm surge of 13-20 feet. Hurricane Ike was the third most destructive hurricane to ever make landfall in the United States and it was blamed for up to 200 deaths nation wide. Residents up and down the Texas gulf coast to the Louisiana coast were greatly effected by this storm, but Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula were the hardest areas hit. The storm surge of up to 20 feet and flooding were the main culprits of most of the coastal damage. Unfortunately homes, businesses, landmarks, and even lives were lost due to Hurricane Ike. It had been 23 years since Galveston Island had experienced a storm of this magnitude, hopefully it will be over another 23 years until they experience another one.

It has been just over a year since Hurricane Ike ravaged the gulf coast and changed so many peoples lives. The land clean up and rebuilding is still underway on Galveston Island and in near by communities. The good news is that businesses are opening, houses are being rebuilt and visitors are returning to Galveston Island. Galveston Island is looking better and better every day. I participated in the water clean up of the entire Galveston bay complex from March 2009 through July 2009. I spent most of those days on the water watching trees, cars, boats, parts of houses, refrigerators, telephone poles among many other things being pulled out from the bay system. The land clean up and rebuilding will probably continue for a few more years, but the bay and beach clean up is finally complete. East bay, West bay, Trinity bay and the surrounding waters are actually cleaner now than they were before Hurricane Ike.

Fishing in Galveston was not negatively effected by Hurricane Ike. In fact the fishing on Galveston bays have been really good to excellent since Ike and I see it only getting better. I have been fishing the Galveston bays all my life and Ike didn’t change fishing at all. I have been catching quality fish at the same spots that I have always caught them at. The mid bay reefs and the shorelines are all in excellent shape. The fish are very healthy and the numbers are still there. For someone that has enjoyed countless memorable days on the waters surrounding Galveston Island, that is wonderful news. Many people might still think that fishing in and around Galveston is not up to past standards or that the bays are still filled with debris, but that could not be farther from the truth. Go to www.galveston-fishing.com to see some catches from recent fishing trips. All the bays are really clean and the fish are ready to be caught. Galveston Bay is one of the best fisheries on the gulf coast so don’t hesitate to visit Galveston Island and spend a quality day on the water fishing.    Capt. Alan Pereyra  www.galveston-fishing.com
