This is the cover of November 2010 issueSalt Water Sportsman Magazine - featuring Brian Stapleton's 47lb mahi caught on our boat during Spice Island Billfish Tournament 2010.
| Grenada is blessed with deep
water close to shore so run outs are only 15-20 minutes! In fact our
record is a blue marlin hook up 20 minutes after leaving the dock! Marlin
fishing is our speciality but we are happy to target your favourite species!
We generally troll circle hook rigged ballyhoo and artificial lures
when fishing deep water. Normally we run 5 lines and dredge teasers. OFFSHORE SPECIES TARGETED: |

Grenada has inshore and offshore reefs, the edges of which can provide good fishing with varied species of fish. In some cases the drop off goes from 80ft to 800 ft very quickly and these steep drops are normally the best spots for a wahoo or kingfish. We troll wire rigged ballyhoo and deep running artificials when fishing the reef edges. REEF EDGE SPECIES TARGETED ARE: |
