I did wish we caught more and a variety, but that's how fishing is at times. We faired better than others that didn't catch anything at all. So overall it was a great day. I highly recommend Andrew and Y-Knot

We were lucky. The previous two days were bad for fishing. Summertime (off-season) isn’t the best time for fishing. You will have to be patient and hope that you have a great Captain like Andrew that just has that instinct to find them.

In July- it was pretty hot, I suggest a boat with cover/shade. Most of the ride was calm but getting around the point had about 15 mins of rough waters- so if you get sickness- take Dramamine!!
If taking kids- lots of suncreen and try to find a boat with a bathroom and shade because the slow ride out can get brutal from the sun.
Overall- fishing was fun and got some good fish which we could recognize from prior snorkeling in the area.

May is a good month for fishing. The boat is comfortable with plenty of shade. Kids like to feed tarpon at the dock where the fish are cleaned. Sharks come in also. Good restaurants near the dock area. Finish a day of fishing with a good meal. Very accessible from the seven mile beach area.

We caught a skip jack (small tuna species) and a local restaurant made it into ceviche for us. I recommend listening to captain Bobby. If there is a fish to be caught out there, he will find it!

Capt took us to the east end of the island where the fish were. Bite was a little slow at first, but crew kept working and we landed a monster tuna. Kids loved every minute.

Kind of a slow fishing time of the year, so have fun in the reef or in the harbor, but don’t expect the big fish this time of year. Still a blast with a Captain like C!!
Mark Hawker
Be prepared to have to go through some choppy water to get to the leeward side of the island. Charters won’t go out if it is too rough but it can get bouncy on the windward side!

It was a very windy day so not that great for the big fish....we also stayed near the reef.

You will never take enough sunblock. Reapply more often than you think you need to!

Weather was not cooperative, rough seas but Captain Bobby navigated to calmer seas for a enjoyable experience.

You can’t always expect to catch something but this crew knows the best places that will increase your odds

Fishing in the caymans is terrific from the standpoint of you drop from 15ft to 1000ft in just a few minutes. You don’t travel far to get on large pelagic sea creatures.

A little slow this time of year inshore but everyday day is different so take a chance and go! If nothing else, the water is beautiful and the company is great!

Just understand the weather doesn’t always cooperate. The chef at Tukka knows what he’s doing and you won’t be disappointed in the meal he prepares with your catch.

Be prepared for hot and humid temps. Stay hydrated and wear sun protective clothing, hat and sunscreen.

Be sure to clarify exactly what to do when you get a fish on in terms of setting the hook and adjusting the real

A half day reef fishing trip is a great way to start. It’s not very far from shore and the water is beautiful. You’ll catch fish and have fun.

Be prepared for active seas and if you get sick put your patch on in advance and take your meds in advance as we did and you will be good.

Put sunscreen on before you get in the boat and dont forget your legs. Water can get rough farther out so take the less drowsy dramamine.

Trolling is not a good idea especially if you have kids. Stick to reef fishing.

Check out the winds and water conditions for deep sea if you get sea sick at all:)
