As we prepare for the May issue of Coastal Angler we are extremely excited about the upcoming weeks. Roffler’s Fishing Forecasting recently sent their predictions for “Billfishing the Bahamas” in preparation for the Bahamas Billfish Championship. They indicate the blue water necessary for blue marlin is prevalent in the lower Bahamas, and all indications are the conditions are extremely good for an active blue marlin season. The water here is absolutely beautiful. Although we are currently between seasons, we are finding a mixed bag of fish. A few white marlin have been caught in the past 2 weeks. Jack Tullius on the Black Bart Bertram, released a white as a Club Med angler fishing on the Hadenuff also released a white marlin.
Larry Twiner fishing on the Ms T, released a sail this week. We did see a blue marlin, along with another sail. The Hadeneuff guys pulled the hooks on a nice blue about 300 pounds. The wahoo are still in the area. Allen Seidel fishing on the Ms T, caught a respectable wahoo, Saturday. The yellowfin tuna can been found on the north humps or the southeast corner both morning and late evenings. Most of these are averaging 30 to 50 pounds. Bottom fishing has been good with a mixed bag of Black and red snapper being caught in 200 to 400 feet.
Just after April’s full moon we expect the blue marlin bite to provide some excitement to waiting anglers. The marina here at the Riding Rock is starting to fill up with some well known boats. If you are anticipating a vacation to San Salvador in the upcoming months you may contact the Riding Rock Inn and Marina, or the Sands Resort. Both are within walking distance to the marina and have ocean view rooms. They can also assist with awesome diving excursions throughout the island.
