| Grenada Sportfishing | |||||||||
|
Grenada is a lovely green Caribbean island located perfectly for sport fishing. The west coast is sheltered from the prevailing north-east trade winds and this means it is possible to go fishing every day in the blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. The beautiful beaches, warm and sunny climate and a host of things to do, add up to an attractive place too for friends and family who may not wish to go fishing. The drop-off here is staggering. Fishing starts after only twenty minutes already in 1,000 feet of water and the boat reaches the 3,000 feet contour only five miles from the dock. On a full-day charter even 6,000 feet is accessible being less than 10 miles from land. A dream come true for sports fishermen and ladies where virtually the whole eight-hour day is spent with lures in the water rather than steaming out to distant marks. Even so trips can go as far as thirty miles out to find the bigh BLUE MARLIN and YELLOWFIN TUNA. Big blues up to 1,000lbs have been caught, all of them released, while the tuna run to 200lbs and can take two hours to defeat on 50lb or 80lb tackle. A good variety of billfish is rounded off by WHITE MARLIN and SAILFISH. |

| PEAK SEASON | |||||||||
