Going after game fish in the waters off Bermuda is a sport few
fishermen can pass up. The beautiful Atlantic Ocean is home to many
species including Grouper, Rockfish, Snapper, Tuna, Dolphin fish
and more. Charter boats make daily full or half-day trips to the
banks where fishermen can indulge themselves in trying to hook the
big ones in the Wahoo and Tuna family. The Bermuda Triple
Crown event held in July lures fisherman from all over; in fact the
World Cup is part of the event and is a world-wide fishing
tournament.
Fishing in Bermuda does not always require going out into the
deep. There are many fishing spots that are popular to local
fishermen on the docks in Hamilton Harbour, or on the North Shore,
where it is possible to throw your line over and catch mostly
medium sized fish. Local fishing buffs know exactly where to "chum"
the waters for a good catch, and the locations are within close
proximity to most hotels and guesthouses. Fly Fishing for Bonefish
is a great way to spend the morning, afternoon or all day in the
beautiful shallow, turquoise waters of Bermuda's south shore. Bones
can be caught every month of the year. Even when the water is a
chilly 63 degrees, a bit of sun and the Bones come back to the
shallows.
