bahamas
last week I did a spearfishing trip to Grand Bahama (West End and Freeport.), we also did plenty of rod and reel. It was actually quite cold down there (high of 69 during day, 55 at night), and the wind was cranking. but other than the conditions, the trip was epic. I can't say enough about the life swimming around down there. we had big groupers, snappers, hogs, wahoo on the rods and pole spears, African pompanos, muttons, cero, too much to list. other than a few local fishermen and some large sportfishers out there wahoo'ing, we hardly saw another boat in 7 days. not to mention lobsters galore and a bunch of stone crabs hand plucked off the flats. the next time you are planning a south florida long weekend, give Freeport or West End a whirl instead. flights are easy from Newark. even for the dry tortugas guys.. I know that can be special but there is nothing better than the Bahamas for size and quantity of fish. we only 1 fish lost to sharks in 7 days .. compare that to the 'tugas..
