What are the fishing options on Isla?
| TOP | A: You can do bay fishing for 4 hours or deep sea fishing for a full day. You can go inshore fishing for 4 hours for about $200usd or 8 hours off shore fishing for as little was $400usd to as much as $2,000usd depending on the size of the boat. When fishing in-shore, on the bay, you will catch mostly barracuda and a few other species (yellow tail, etc). Barracuda can range in the bay from a few pounds to 50 plus pounds and can give you a heck of a fight. Many people do not eat barracuda because of the possibility of being poisoned, especially by the larger ones, but they do put on a good fight. Off shore usually requires about a 20 mile ride out to various spots the fishing includes Dolphin (no, not flipper Mahi Mahi), Bonita, King Macrel, Sail Fish, Marlin, Shark, Jack fish and many other types. The fishing is generally good from January through the end of June off shore. Many restaurants will cook your fresh catch for a small fee or tip in town.
