All deep sea fishing or charter fishing is beach launch which undoubtedly makes for some adrenaline and excitement. Deep Sea Fish Species vary according to the season, summer being the most favorable.

All Deep Sea Game Fishing departs from the local St Lucia beach designated for boat launches only as the sun rises. Please note that fishing permits are required prior to launch for each angler.

Live bait fishing is in particular very popular of the St Lucia coast, smaller bait fish are used for the likes of Cuta, Snoek (Queen Mackerel). While larger live baits such as bonito is used for Marlin and Sailfish.

Trolling with lures offers good results for Dorado, Sailfish and Marlin.

Trolling with bait strips is particularly good for catching Queen Mackerel in the winter months.

Flick Sticking is incredibly fun especially when the Queen Mackerel are biting as light fishing tackle is used.

Big Game Fishing (marlin & sailfish) larger lures are used if no live bait is available. Trolling with lures for big game fish also offers us to fish in larger areas.
