Fishing is an incredibly popular activity in Cayman, with most participants going after Tarpon, Permit, Wahoo, Tuna, Blue Marlin and Bonefish. Tourists can try out deep sea, bottom, in-shore, bone and reef fishing at many sites; Little Cayman, in particular, offers Tarpon Lake, as well as great opportunities for in-shore fishing. The best time of day is typically early morning, shortly after sunrise. While both visitors and locals are permitted to fish from boats in deep water, non-Caymanians must have a license to fish from the shore if they intend to keep their catch. The Cayman Islands Angling Club hosts 5 fishing tournaments per year, including the International Fishing Tournament, which is well-loved and takes place in April or May. If you'd like to experience it for yourself, book a fishing trip with one of the following charter companies.
