St. Croix Sport Fishing Charters
If fishing is your favorite sport then there is no place like St. Croix to enjoy it. St. Croix is famous for its fishing with opportunity to catch some fantastic mahi-mahi, wahoo, marlin, yellowfish tuna and much more. Most boats come with the entire fishing gear including fishing rods, and tackle along with an experienced crew. You can choose to fish or have a relaxed day sitting about watching others fish. Trips also include food and drinks, making it a great day of fun and adventure in the sea.
Fishing trips can be hired for full day, which is about 8 hours, ideal if you want a big catch or half day, which makes around 4 hours. Boats are generally available with seating for six guests and may not include lunch facility, however for some extra fees, lunch may also be arranged. Inshore and light tackle fishing trips are also available in case you are interested in snook, permit or tarpon. However, such trips may not accommodate more than 4 guests at a time.

A full day fishing charter costs about $700-800 and a half day trip costs between $450 and $500. Trips generally cost $100 per person for an hour. Most of the fishing is organized around Lang Bank, around 10 miles off St. Croix. You can catch your prize, where fish are tempted not only by your bait, but also the ocean currents and cool waters of Lang Bank.
You can also indulge in some fishing competitions, if you happen to be in St. Croix around that time. You may even take an exclusive trip for the local tournaments organized for pros as well as novices, who would like to try their luck at winning something. It is best to fish along the shoreline, rather than in the deep waters.
If you have no knowledge of fishing, a crew experienced in fishing will assist you in your little adventure. From arranging the bait to suggesting the best location for a catch, a crew has complete knowledge about fishing in St. Croix. They would also let you know which fish are easier to catch, for instance, marlin is a difficult catch and must be left to the pros. If you are new to fishing it is best to start with inshore fishing.
Inshore fishing is treated as more of an entertainment than professional fishing and ideal for inexperienced guests of the island. You can hope to catch bonefish, tarpon, mackerel and barracuda among others. Locals would tell you the best times to get a catch, for instance, snook are night eaters, and you have a better chance at catching them in the evening. Most tournaments are held in inshore fishing, a great way to enjoy with family and kids. These tournaments are held throughout the year at different locations on the island, depending on the season.
Get your own fishing gear or hire some from the locals, get on a boat, and you are on your way to having the greatest time of your life. Try breaking some records or make some of your own. You can even have a competition of your own with your family, and see who gets the best catch!
