Grand Cayman Fishing Report – December 30, 2024
Calm Seas and Prime Fishing Conditions Ahead
After weeks of strong winds and rough seas, the weather in Grand Cayman has cleared, setting the stage for some of the best fishing opportunities this season. Whether you’re an experienced angler or new to the sport, now is the perfect time to take advantage of the improved conditions with a Grand Cayman fishing charter.
Grand Cayman Deep Sea
Cooling waters and calmer seas have created ideal conditions for deep-sea fishing. Pelagic species like wahoo, mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna, and blackfin tuna are active, making the deep blue waters off Grand Cayman a hotspot for anglers. Many anglers reported nice wahoo catches this week. Grand Cayman’s 12-Mile Bank has been a hot spot for Yellowfin Tuna. Chunking and drifting is the most productive technique. Captain Omar filled his fish bag with booth tuna and wahoo!
- Top Destination: The Grand Cayman’s renowned 12-Mile Bank is prime for landing trophy fish. A short 45-minute to one-hour run, this area consistently produces big-game catches that will challenge even seasoned anglers.
- Charter Recommendation: For a thrilling deep-sea adventure, book with Captain Clayton of Grandtime Watersports aboard Reel Addiction. With his expertise and well-equipped vessel, you’re in for a memorable day on the water. Reeladdiciton is 1 34′ Venture with twin Suzukis. You can be at “The Bank” making withdrawals in just 45 minutes from the Grand Cayman docks!
Grand Cayman Reef Fishing
The calm waters also make it a great time for reef and bottom fishing. Snapper, grouper, and jacks are biting aggressively after weeks of reduced pressure. With lobster and conch season in full swing, you can add some delicious seafood to your catch.
