Grand Cayman Fishing Report, Time to Reef Fish! Similar to last week, the weather has not been good for Grand Cayman fishing this week. High winds and rough seas have rendered deep-sea fishing difficult. The Christmas winds look to stay strong for at least The first part of this week, If you want to fish, reef or tarpon fishing is your best bet.
Saturday and early Sunday morning deliver a break for anglers. For example, a few nice catches were reported. One angler reported a nice Wahoo (about 25 lbs) and Mahi (dolphin) from Grand Cayman Twelve Mile Bank. Sue from @Keepin_on345 posted a great photo of Waha 40 lb Wahoo Sunday morning. Great fish!
With the windy weather and rough seas, consider Grand Cayman reef fishing to Grand Cayman tarpon fishing. Both stay close to shore and are loads of fun and excitement.
Reef fishing can be loads of fun. In general, angers catch more fish when reef fishing. Although reef species are smaller than the pelagic species targeted when deep-sea fishing, the action is greater. Enhanced, because you will use lighter fishing gear, reef species like Snapper, Grouper, Jacks, Triggers, and Turbot can give a good fight. All charters on fishcaymanislands.com love to reef fish and are experts at it. December is open season for Conch and Grand Cayman Lobster. Your captain is happy to stop for either during your reef fishing trip. In addition, consider adding a stop at Stingray City Sandbar or one of the beautiful coral reefs inside Grand Cayman’s North Sound to snorkel.

Despite the windy weather that makes deep-sea fishing a poor choice, consider Tarpon Fishing. Tarpon fishing Grand Cayman style is done inside the harbors and canals and packs a BIG thrill. The “Silver Kings” are large (some are 80 lbs or more!) and make powerful runs and thrashing jumps to try to shake the hook. Grand Cayman Tarpon are pretty easy to hook but difficult to land! They fight hard and make long runs. Patience is the key.
