Grand Cayman Fishing Charters Delivering Big Results

With calm seas and winds forecasted, this week is shaping up to be ideal for deep-sea and reef fishing. Enjoy the beautiful weather and book your Grand Cayman fishing charter today!

Fishing in Grand Cayman is in prime season, offering anglers prime opportunities both offshore and inshore. Whether you’re planning a thrilling day of Grand Cayman deep-sea fishing or a relaxing outing on the reefs, the island’s waters are alive with activity, making it an excellent time to book a Grand Cayman fishing charter.

Grand Cayman Deep Sea Fishing

The deep waters surrounding Grand Cayman are teeming with pelagic species, and last week has brought in some impressive catches. Wahoo, yellowfin tuna, blackfin tuna, and a few mahi-mahi are all biting well, particularly at the famed 12-Mile Bank.

• 12-Mile Bank Action

  The 12-Mile Bank, located just 45 minutes to an hour offshore, continues to be the go-to spot for serious anglers. This underwater plateau attracts schools of baitfish, drawing in big predators like wahoo and tuna. The cooler water temperatures approaching the new moon have the potential to increase the action.

  

• Charter Highlight: Book a trip aboard Reel Addiction with a seasoned captain like Clayton of Grandtime Watersports. With his expertise and fast, well-equipped boat, your chances of landing a trophy fish are better than ever.

Pro Tip: For the best results, plan a 6- or 8-hour charter to maximize your time at the “Bank” and ensure you cover as much productive water as possible.

Grand Cayman Reef Fishing

If you prefer staying closer to shore, Grand Cayman Reef fishing offers a fantastic experience for anglers of all skill levels.

• What’s Biting: Snapper, grouper, jacks, and barracuda are all active along the island’s vibrant reef system. The calmer seas typical of this time of year make anchoring easy and provide perfect conditions for bottom fishing.
• Seasonal Bonus: With lobster and conch season still open, you can add a bit of diving or snorkeling to gather these delicacies during your reef fishing trip.

  

• Charter Suggestion: For a family-friendly outing, Captain Omar of Morning Spirit Charters is an excellent choice. His reef fishing trips can include stops at popular spots like Stingray City Sandbar, Starfish Point, and nearby snorkeling sites for a well-rounded adventure.
