Gus is a seasoned angler from Toronto who recently moved to Grand Cayman and was eager to catch the big game species that swim in the local waters. Despite his intermediate fishing skills, Gus quickly realized that deep-sea fishing for pelagic species like wahoo, yellowfin tuna, marlin, and dolphin differed significantly from fishing in lakes and streams near his home. After spending lots of money on new gear, fuel, bait, ice, and electronics, Gus became frustrated that he was not catching fish.
This April, when Gus’s family and friends visited from Europe and expressed their desire to catch some of the big game fish in the beautiful waters of Grand Cayman, he decided to turn to Fishcaymanislands for help finding an experienced Grand Cayman Fishing Guide. Gus enlisted the services of Roshad, one of the talented and seasoned guides recommended by Fishcaymanislands.
Before the trip, Roshad worked closely with Gus to ensure the boat was equipped. Roshad then picked the time of day, the fishing grounds, and techniques that would maximize the chances of a successful day of fishing. Accompanied by his daughter and two friends, Gus set out with Roshad to Grand Cayman’s 12-Mile Bank.
Under Roshad’s expert guidance, Gus’s guest hooked up on a nice-sized Wahoo. Roshad coached Gus’s friend on reeling in the fish while expertly handling the details of getting the fish into the boat. Soon after, Gus’s other friend hooked up on another Wahoo, and with Roshad’s help, another prized catch was in the fish box. “Ya, we got a couple of nice wahoo, said Roshad. Everyone had a great day. Before the wahoo, we had something big cut us off. The reels screamed. Sounded like a marlin.”
Reflecting on the trip, Gus couldn’t have been more pleased. “It was magic,” he said. “With Roshad’s guidance on techniques, equipment, and bait, my two guests fulfilled their dreams, each reeling in a magnificent wahoo to create memories that will last a lifetime! We had two great fish aboard, and there were smiles on all of our faces. Roshad made all the difference,” beamed Gus. “I always joked that I never catch fish, but not only did we catch fish and create memories that will last a lifetime, but I also learned so much from Roshad. He has so much knowledge and experience and such a love for fishing. He is a great teacher too. I will be sure to work with Roshad to plan my next fishing trip.”
Overall, Gus’s experience with Fishcaymanislands and Roshad exemplifies the value of having a seasoned guide on board to ensure a successful and enjoyable day of fishing.
Whether you are an experienced angler or a novice, Fishcaymanislands can match you with the right guide or mate to meet your needs and provide an unforgettable fishing experience in the beautiful waters of Grand Cayman.
