Bahamas Fishing Catch of the Week

Believe it or not, for the week of May 7th our catch of the week turned out to be the shark pictured to the right. The common Lemon shark usually grow to a length of around seven feet but have been reported to exceed ten feet. This particular catch weighs in at between 60 and 70 pounds and has grown to roughly four feet in length.

Sharks are perhaps one of the most well-known aquatic species. Their image proliferates through the media as threatening and dangerous creatures that are perilous to humans. However, not all are harmful, and even some can be caught. For those considering catching this majestic fish, then it is best to consider fishing trips in Freeport Bahamas.

Among trophy fish, the Dorado has few rivals. This fish provides a stunning display when mounted on a wall. With a large, square head tapering towards a lithe scissor-shaped tail, this unique species will catch anyone's interest.

The Bahamas Marlin season starts roughly at about April and lasts well into the end of summer. Starting in April, you can find a decently sized population of White Marlin swimming through the waters outside of Grand Bahama, New Providence, and Paradise Island.

One of the most prized of trophies in sport fishing is the Bluefin Tuna. This species has many of the features that appeal to sport fishing enthusiasts, like size, strength, quality of fight, and rarity. It is getting harder to find and catch these fish as they are highly desired and have been over-fished by commercial operations for decades.
