-	Whether you like deep-sea fishing, reef fishing, spear fishing or bone fishing, look no further than The Exuma Islands. The waters around The Exuma Islands are filled with record numbers of fish. Huge marlin, sailfish and wahoo are caught in the Exuma Sound, where the aqua-blue ocean drops 6,000 feet into the dark, cool feeding grounds of fish. Closer to Great Exuma Island are 60 square miles of crystal-clear flats where you can hunt for world-class bonefish, snapper, grouper and even lobster. The flats are abundant with large bonefish; even 10-pound fish are not uncommon. Fishing tournaments are frequent on The Exumas, but the July 4th Annual Bonefish Tournament at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club brings in competitors from all over the world. Bone fishing Bonefishing, a popular form of fly-fishing. Bonefishing takes place in the flats where guides slowly pole small flat-bottomed boats for anglers, or the truly dedicated quietly stalk these elusive fish by wading through knee-deep water. Exuma offers some of the worlds best bone-fishing. Deep sea fishing Deep-sea fishing takes place off the cays where the drop-off from the reef to the Atlantic is steep. This type of fishing involves trolling the deep waters with large fishing tackle (furnished) that’s baited for marlin or sailfish, tuna, mahimahi or mackerel. Fishermen can also hook billfish or bottom fish or reef fish. The best time for blue marlin, blue tuna and mahimahi is from April to July and for king mackerel, from January to April. It’s wahoo time between November and April, and white marlin are best caught from April to June. Sport fishing Fish Rowe Charters (Captain Doug) 242-345-0074 or 242-357-0870			242
