Bahamas Fishing Calendar
November
November is the beginning of the Bahamas wahoo fishing season, dolphin are still around and shots at billfish are definitely possible. Billfish include white and blue marlin as well as sailfish. Often times, we get the most numbers of Wahoo in the later part of November.
December
December is getting into peak wahoo season, and as usual dolphin are always around. This is probably the last likely chance at a marlin in the Bahamas, until spring time. The weather is typically still reasonably settled, making this a good bet for Family Trips before the winter cold fronts set in.
January
Wahoo, Wahoo, Wahoo! By now the wahoo are starting to get rather large. Shots at sailfish in the winter are not out of the question. Wahoo fishing in the Bahamas is now peaking!
February
Wahoo still going strong, but yellowfin and dolphin are becoming more prevalent. This is your best shot at catching a really large wahoo in the Bahamas.
March
The main wahoo bite comes to an end while dolphin and tuna bites, as well as shots at billfish start to dominate. Early March is still a great time to come chase after world class Wahoo.
April
April is traditionally the beginning of the yellowfin tuna bite. Still good chances for wahoo bites, and billfish are starting to show up more regularly. April is a great all round time to charter a boat in the Bahamas. Probably one of the best months for ACTION!
May
May is the most popular time for Bahamas Fishing. The Yellowfin going strong and the dolphin bite peaks. Blue and white marlin are now around in good numbers. If you are looking to go Blue Marlin fishing in the Bahamas late May is an ideal time to visit.
June
Blue marlin bite in full swing with multiple shots likely, yellowfin still around in good numbers, while the dolphin bite will begin to cool off. Probably one of the best times of year for all around good weather, good fishing, variety and plenty of action. A great time for a Bahamas Family Boating Vacation
July
Fishing between the Full and the New Moons the end of June into the middle of July should produce the best blue marlin fishing of the year. Yellowfin are still around and dolphin should continue to be available, although not as much as in May or June. Probably the best bet for your family vacation.
August
Once again, as the moon rolls around, August will provide another excellent chance to target Blue Marlin in the Southern Bahamas, and the bottom fishing on the reef is excellent. Lobster season opens August, 1 every year too!
