Target fish & season

GT/Bonefish/VariousTrevally

GT popping is possible year-round, but calm summer seas - when the topwater bite is good - are the prime time. Because the fish are wary, accurate casting and lure choice are required.

How to fish here

For GT The classic approach is popping/casting a diving pencil or popper across the surface; when fish are shy, jigging a heavy metal jig also works.

Details (access, climate, lodging & more)

Climate & what to wear source

A subtropical climate that's warm year-round. Spots are chosen based on trade winds and swell. Topwater fishing favors days when the sea surface isn't too rough.

If the sea gets rough source

When there's swell or strong wind, topwater fishing on the reef's outer edge gets difficult, so trips move to leeward spots or reschedule. Trips may be canceled in bad weather, so confirm in advance.
