Reef Fishing Reef fishing, by the way, does not mean actually fishing on the reef. It means you won't go outside the reef line to where the continental shelf drops. If sea sickness is likely to be a problem for you, then reef fishing may be a better option than deep-sea fishing. Inside the reef line the waters are usually more protected and less turbulent. Fish you are likely to catch include Bermuda chub, gray and yellow tail snappers, barracuda, porgies, hinds, amberjack, bone-fish and assorted bottom fish.
Light tackle is used.
Expect to find blackfin and yellowfin tuna, wahoo, shark, barracuda and dolphin. On the whole, you will be encouraged to release the fish that are not good to eat. Of course, if you bring in a fish that is likely to break a record of some sort, the skipper will probably be understanding about it. If you want a fish mounted, most captains can help you arrange it through agents here or abroad. However, most mounted fish are artificial, their construction based on the estimated measurements of the fish you catch.
