Planning to fish while chartering in the British Virgin Islands? Here are some handy tips:
– Many professional crews will have bait and tackle ready on board.
– If you need gear, try Richardson’s Rigging. Located opposite the ferry dock in Tortola, it has a wide selection of frozen baits.
– BVI Watertoys also offers fishing pole rentals.
– For budget bait, visit large grocery stores—great spots for squid and ballyhoo.
Need live bait? Try these tips:
– Anchor and use raw chicken or steak to catch small baitfish.
– Silversides and needlefish can be scooped up at night with lights.
If you prefer personal gear, bring your equipment. Airlines allow fishing poles. Check if your yacht offers fishing equipment and if you can BBQ your fresh catch.
Don’t forget local advice on avoiding Ciguatera Poisoning, and we’ll ensure your yacht has all fishing permits ready.
