Usually go to the Bahamas in March and do some fishing. Been going there for 20 years started doing deep sea fishing, the current price for a four hour deep sea fishing is 400 bucks for four hours, but the fishing sucks and tired of paying that kind of money.

Started going bottom fishing there four years ago for yellow tail, grouper etc: and the price is right, last year he went up on his price from 50 bucks to 60 for four hrs., normally will catch 30 fish. He takes four people max, was going about every other day while I was there.

In January usaully go to Marathon for a week, hop on a half day fishing trip or fish from shore around the seven mile bridge. You want to have a 5 gal. bucket and a battery powered air pump cost about 20 bucks, buy some live pilchers and shrimp especially if you go on the boat trip.

Ya, the Bahamas can be a tough place to go if you don't know somebody.

The Seven Mile bridge down the Keys can be very rewarding if you put in the time.
Big Tarpon and Goliath Grouper (if you can land one)

I had my "hey day" down there during the late 80's.
I kicked butt while fishing a Bonefish tournament there in '87.
