USVI-On-Line

One thing we never did while vacationing on STJ is fishing. The guys often talk about going out on a charter boat but no one ever investigated the options.

Anyone have info. on fishing charters? It would be 3 guys, maybe 4 if Little PA goes along.

The one boat's site I quickly looked at stated that any fish caught belongs to the captain. Is that typical? The guys in my group would want me to cook their catch for dinner.[/quote]

My husband went out with Bite Me Charters. He was guest of someone else so I don't know the cost, but he said the Capt. was great and they all had a great time:

My husband remembers one guy catching a Mahi-Mahi and he only wanted a piece of it for dinner that night. The Capt. fileted him a piece and then he kept the rest.

A while back my husband and a friend went out with Mixed Bag. They caught a shark!! That was accidental and they let it go. I know they caught some marlin and released as well. Think they caught a bunch more but the captain kept it since we were at the Westin that trip. They had fun, except for my hubby "feeding the fishes" for most of the day- not sure he's the deep sea type. But he still said it was a great charter.

Send me a PM if you would like my help booking.

20 pounds would be more than enough, probably too much!

We went out with World Class Angler back in January. I think the captain was Chris. He was awsome. We had a great dinner of tuna on the grill that night.

I use Double Header a;ways have a great time
