Fishing Reports

When tired of fishing for Tuna and Dolphin Sergio goes Deep Dropping for that perfect Snapper filet.

This 6# Yellow Eye travelled 1200′ off the Walls Edge at the Cape to flop into the dinner frying pan.

Eating different fresh fish is a way of life at the Cape, but you got to be here to enjoy it! No Where else in the Bahamas can you fish for so many different varieties of fish within a mile from the marina entry. that is due to the Cape’s unique location, on the leeward side of the Island on a leeward side of a peninsula where one side has the shallow conch grounds of Rock Sound that flow into the deep water Exuma Sound where the Pelagics roam.

Try a little deep dropping next time you stop by our Paradise!  Sergio has decided to join the waiting list for new managers at the Cape. We figure by the time retires we will have an opening for an old salt just like him. If nothing else he can tell us his fish stories from his year’s of fishing the Cape on vacation from Miami.

Two weeks of fishing off the Cape and Vicki produces a 30# Bull and a 20# Cow Dolphin aboard the family Vessel Victorious.  Vicki and Sergio were greeted by new guest arrivals at the dock while the arriving children were thrilled to watch the fish cleaning and related 12 nurse sharks that like to feed from the Fisherman’s table. Needless to say, fresh dolphin was shared at the Bahama Coffee Company compliments of Vicki and Sergio!

Guest Zach Timmons caught this record Lion Fish off the reefs near Cape Eleuthera.

The fish was an amazing 17.25″ long and is believed to be a record for Eleuthera the Bahamas.

Scientists at the Cape Eleuthera Institute commented after viewing the fish that they have only seen Lion fish this large while 600′ deep off the Cape’s wall in a sub.

Several professional local spearfisherman offer spear fishing as an alternative to hook line fishing at the Cape for instructional and competition spear fishing. Including our Dive Instructor and Activities Director  Neal Watson Jr. Contact the resort for more information to gain the thrill of free diving your next fresh catch!
