Pacemaker Fishing Forum

My wife and I stayed in Treasure Cay Marina and Beach Resort, in Abaco, Bahamas during the first week of June.  My wife enjoyed walking in the beautiful sandy beach, shelling and island hopping.  But the beautiful sandy beach is not for surf fishing and beach snorkeling because there aren’t corals (shelters) for fish near shore. It looked Bahamas is a good place for big fish fishing on a boat.  Bottom line is that you need a boat to do some descent snorkeling/scuba diving and fishing.  It may not be good place for teenagers.  But it is a good place for toddlers and parents.
Fortunately the docks in the protected water hold fish.  I saw two 150lb plus Tarpon snapped the 80# test lines.  I saw many big tarpon and big barracuda along with many 1-3 lb grey snapper (mangrove snapper) while fishing under docks.
To me, every vacation is for my wife, especially since both boys left home.  I usually don’t make plans for my fishing.  But there were always time and places for fishing. So I became an opportunistic fisherman during the vacation.

I fish no matter what, by any means:
