fishing in the south way south

Going on a cruise leaving tomorrow, any ideas on lures and presentations would be great bringing an ultralight for screwing around in the marinas and shorelines. Probabaly gonna go on a few charters too. Report to follow cya in a few weeks!

You'd better have some kick ass line and a long landing net... all I can say !

 

..seriously..what islands are you hitting?

Will you have time on a Cruise? Forget ultralight...they will bend out normal Rapella hooks. Silver lures work, you will need a leader, and burn your lures. Poppers also work.

Belize cancun, than staying in the bahamas (paradise island) for a few days, packed an assortment of lures poppers as mentioned some jigs rattletraps and ol' standby hook and sinkers. Found a real cool new shimano rod at action angling 7'0 five piece i could pack it in a carry on bag its so small cuz i dont think the 5' ugly stick was gonna cut it.

 

Does anyone know if i need a licence?

My suggestion would be large poppers and musky size jerk baits .

Some islands you need a licence.. some don't have a requirement. Should be able to do a quick search for each port of calls goverment site and it will tell you generally. Cancun I did a charter (you need a licence there)... 17 years ago... caught lots including a 6 foot sand shark. Haven't done the bahamas... did a deep sea charter in St. Martin with nothing but an empty beer cooler to show for the day...same deal in St. Lucia.
