Head out with Captain Shawn for a laid-back--but productive--deepsea fishing experience aboard his 30 foot Sailfish. For these trips Captain Shawn will show you just how productive deepwater trolling these Caribean waters can be! Trolling trips are great because the boat and the knowledge of your captain do the "boring" part for you. You get to sit back, relax, and enjoy the sweet sea breeze with good company while you wait for the reel to start screaming! These trips can be extremely productive as well. If you get into a pod of Wahoo, Tuna, or Mahi, Captain Shawn will just keep circling back to catch more and more, until you've caught your limit or your arms get too tired. Though Wahoo, Tuna, and Mahi Mahi are some of the most frequent fish you'll see in these waters, there are plenty more species the deep can offer up! Captain Shawn will provide all the fishing gear for you including rods, reels, tackle, and artificial baits. Some of Shawn's clients prefer to troll with live bait, which he will gladly purchase for you ahead of time. For these deepsea trips, live bait usually costs between 200-300 dollars, so let us know if you'd like to add that on as well. Captain Shawn will gladly pick you up from anywhere on Spanish Wells, and will pick up in Eleuthera sometimes as well, but if you are staying in Harbour Island, he asks that you please ferry back over to Eleuthera where he can pick you up from the dock!

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.
