Shore Fishing in Bermuda

Shore Fishing in Bermuda

Shore fishing in Bermuda does not require any kind of permit or license.

While Bonefish is at the shallow waters is a typical catch, barracuda, snapper and pompano are also caught by the anglers from Bermuda shores.

Although May to November is the best time for fishing in Bermuda, you can also catch Bonefish even in the winter time. They will usually be medium sized and weigh between 6 to 10 lbs.

Remember, bonefish usually hide in sheltered shallow waters. And they are strong pulling fish.

So which are the best places for shore fishing in Bermuda?

You should look for large expanses of shallow water area along the shore. In the western pat of the island, Great Sound, Little Sound, West Whale Bay and Spring Benny's Bay are typically very good for shore fishing in Bermuda.

Much of the south shore is good for fishing. Watch Hill Park is an anglers favorite.

There are great options for shore fishing at the eastern side of Bermuda as well. St. George's Harbor, Harrington Sound in Hamilton Parish have enclosed shallow areas and are excellent for shore fishing.
