Greetings from beautiful St. Thomas! We’ve had a great finish to the 2016 summer season here in the U.S. Virgin Islands with some fantastic trips to report on. September is our shortest month of the fishing season as we take our 37′ Calypso, Emanuel, out of the water for its annual maintenance period. We will…
Another exciting year fishing the annual Northside Sportfishing Club’s annual Bastille Day Kingfish tournament! Many thanks to the tournament committee and staff for the memorable tournament experience on and off the water. In a field of 62 boats, the Capt. Alvin Fishing Charters crew took home top accolades aboard M/V Emanuel, earning both 1st place…
The travel season here in the US Virgin Islands may be slowing down, but the summer bite is just starting to heat up! So far the inshore fishing has been best in the morning and mid-late afternoon hours, the key being to escape the midday heat. The offshore bite has been stellar all summer, due…
Greetings from beautiful St. Thomas and happy first day of summer! It has been an absolutely stellar start to the 2016 summer season here in the USVI and the bite is as good as it’s been in the past 5 years. It’s a good thing we only use top-quality, Shimano and Penn tackle because the…

January and February typically feature some of the best offshore fishing here is in the USVI. The convergence of two seasons offers anglers the best shot at an offshore trifecta – late season Wahoo and spring Mahi-Mahi and Yellowfin Tunas beginning their migration to the north and south of the island. The Wahoo bite in…
The Christmas trade winds definitely made their presence known this month! Sustained 15-25kt E/SE winds resulted in unsettled conditions offshore right through the end of the holiday season. The few offshore trips we could squeeze in the small windows of calmer weather were successful however. A strong, early showing of Mahi-Mahi to the south of…

The fall Wahoo fishing here in the Virgin Islands has been fast and furious thus far, especially in the latter half of October along the South Drop. Extended periods of calm weather and…
