We’ve officially turned the corner into the fall season here in the US Virgin islands and the Wahoo run is in full swing. A strong, early showing of hoo’s to the south of St. Thomas was the focal point of our offshore charters in October. We expect a larger class of fish to show as…
We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable end to the summer season! Here in the USVI we were blessed to experience no major tropical weather events during the height of our hurricane season. The August Blue Marlin bite from mid – July through August was average for us compared to the past two seasons.…
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 late afternoon hours, the key being to escape the midday heat. Offshore is getting more consistent as we get later…
Plenty of fishing excitement here in the US Virgin Islands! The USVI tournament circuit is underway and late spring marks the convergence of Mahi-Mahi and Billfish season. Capt. Alvin and crew are off to a great start – earning the Best Boat Award and the Calcutta winners in the 2014 Virgin Island’s Game Fishing Club’s…
The spring Mahi-Mahi run is officially underway. Schools of Mahi are showing up in solid numbers to the south of the island, migrating between St. Thomas and St. Croix. Even a few out of season Wahoo are mixed in, mostly in the 20-30lb class, adding the excitement of a multi-species offshore day. The Yellowfin bite…
We have a case of Yellowfin fever here in the U.S. Virgin Islands! Offshore trips in January and February did not disappoint, with the highly anticipated arrival of Yellowfin Tunas after last year’s failed showing. The schools were a consistent 20-50lb class, with an occasional 60-80 pounder in the mix. Live-bait was crucial to enticing…
The hot Wahoo bite we saw in November slowed down a bit. We were picking up just one or two Wahoo on the day offshore entering into mid-December and the beginnings of Mahi season still a couple months away. Or so we thought! A 6-Hour Offshore trip on the afternoon of the 12th is when…
Greetings from the beautiful island of St. Thomas! Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday! The November Wahoo fishing here in the VI has been fast and furious, especially in the latter half of the month. A big cold front combined with snotty weather moved through in the beginning of the month and…
Despite being the shoulder season on the island, the fishing didn’t miss a beat. Both inshore and offshore, the fish got a little picky, so different tactics and strategies were key to keeping lines tight and fish hitting the deck. Deep-dropping trips along the South drop featured consistent action for Red Snapper, and a couple…

Alvin’s 5th time winning the local tournament since 2000, over 50 boats participated this year. Big congratulations to Mathew Laban for catching the largest Kingfish of…
