Target Species:
While Tarpon fishing is the main attraction, offshore trips trolling for pelagic species like King Mackerel, Dorado and Wahoo is also possible. Inshore by-catch includes Jack Crevalle, Snapper and Grouper. Strict catch-and-release is practiced when fishing for Tarpon to ensure the sustainability of this amazing fishery.
Environment:
With a climate more tropical than the Caribbean, green hills, white beaches and clear waters, these islands are ripe for exploration. Located at the southernmost tip of the Caribbean, this twin island state not only differs from the rest of the Caribbean, but each of the islands also differs from each other. This makes for a diverse and engaging destination. Both Trinidad and Tobago boast a climate that’s even more tropical than the Caribbean. Temperatures range from 22-33C, with only two seasons: wet and dry. Plus, given that thousands of years ago it was attached to South America, it will come as no surprise that climate-wise these two beautiful islands have a lot in common with countries like Brazil and Argentina.
