Fishing in Union Island Grenadines makes for perfect bone fishing !
At one time, St. Vincent and Bequia were the centers for a thriving whaling industry, but only six humpback whales were captured from 1982 to 1991. Since the New Kingston Fish Market opened in the late 1980s, the fish catch has rapidly increased. In 2000, the total catch amounted to 7,294 tons, up from 921 tons in 1996. However, fisheries exports declined from US$1,960,300 in 1990 to US$961,000 in 2000. Technical assistance and training to fisherman and fisheries staff is being sponsored by the Canadian Fisheries Development Project. In the temperate waters around Union Island, a variety of fish can be caught year-round. Sailfish, white and blue marlin, barracuda, jack, kingfish, bonito, and many others are in abundant.You can sail for either a full day or a half-day on many fishing boats. Excursions can be arranged through your hotel activity desk or directly with the captain of the boat of your choice. Fishing equipment are also available in stores.
