I used a 360 camera. They are fun but take a little extra time reframing the shots. As long as you have the camera centered w the pole, the pole will be hidden in the stitch line. There are many long poles out there but I like the #270 Pro. The carbon fiber is top notch and no flex which is important for keeping the pole hidden. 🙌🏼. Should be some links in the description. 👍🏼🎉🎥

We’ve never given pre-notice but probably worth a call just to be sure. Super easy process. Just pull in and someone will show up on a golf cart to take your info and money. Stick to the launches to the north but watch out for getting too close to the mangroves as there are definitely rocks over there. Good luck let us know if you have any other questions.

It depends on what you mean by uninterrupted sun. In my opinion, April-June are the best times to go. While you do get afternoon storms late in the day as you get into the summer months, they are typically short, but strong downpours and then things clear right back up. We just booked a trip for this year where we’ll cross to Bimini, then head to Great Harbour Cay and we are doing that the first week of May.

Opinion on how a sea fox 228 would do on this trip?
@FrigateChaserFishing
@FrigateChaserFishing 3 жыл бұрын
All depends on the weather. We’ve heard of some pretty small bits and even wave runners making the trip. Biggest piece of advice though is he sure and check the weather for when you plan to come back as well. Otherwise you risk getting stuck over there until the weather improves.

If youre going by boat, will you be ok with just a passport card like for cruises?
@FrigateChaserFishing
@FrigateChaserFishing 2 жыл бұрын
Hey there, if you are going by boat, you will need to get a Bahamas health visa and fill out all of the customs and immigration paper work prior to going. Both are online and easy to do. We just got back from Bimini and the Berry Islands this weekend and it was super simple. Good luck!

You mean the rod holder itself? We just through bolted a good quality 3-rod surface mount rod holder to the transom door. Works great and kept us from having to bolt or screw anything into the fiberglass transom.

You’re not allowed to fish while traveling to and from Bahamas. That whole trolling thing you do on the way back is prohibited. All rods and fishing gear need to be stowed away. (Not that anyone follows this but just letting you know)

I'm not going back to Bimini until it returns back to normal. I'm not getting any vaccine. A lot of South Florida boaters feel the same. Bahamas will lose the weekend crowd revenue from us. We just go hang out in the Keys and not deal with Covid bs.
