Salt Cay Fishing
Fishing on Salt Cay is one of its popular activities, especially deep-sea fishing for game fish. Common species are yellowfin tuna and the mahi-mahi (dolphinfish).
There are two local companies that offer fishing excursions based in Salt Cay, and additional fishing companies are on the nearby capital island of Grand Turk.
Most trips are half- or full-day trips. One of Salt Cay’s many restaurants (if you wish) can prepare your catch for dinner.
Bonefishing
The shallow waters in the channel at South Creek are suitable for fly fishing and are the only real decent spot on the island for fishing without a boat.
Fishing Licenses
Whether you’re fishing alone or on an organized trip, you’ll most likely require a fishing license (see Turks and Caicos Fishing Licenses for more information). This is normally arranged by your charter company, but ensure that you and your group are in possession of any required licenses before angling. Visitors can purchase licenses for one day ($10) or 30 days ($30).
