The fishing is a little slow at the moment, what with the high pressure front and those big old blue skies, but as a result, the bait fish are showing in numbers.
One of the best bait fish around is the ballyhoo, a killer for snook, kingfish and other hard-fighters, and they are currently to be found all around the island and in the bays.
Use a net or some small feathers to catch yourself enough for a day's session, but don't put too many in your bucket or bait-keeper, as they need a bit of space. A live bait is best!
