When you visit this lovely island there is so much to offer than just the white sand beaches and the other popular activities. There are many other fun things to keep you occupied like exploring the waters and the caves.

There were some fashionable young men in the 18th century period on discovering the Jamaican waters claimed that they get high from the waters as they are intoxicating!

The Caribbean islands offer several types of fishing adventures because of the differences in the landscapes underwater. There are a number of fish, especially the bright ones that can be found in the coral reefs along the edges on some of the islands with volcanic activity; there are others that can be found in the shallow edges of the water.

Jamaica has some of the larger sport fish that have been enticing sportsmen who travel from all over the globe to capture them from the deeper waters. This island is well famous and popular for sport and deep sea fishing. There are fishing tournaments that take place during the fall in the September and October months.

This is host to two international fishing tournaments every year; you have the Blue Marlin and the Jamaica International Fishing Tournaments. These are special events that water lovers look forward to each year, so if this is of interest to you, by all means check out the dates.

The fishermen hook a number of large ones in these waters, including blue and white marlin, barracuda, mahi mahi, tarpon, wahoo, bonito and sailfish. It is very easy to try some fishing as there are charter boats that are available to take you on this adventure. There are a number of ways to get one of these boats and you can get all the information you need from the chartering services.

When you are on this seafaring expedition, you get to craft your own path and the islanders will be happy to guide you in the safe waters; you are guaranteed an experience of a lifetime.
