St. Croix and the US Virgin Islands are a hidden fishing gem with over 21 IGFA world records set to in the territories waters. While most known for its world-class Offshore Fishing due to the deep water currents that run close to shore, St. Croix’s unique geological formation created miles of coral reefs, flats, and lagoons which make for an exciting inshore fishery! St. Croix’s inshore waters are home to over 50 predatory species, including the BIG 4 (Tarpon/Snook/Bonefish/Permit) meaning you never know what might strike when you cast a line on one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful islands!

Saltwater fishing is typically defined as either Inshore or Offshore with the name explaining where the fishing takes place. Offshore fishing revolves around bigger boats fishing in several hundred feet of water using trolling and occasionally live baiting as the primary method of catching fish like Tuna, Mahi, Wahoo, and Billfish. Inshore fishing conversely revolves around fishing the shallow waters surrounding the island. This results in a more hands on fishing style where we are looking for feeding fish along Grass Flats, Beaches, Coral Reefs, Mangroves, and Rocky Points. Through leveraging a wide array of lures and baits, many compare it to Bass fishing, although the strength and speed of saltwater fish is on a completely higher level which makes for exciting action!
