Bonefishing.
Weighing up to ten pounds, the slender, silvery and surprisingly elusive bonefish makes an incredible fighting fish. Excellent bonefishing can be had in the BVI, especially on the reef-ringed island of Anegada. The fishing community on this isolated island is reminiscent of Hemingway’s Bimini in the 1930s." See BVI on the Fly"
Other BVI locations are not so vast as Anegada's miles of reef. The North Sound has locations such as Colquhoun Reef and Eustatia Reef just off Virgin Gorda. A small but accessible spot is west of the Beef Island bridge in its channel.
Flyfishing.
As well as bonefishing, saltwater flyfishing is popular for permit and tarpon also. Increasingly popular is flyfishing from sea kayaks.
Anegada is at the windward edge of an undersea plateau that supports the islands.
The North Drop area, just north of Anegada and Horseshoe Reef, goes from 30 fathoms to over 200 (1200 feet). Huge schools like squid and flying fish congregate into dense "clouds" in and above the numerous canyons in this area to feed on the upwelling currents and, in turn, become baitfish for the ocean roaming predators, such as yellowfin and blackfin tuna, wahoo, dolphin or dorado and the most popular gamefish in the world - the blue marlin.
Deep sea fishing
Deep sea fishing can be arranged from Anegada Reef Hotel, and other various places throughout the BVI.
