#Catch of the Day – 7 ‘Reel-y’ Great Places to Go Sea Fishing

#3 Nova Scotia, Canada

It might be chillier than heading to Mexico so why would you fish here? Because the biggest world-record bluefin tuna was caught here in 1979, weighing a colossal 1,496 pounds! If size matters to you, you’ve got more chance catching a whopper in these waters, with fish regularly exceeding 1000 pounds and averaging around 800. The fishing takes place near to port and most boats come with fighting chairs unless you prefer to encounter a stand-up battle! There is a catch and release policy in operation on these waters and the season runs from August through October.

#4 Bermuda

There has got to be something special about a place that can boast winning the one-day World Cup Blue Marlin Championship eight times. Two of the biggest fish ever caught in that competition, which has been running for nearly 30 years, were caught in Bermuda. It’s not just blue marlin that’s fished here, other species include white marlin, tuna and wahoo. The best time for big ones is June through August. Of course, you’ll also get to enjoy the fabulous beaches, diving, snorkeling and 5-star resorts as well!
