Fishing Bimini, Bahamas
Bimini, Bahamas
IGFA record catches for White Marlin, Mako Shark and Whaler Shark were recorded off Bimini. At right, Ernest Hemmingway refined the sport of Giant Bluefin fishing recording the first unmutilated Bluefin caught in Bimini.
"Bimini is one of the islands of the Bahamas, and is actually two small islands, North Bimini and South Bimini, which are separated by a narrow channel. Only 9 miles long and 1 mile wide, this tiny island has earned a great name for itself as the "Game Fishing Capital of the World". Bimini is located just 50 miles east of Florida, a short 25 minute plane ride away. Bimini Island has a colorful and interesting history.
Fishing is an integral part of life on Bimini, which maintains its own Hall of Fame. You can book a fishing captain to help you make your catch. Many of the local restaurants will gladly cook up the fish you've caught." Extract in quotes taken from BiminiFishing.com
