Lazy summer days and a regular pattern emerge as we hit the mid-summer month of August. The water temperatures have nearly reached their warmest and the fishing pattern will continue to be stable until we turn the corner into autumn.
Diving this summer on Bimini has been absolutely outstanding. At the time of this writing the water temps were hovering around 84 degrees Fahrenheit and the wet suits have long since been stored away until probably November.
August is the perfect time for a dive adventure to any one of the Abaco cays and reefs. Water temperatures are in the low to mid 80’s, so for shallow dives leave the wet suit on shore.
The summer month of August is characterized by wonderfully warm weather, the daily one-hour thunderstorm and the even more amazingly warm weather right after the storm.
Now that we are definitely in the middle of the summer months, the fishing pattern is pretty much “carbon copy” each day. Best times are early morning to beat the heat.
July was a great catching month for big fish! Glass flat seas, calm mornings, overcast skies, low tides and tailing fish all over the place. One morning between 7:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on the Cherokee Flats, we had 11 hookups, and landed 7 to the boat—one eight pounds, two six pounds, and four four-pounders. August will be the same—warm waters and big bonefish.
August 1 starts our lobster season. Most Bahamians will be in the boat this month, but underwater looking for those elusive – highly prized lobster.
Should you be targeting blues, remember that big fish require big tackle, so 50’s, 80’s, and even 130’s are what you need to have on board.
You’ll find big fish on the Cherokee Flats. If using a fly rod a number 8-weight rod is best with a number 6 fly.
In July, the open water fish have all gone, with the exception of an occasional blue marlin.
