Parks & rules

Data rule: Islands, rocks, marinas and boat ramps come from OpenStreetMap. Marine parks come from the World Database on Protected Areas. Fishing spots are only placed on mapped islands and rocks, and never inside or next to a no-fishing area. BigJoe does not invent coordinates. The exact sources used on this map are listed under Map sources & checks below.

Fishing Hot Spots by island

Reefs and islands with good fishing water around them. Tap one to fly to it on the map.

Reefs, islands and offshore

Antigua is ringed by reefs and small islands, especially along the north and east coasts from Great Bird Island down to Green Island and Mill Reef. These hold snappers, groupers, jacks and barracuda, and the channels between the islands are good for bonefish and tarpon. Offshore, boats out of St. John's and English Harbour troll for wahoo, tuna, mahi-mahi and marlin. Barbuda is low and surrounded by shallow reefs and flats, and Montserrat drops off steeply into deep water close to shore.

Several reefs around Antigua and Barbuda are marine reserves closed to fishing. They show in red on the map.
