Fishing

Cat Island's renowned fishing grounds attract sports fishermen from around the world. You can bonefish in the creeks using skiffs or the wading method, or deep-sea fish in 600-800 feet of water. Certified independent fishing guides like Nathaniel "Top Cat" Gilbert, can take you to all of the good fishing spots. Hawk's Nest Resort and Marina caters to anglers on a quest for a big-game catch and offers half-day and full-day crewed charters.
