Laid Back in Grand Cay, Abaco, Bahamas

For those of you that have heard of Walkers Cay over the years, much has changed since the hurricanes of 2004.

LADY ANGLER: Summertime Snook

This time of year provides some of the most exciting fishing opportunities our area has to offer. Snook and tarpon start showing up on the beach in the summertime. The tarpon are on an annual migration and the snook have a seasonal movement as part of their spawning habits. Typically, the snook travel out the inlets, fill their bellies with minnows along the beaches, procreate in or around the inlets, release their eggs, and do it all over again about every two or three weeks.Jul 4th, 2014
