Species & Seasons
Methods
Amazulu Lodge offers deep-sea fishing excursions year-round, with distinct seasonal opportunities. The summer months, from roughly December to February, are prime time for pelagic species. This is when you'll find Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado, and Wahoo actively feeding along the St. Lucia coastline. The fishing is generally more consistent during this period, with warmer waters attracting a wider variety of game fish. As the seasons shift into winter, typically from June to August, the focus changes to species like Queen Mackerel and Tuna, though Cuda can still be found. The techniques also adapt, with live bait fishing being particularly effective for species like Cuta and Snoek, while larger live baits are deployed for Marlin and Sailfish. Trolling with lures is a reliable method for Dorado, Sailfish, and Marlin, and in winter, it's particularly effective for Queen Mackerel. For those seeking a lighter tackle challenge, 'Flick Sticking' is a popular and fun method when Queen Mackerel are abundant.
