Light tackle fishing in Turks and Caicos offers an exciting, accessible way for families to experience the thrill of catching fish without heavy-duty equipment. Using lighter rods and smaller reels, this technique targets species like snapper, grouper, and triggerfish that populate our vibrant reefs.
"Light tackle fishing is ideal for families because it's hands-on and engaging for everyone, including kids," says Captain Edward Missick of Catch the Wave Charters. "The equipment is easier to handle, making it perfect for beginners while still offering plenty of excitement when you hook a fish."

Located just 30-40 minutes from the dock, our prime fishing spots combine scenic views with abundant marine life. The shorter travel time and closer proximity to shore make this perfect for families with younger children or those new to fishing.
The experience often culminates in a beachside feast. "There's nothing quite like grilling your catch right on the beach," Captain Missick adds. "It's a full-circle experience that teaches kids about where their food comes from while creating lasting memories."
