Fishing can be good here at Grenada after the spawn. Late May and early June can be an excellent time. We catch numbers of fish by power trolling. We use a 1-ounce sinker and Bobby Garland Baits. Last year we caught a ton of fish. They left the banks and were suspended. The power trolling lets a fisherman cover a lot of water with the baits in the strike zone.
We catch the same fish in the summer but they weigh less than during the spawn. A two pounder will probably weigh 1.60 to 1.70 pounds. We caught an 18 inch fish last summer and it weighed 2.64 pounds. I’ve never caught a three pounder in the summer and only a very few in the fall. However, the fishing can be great with good numbers of quality fish.
