World class blue marlin and other deep-sea fishing flourishes just minutes from Oil Nut Bay and Biras Creek in Anegada's North Drop, where undersea canyons "drop" off the plateau undergirding the islands.

In the Fat Lady's Marlin, the discovery of excellent sport fishing at Virgin Gorda's Sound Drop is chronicled as:
"The boats would approach the marina with multiple marlin flags strung up on their antennas...nine sport fisherman waved a total of 87 blue marlin during the Biras Creek International Team Fishing Tournament held in September, 1998..."

Other deep sea game fish include wahoo, white marlin, sailfish, yellow fin and black fin tuna, dolphin (dorado) and kingfish.

Inshore and Reef Fishing

There is also plenty of inshore and reef fishing in Virgin Gorda.  Bone fishing is the most popular.  Weighing up to 10 lbs. (4.5 kg), the slender, silvery and surprisingly elusive bonefish is an incredible fighting fish.  Excellent bone fishing can be had in the BVI, especially in the reef-ringed island of Anegada.

Fly-fishing is also popular for permit and tarpon only.

There are a vast number of fishing charter trips to choose from, leaving from Oil Nut Bay and surrounding areas.
