Fishing in Paradise at Royal Plantation Island at Fowl Cay, Exumas, Bahamas

Getting out onto the open waters of the Caribbean Sea in my boat and fishing with my friends is one of my favorite things in life. That’s why it was such a blast to be able to combine fishing with work, recently, when I took a crew from Florida Sport Fishing Magazine down to Royal Plantation Island at Fowl Cay in the Exumas, Bahamas. They were on-hand to shoot some pictures and do a story about the incredible fishing off of our amazing, 50-acre, private island retreat.  We spent hours fishing in waters so clear that, most times, you can see all the way down to the seafloor. The sun was bright, there were hardly any clouds in the sky and the fish were biting—just another perfect day in the Exumas.
 

Of course, after you’ve had a great day out at sea, there’s nothing quite like coming home to Fowl Cay and all of that unbelievable Royal Plantation service and luxury.
 

Boating, fishing and swimming in the Bahamas—now that’s what I call a fun day at the office!
 

Check me out in the “fighting chair” of my boat, Stew Fish. Doesn’t it look like I’m just about ready to reel in a big one?

Sometimes, you just have to jump in and cool off. As you can see, I was definitely loving life. Can you believe how clear the water is!

Scott Peiffer, Senior Designer from Unique Vacations in Miami and Creative Director behind Island Routes and Sandals Lifestyle, was on hand to help out with the shoot.

The whole gang poses with our catch. Judging from our big smiles and the size of those fish, I guess you could say it was a pretty successful day!
