cruzincouple_808 Posted June 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I know what you are all thinking!!! I'm NOT going to be fishing from the boat. LOL But I am an avid fisherman. I was just wondering if I can bring my rod so I can fish at the ports? ie Cabo, Mazatlan & PV. SHORE FISHING IS MY FAVORITE. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing just about anything aboard is easy, fishing rods included. I have a travel rod that breaks down (4 piece). If you have a airport proof rod case you can bring that you. I have fished all over the Caribbean and Mexico while cruising. Catch'em up:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Robberts Posted June 2, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Great news! Thanks! So lures and hook are a-okay??? I was thinking they would be prohibited? No problem I bring standard rods in travel case and pack lures in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishin' musician Posted June 2, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) I always cruise with a pack rod... DW lays out on the beach, I find a spot away from swimmers and always manage to catch a few. First pack rod I had was from Gander Mountain, and was their brand... first hook up was about a ten lb grouper from the pier the ship was tied up to in Bermuda. As I set the hook, the rod snapped at the handle. I had to hand over hand the fish and eventually landed it. HAL is my favorite line for fishing as they have shrimp available at the omelet station... (yeah, yeah, I know you're not supposed to take food off the ship...). I've upgraded to Ugly Sticks and although heavy and not great action, they do hold up well. I had excellent success on the back side of Great Stirrup Cay, including a 3' barracuda that had a very bad disposition. That was some years ago and I know they've developed a lot more of the island, but you should be able to find somewhere away from the crowds to fish. Oh, and if considering BVI/Tortola, you will need a license, which is the only Caribbean cruise destination I've been to that does. And don't laugh too hard about fishing from the ship... we were tendering in to Cozumel a few years ago and we went along side a RCL ship... I saw 3 or four lines coming down from above, looked up and there were some crew members fishing! Edited June 2, 2015 by fishin' musician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corolla48 Posted June 2, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 2, 2015 We are booked on a Norwegion Fiords cruise next year. Has anyone done any shore fishing there whilst cruising or know of any party/charter boat fishing trips? My husband has fished in Norway before but that has always been on fishing holidays with the guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Wheels Only Posted June 2, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I would love to watch you troll off the back of the 8th deck. That would be great!!!!! Nah, NCL would charge a "casting fee" of $15 for each rod you bring on board. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
