About Trolling Fishing in Scotts Head
Scotts Head, Dominica offers some of the finest trolling fishing on the Gulf Coast. Scotts Head sits at Dominica's southern tip where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. The dramatic underwater volcanic terrain creates upwelling currents that concentrate baitfish and predators. This is arguably the best shore fishing spot in the Caribbean, with jacks, barracuda, and snapper catchable from the rocks. Offshore, wahoo and mahi mahi are plentiful. The trolling waters here — calm bays, estuaries, grass flats, and mangrove-lined shorelines — provide world-class angling opportunities that draw fishermen from across the country.
