Chris- I am going over to Lucaya for a week in mid June and will be fishing and partying with friends. I will fish NW Providence channel looking for birds to find the tuna and dolphin. Last year I was there this time and we caught many small dolphin and about ten tuna. We did some deep dropping which was OK and some bottom fishing which was lack luster. If I was going purely to fish hard, I would stay in West End and go north daily towards Memory and Mantanilla shoals. The bottom fishing and deep dropping is much better there and the trolling can be good at times. But with the new catch restrictions, you would probably limit out really quickly and then what would you do in West End?
