Fishing in Bimini, Bahamas
Just 50 miles from Florida across the Gulf Stream, Bimini is where Ernest Hemingway chased giant tuna and marlin in the 1930s and much of modern big-game fishing took shape. The Stream's edge runs hard along the western shore — the channel between Bimini and Cat Cay is still called Tuna Alley — while the flats behind the islands are storied bonefish water.
