WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Cottongarden Bay is a coastal bay in the US Virgin Islands offering fishing for great barracuda, common dolphinfish, and bonefish in the crystal-clear Caribbean waters. The combination of offshore pelagic visitors like mahi-mahi with resident reef predators and flats species makes Cottongarden Bay a diverse marine fishing destination. Spot Features: Cottongarden Bay is a marine bay in the US Virgin Islands with the clear tropical water, reef structure, and shallow flats typical of USVI coastal environments. Great barracuda are sight-cast with flashy lures in open water, dolphinfish are targeted by trolling or casting to weed lines and floating debris offshore, bonefish are sight-cast with fly rods and light spinning tackle on the sandy and grass flats. Seasonality: Great barracuda are year-round predators in Cottongarden Bay and USVI waters, most actively feeding at dawn and dusk. Common dolphinfish (mahi-mahi) are warm-season pelagic visitors most common from spring through fall (April-October). Bonefish are resident on adjacent flats year-round with the best sight-fishing conditions in spring and fall.
