Tartar Bank (offshore fishing)

An offshore bank south of Cat Island's south-west tip, part of the famed sport-fishing grounds between Cat Island and San Salvador worked by the boats out of Hawk's Nest.
Practical
Coordinate is the GeoNames position for Tartar Bank (shoal), about 6-7 nm south of Hawk's Nest. Hawk's Nest marina reviewers describe it as a base for 'the famous fishing grounds between here and San Salvador', and one 2014 sportfisher released a blue marlin fishing 'the atoll to the south'. Depths and current over the bank were not verified; check Explorer Charts. A Bahamas fishing permit is required and is not included in the cruising permit (see the area entry for fees). Observe bag limits and seasons.
