Line fishing in the lagoon on a fisherman's pirogue from La Preneuse or Black River: relaxed, local, and your catch grilled afterwards if you like.

Not big-game fishing: a couple of hours in a wooden pirogue with a local fisherman, dropping hand lines in the lagoon for reef fish. It's quiet, local and a good way to learn about life on the bay. Many fishermen will help you clean the catch, and some restaurants will cook it.
Arrange it with the fishermen on La Preneuse beach or at the Black River jetties.
