Deep-sea fishing boats, adequately equipped with ship-to-shore radio and trolling equipment for both live bait and artificial lures, can be booked through most of the hotels, although the largest fleets are based at the Corsaire Club at Trou-Aux-Biches , at the Hotel Club Centre de Peche and Le Morne Anglers Club both found in Black River.
