I also stay at OBBR. Been fishing on the island for years. Buy a $20.00 collapsible fishing rod. (6 to 7') 10 to 12lbs line. Lures - rattle traps, 1/8 - 1/4oz plastic fish with weight in them. Broken backs work some time. Used to fish at OBBR where the Lighthouse has been built. Gate up now and can't get there. Early mornings on Dawn beach have caught fish. Don't know what they were, but had fun. Leaving OBBR head to Philipsburg and fish the salt ponds. Small Tarpon. Then head past the Heineken airplane restaurant to the rotary. All the water you see is loaded with tarpon. Nothing big but fun. Go on youtube and punch in tarpon fishing st martin. I'm the guy in the red shorts. At night at the Simpson Bay draw bright on the inlet side you can see the tarpon feeding. If you want to see big fish eat dinner at LEES and sit next to the water and throw a French fry in the water. you will see tarpon in the 50lbs range. Have Fun. Remember you can't catch unless your pole is in the water. LOL
