Fishery Profile
Fishery Overview
Frederiksted west-end pier, reef, and nearshore pelagic fishery
A Frederiksted, west St. Croix pier, leeward reef, and nearshore pelagic fishery. Yellowtail, mutton snapper, and barracuda use the reef; mahi, wahoo, and blackfin tuna run close to shore on the leeward west end. This is not Christiansted, not Limetree as a destination, and not a Mona-specific Puerto Rico exposure.

Fishery Targets
Yellowtail, mutton snapper, and barracuda are year-round. Mahi-mahi is a documented pelagic overlay; destination month timing is not encoded on this harbor pin. Exact legal seasons are not invented.

Also called Barracuda
No seasonal pulse known
Ubiquitous inshore predator around the pier and reef.
Mahi-mahi

Access, Safety and Regulations
Access
Frederiksted pier and west-end boat access. A USVI recreational license is administered through GoOutdoorsUSVI. Confirm current DPNR and federal Caribbean rules. Do not claim no license is required.
Primary hazards
Pier traffic, heat, and thunderstorms. Missing waves are not calm.
Fishery considerations
Tide prediction is NOAA 9751584 Frederiksted at-location. Supporting observed water level is nearby Limetree Bay 9751401. Limetree is not a destination. Current is unsupported and is not inferred from tide.
NWS point forecast is required for scoring. 9751401 wind is nearby contextual observation. 41052 is TOO_REMOTE.
Regulations
Size limits, seasons, and possession rules change. Verify the current official regulations before fishing.
The map marker represents the cataloged waterbody or monitoring location and may not indicate legal parking or public access. Confirm access through the official information before visiting.
Coastal conditions can vary over short distances. Predictions and remote observations are planning information, not guarantees of access or safety.
Pin is Frederiksted, west St. Croix. This is not Christiansted and not a Mona Passage / Puerto Rico exposure family.
Current axis is UNSUPPORTED. Missing current is not slack or zero. Do not infer current from tide.
Customer Current Coastal Rating publishes only when CARIBBEAN_US_VIRGIN_ISLANDS_COASTAL_RATING_BETA_ENABLED is true. Then it is PUBLIC_BETA_CALIBRATING and capped at Consider. Default-off remains fail-closed unavailable. CARIBBEAN_US_VIRGIN_ISLANDS_V1 is a candidate only. PATH1 remains unauthorized. Coastal Estimated is unauthorized. Physical readings are not a calibrated empirical rating.
