There are numerous of species to test  you , perhaps none more so than the Giant Trevally  ,with weights up to 80 pounds , they hide out around the rocks in safety and provide really excellent sport .   Kingfish come into the channels at high tide  , schools of Golden Trevally feed in masses off the reef along with big numbers of Bonito . Pampano are found at the bay outlets .

A whole variety of species provide for a varied sport in various conditions. The best months for off shore fishing are November through to early April . 

A useful link is to see www.aardavrkmcleod.com and they have posted a report by expert fisherman Peter Gibson  of Hardy Grey who came on a fishing trip at Kiwayu in March 2009. He caught 70 fish in 5 days and will be back for more.
