I was contemplating to do the deep sea fishing down there on both trips that I went to Jamaica and looked into it. It all depended on the fishing crew on the trip that day/resort. A lot of the crews wouldn't let you touch the rod unless there was a bite, and you got to reel it in. I still haven't officially figured out what they did with any fish that was caught. Based on the price to go fishing, I decided against going and just had another wobbly pop on the beach. Hope this helps!
