Under new management, Andros South of South
Andros, Bahamas, is located 15 minutes from the South Andros Airport in the southern section of the island and
is a short distance from some of the finest bonefishing in the Bahamas. Literally hundreds of square miles of bone-white flats offer guests unlimited opportunities to challenge both trophy size bones for which Andros is famous, as well as large numbers of school size fish which have seen relatively little fishing pressure. |

Single Accommodations Each day, guests select to fish nearby creeks or the vast ocean flats of the South and West Coasts. Breakfast is at 6:30 a.m., dinner is at 6:30 p.m., and in-between is some of the best fishing imaginable. The lodge has 10 clean and comfortable, air-conditioned rooms, each with tiled floors, telephones, cable television and private baths with showers. Situated in a quiet area and right on the ocean, a refreshing swim on the beach can follow a day of fishing, the nearby reef, or the deep blue water of the open ocean. Daily housekeeping is provided and laundry service is available as well. |
|
| The South Bight Regarded as one of the more scenic areas on the island, the South Bight has deeper channels and, as it is closer to the ocean, is home to some of the larger fish in the area as well. Bonefish are fewer in numbers here, but, with its combination of bone-white flats, turquoise and emerald waters, fishing “The Bight” is a most memorable experience. |

|
| Little Creek
Just 5 minutes from the lodge, Little Creek is an extremely productive fishery with limitless wading opportunities and also connects guests to the vast flats of the West Coast. For those seeking more fishing time and the option for a run to the west, Little Creek is the perfect option. The west side of Andros is famous for its large bonefish. Most of the fishing done here consists of carefully stalking big, cruising doubles and singles from the bow of the skiff. |
| The South & West Coast For anglers wishing to cast to a school of bonefish an acre in size, a visit to the south and west coasts of South Andros is a must. The flats here consist mostly of bright, hard sand, so this area is perfect for the wading enthusiast as well. In and around Jack Fish Cays, Water Cays, Curly Cut and Grassy Creek it is not uncommon to see schools of bonefish numbering in the hundreds. This region is the place to be if sheer numbers of fish is the goal of the day. The ocean flats of this area stretch nearly from horizon to horizon and fishing pressure is almost non-existent. Although requiring a 45 minute weather dependent boat ride, a visit to this area should be included in your week; wading adjacent to a “bone-ball” is unforgettable. |
|
| Inland Wading Andros South takes advantage
of a close proximity to an increadibly vast network of inland flats and salt water lakes and ponds that can be
loaded with fish under certain conditions. These areas cannot be accessed by boat and are therefore rarely fished. The Andros South guides, however, have developed a unique and extensive knowledge of these fisheries and love sharing it with visitors to the lodge. When the tides are right, you may find yourself all alone amidst schools of landlocked bonefish feeding hungrily in ankle-deep water. |
|
| Tidal
Creeks Along the east coast of South Andros are a number of intricate tidal creek systems. Many large bones venture up these channels during the rising tide. These areas are close to the lodge, providing for longer fishing days. Deep Creek, one of many of the creek systems within minutes of Anros South Lodge, quickly opens to a 6-mile wide bay dotted with dozens of small islands, or cays. This area is the perfect spot for those looking for great fishing and a longer day on the flats. This is also a great spot to fish on windy days; there are countless leeward flats among these scattered islands. |

New this year at Andros South is the opportunity for guests to explore a virtually untouched blue-water fishery off the east coast of Andros (for an additional charge). The so called Tounge of the Ocean teams with dorado, tuna, ocean barracuda, sharks, billfish, and more. The fishing is done from a 25' Power Cat powered by twin 150hp Yamaha four strokes. |
|
Anlgers can fish with lures, bait or fly from the Power Cat. In the short time since Andros South began utilizing this amazing blue-water fishery, guests have been especially successful with dorado caught on the fly. |

|
|
|
| Running time from the lodge to open, fishable water ranges from 10 to 30 minutes. This is a weather-dependent option, so blue-water days are not guaranteed, but guests can also charter the Power Cat for days of reef fishing, bottom fishing, and exploratory bonefishing. | |
