Rickmon Bonefish Lodge offers fantastic bonefishing on the southern tip of Abaco. Lodge owner Ricardo Burrows has put together a very attractive, well situated fishing lodge with extremely easy access to Sandy Point's healthy flats. Ricardo is also considered by many to be the best fishing guide in Abaco. He has lived and bonefished the waters around Sandy Point for over twenty years. Guests at Rickmon can now benefit from years of combined bonefishing experience offered by Ricardo and his team of world class Bahamas fishing guides. The fishing lodge itself sits directly on a beach

overlooking a flat. The lodge was built in 1999 with 11 air conditioned guest rooms. Guests can access a small bonefishing flat immediately in front of the lodge. Beyone the flat is a creek and another very productive bonefish

flat, known as Town Flat. The flat offers world class bonefishing

very consistently. Since the flat is so close to the lodge, you can also have your fishing guide drop you off there for after hour fishing. Vast areas to the east, west and south of the fishing lodge consist largely of excellent bonefishing flats. Most of flats are comprised of white sand; some are softer with turtle grass. In total, about 75% percent of the flats are wadeable. The bonefish flats around Sandy Point are home to large numbers of bonefish in the 3-5 pound range, though Rickmon Lodge guests have seen fish in the 14 pound range. Also

within a short boat ride is More's Island. This is one of the best places in the Bahamas to target permit on the fly. This is also the place to go to fly fish for mutton snapper, jacks and big barracuda. To the west is Gorda Cay, another spot

renowned for large numbers of unsophisticated bonefish and permit that will take flies. Boat rides to these destinations can range from 20 - 50 minutes, depending, of course on the unpredictable Bahamian weather.

Coffee will be available in the dinning room at 6:00 AM. Breakfast begins at 7:00 AM. The fishing day normally runs from 8:00AM – 4:00PM. Under proper weather conditions the

guides may be able to make the crossing to Mores Island or Gorda Cay. Lunch is usually packed in a cooler and taken aboard.

After a hard days fishing, you will return to the fishing lodge to relax in your room or perhaps sit and enjoy the expansive 50 ft.

deck over looking the water. Dinner, consisting of Bahamian dishes such as conch chowder, lobster, grouper, chicken and vegetable dishes is served between 6:30 – 8:00PM.

Rickmon Bonefish Lodge does not sell or rent tackle or lures. Rickmon sells some flies but supplies are limited. Some of the fishing guides carry back-up tackle should you break a rod. It is imperative that each angler bring his own tackle, flies, and lures. We recommend that you bring tackle suitable for bonefish, permit, mutton snapper, barracuda and shark. To

assist in your selection, please see the Angler Adventures' “Flats Fishing the Bahamas & Caribbean – What to Bring” List on our website. There may also be opportunities to cast to tarpon at the lodge, although tarpon are not very common.
