Andros Island Bonefish Club offers easy access to the famed Bahamas
bonefishing of northern Andros. Andros Island Bonefish Lodge is conveniently situated on the mouth of Carghill
Creek at the eastern end of the North Bight of Andros, Bahamas. The fishing lodge is a stone's throw away from
a productive, wadeable flat. Streching in all directions are miles more of healthy bahamas bonefishing flats. The north and middle bights of Andros are comprised of channels and cays interlaced with bonefishing flats, meaning that bonefishing guides can often find leeward fishing regardless of wind direction. At Andros Island Bonefish Club, |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| anglers can expect chances to cast to large numbers of medium sized
bones with chances at the huge, double-digit fish that made Andros a famous bahamas bonefishing destination. Anglers will enjoy an unusually diverse bonefishing experience at Andros Island Bonefish Club. Flats range from wadeable, hard sand to deeper, soft marl. In certain areas large schools of bonefish are common; in others larger singles and doubles are the norm. An advantage of fishing out of Andros Island Bonefish Club is that its bonefishing guides are all extremely experienced and can use this diversity to the advantage of weather conditions and each angler's specific bonefishing preferences. |

| You may see an occasional permit on certain flats during most of
the year, and there are resident tarpon in the deeper creeks on the west side of Andros Island. These non-migratory
tarpon, averaging about 30-60 pounds, although fish well over 100 pounds have been landed. Bear in mind, however,
that encounters with permit or tarpon are not common in most areas of the Bahamas. The barracuda, jack and snapper
fishing, however, can be quite consistent. Andros Island Bonefish Club uses seven 16-foot Dolphin Super Skiffs and three Hewes boats, powered alternately by reliable 70-hp, 80-hp and 90-hp Yamaha outboards. All skiffs are equipped with poling platforms for stalking bigger Bahamas bonefish. Operating each vessle |

bonefishing guides, including owner Rupert Leadon and his brothers Nelson and Brian. Many of these Bahamas fishing
guides have more than ten years of experience guiding on the flats surrouding Carghill Creek and Andros Island
Bonefish Club. The lodge itself is a modern, comfortable facility, situated feet from the Atlantic. Built in 1988, the fishing lodge was renovated in 1990. Further improvements are slated for this summer (2007), and all the bathrooms will be redone. |

However, guests who feel very strongly about releasing all fish should make this clear upon arrival at the fishing lodge (Bahamians sometimes enjoy eating the bigger bonefish caught by clients). |
