Mars Bay Bonefish Lodge is home to world class bahamas bonefishing
in the heart of south Andros. Mars Bay is the southernmost bonefishing lodge in Andros by about 10 miles, meaning
a signficiantly shorter boat ride to Andro's famed southern flats. Of course, less time in the boat equates to
more time bonefishing; up to an extra hour a day compared to other bonefishing lodges.
Mars Bay Lodge is characterized by simple, clean comfort without added frills (no fancy linens or table cloths).
Visitors to Mars Bay should be interested primarily in bonefishing. |

| Andros Island is popularly considered the bonefishing capitol of
the world, and south Andros is its epicenter. The bonefishing flats are remote and unpressured. Bonefish are unsophisticated
and can roam the flats in schools numbering in the hundreds. Anglers will also have chances to sight cast to schools
of 5lb. bones as well as the occasional double-digit cruising single. Less often guests will hook flats tarpon
and the elusive permit. |

Guests at Mars Bay leave from the lodge each morning in pairs, sharing
a boat and guide. From the lodge It is a short ride to healthy bonefishing flats, and the first fish are usually
hooked before breakfast has been digested.
The boats are nicely equipped with poles and platforms, and always rigerously maintained. Most of the bonefish
flats around Mars Bay consist of hard, white sand, and most of the bonefishing is done wading. Other species |

| such as Jacks, Barracuda and snapper, can be found in the nearby
creeks. Bonefishing access includes areas such as Beach Cay, Hawk's Nest, Grassy Creek, Jackfish and the Water
Cays. There is also an extensive flat immediately in front of the lodge for unlimited independent bonefishing.
All Mars Bay bonefishing guides are Bahamas natives and have extensive knowledge of south Andros and its diverse
fisheries. |

The lodge itself is a clean, modern facility. The amenities are more
than adequate but not in any way luxurious. The serious fisherman, though, will find nothing lacking.
Accommodations consist of relaxed Bahamian "Villa Style" rooms that are simply furnished and kept very
clean. The main building is comprised of 3 comfortable bedrooms, large sitting and dining |
| areas, and a fully equipped kitchen. There is also a two-bedroom
guest house on the property, allowing the lodge to accommodate up to 8 anglers. Meals are prepared by an expert,
full-time chef and consist of freshly caught fish and seafood as well as beef, pork and chicken. |
