    Lodge Accommodations

    The Bonefish Lodge consists of a majestic cedar and stone two-story building with guest accommodations in a separate building adjacent to the main lodge. The building has 8 nicely appointed and spacious rooms. All the rooms are air-conditioned, have two queen beds with tiled floors, full bath, large dresser and a porch overlooking the water.

    Dining and Facilities

    The main lodge’s ground floor consists of a beautifully decorated restaurant and bar. You will be surrounded by many pictures of fishing success with autographs of celebrities adorning the walls. You can expect to be served a variety of extremely well prepared menu items by local Exuman, Chef Martin, such as lobster, fresh fish, steaks and other Bahamian specialties. The food at the Bonefish Lodge is so popular that locals come from Georgetown to have a wonderful night out. I highly recommend the conch chowder and cracked conch! Did I mention the Bacardi Rum Chocolate cake?

    Off of the dining room is an expansive wooden deck jutting out onto the water, adjoining the docks where the bonefish skiffs are tied up. The deck, with several covered picnic tables and benches, is ideal for assembling gear and setting up rods. A newly installed salt water wading pool is the perfect way to relax and enjoy a Kalik (local beer) under a beautiful Bahamian sky after fishing.

    Adjacent to the main dock is also a saltwater lagoon which acts as a live fish tank for the resident snappers and lemon sharks that come for their nightly feeding by Karen Hyde.

    The Fishermen’s Clubhouse

    The Fishermen’s private Clubhouse on the upper level is where breakfast is often served. You will find a fully stocked honor bar and fly tying area, satellite TV, video library, phone area; card table and other recreational amenities here. The wrap around second story porch is a great place to unwind and talk about your fishing experience and plan for your next days fishing while the sun sets.

    Bonefishing on Great Exuma

    Exuma has quality bonefishing with good numbers of fish in the 3 – 5 pound class, with occasional fish running up to about 8 or 9 pounds. Flats are located on both sides of the island but are generally inaccessible without a guide and boat. The west side flats are divided into two general areas, the airport flats, which often provide great numbers of smaller fish, and the outer Cay flats which can provide the best chances for bigger bonefish as well as the occasional permit.

    The east side flats run from about 15 minutes south of George Town to the Little Exumas and can provide opportunities for bigger (6 – 9 pound) fish. Other flats species available include barracudas, sharks and the occasional permit.

    Fishing Fleet and Guides

    Peace & Plenty fishes up to as many as 10 boats and guides a day. The boats are docked at the main lodge and in Moss Town, a 20 minute taxi ride from George Town. The shallow draft skiffs powered by 25 hp outboards have nice size casting platforms and good rod storage. Although you may fish from the boat, Exuma’s main attraction are the beautiful, firm white sand flats which are perfect for wading.

    All Peace & Plenty guides work on a rotational basis and you are apt to fish with any of the guides during your stay. Lodge manager Bob Hyde explains that you are going to catch more fish and have a better experience since each guide specializes in his own area were they are confident you’ll catch the most fish.

    Location and Travel

    The island of Great Exuma is located 130 nautical miles southeast of Nassau in the Southern Out or “Family” islands of the Bahama chain. The village of George Town, on the eastern side, is the island’s center of activity and home to the charming Club Peace & Plenty Hotel, the original establishment of Peace & Plenty’s 3 hotel properties (The Bonefish Lodge, The Beach Inn and Club Peace & Plenty).

    The 2 facilities in town of Peace & Plenty are located on a site originally occupied 200 years ago by a cotton plantation. The hotel is situated on George Town harbor, a popular anchorage for yachts cruising the Out Islands. Combination trips between all three locations is possible and offer a wonderful alternative for the angler who wished to bring his family.

    Travel Information & Documents: American Eagle and Bahamas Air fly direct to Exuma from Miami International Airport. Bahamas Air also services Exuma from Nassau where a number of U.S. carriers fly daily. Entering the Bahamas, a U.S. citizen must have two pieces of identification (one being a birth certificate, the other a driver’s license, voter’s registration card, etc.) one of which must have a picture.

    Suggested Tackle

    Fly Fishing: While rod selection is a personal choice, a good rule of thumb would be a 9-foot graphite rod designed to throw an 8-weight fly line. Reels should have a smooth drag and a capacity for at least 150 yards of 20 pound dacron backing plus the appropriate fly line. Fly line manufacturers offer many choices, however, any quality weight forward, floating line will be a good choice. Leaders would be 8 to 12 pound test and 9 to 12 feet long. Standard bonefish patterns tied on #4, #6 and #8 hooks in varied weights and colors are in order. Please feel free to contact us for more specific information regarding the above.

    Spin Fishing: A reasonably stiff 7-foot rod balanced for 8 to 12 pound test monofilament matched to reel with a smooth drag and a capacity for at least 150 yards. 1/8 to 1/4 oz. artificial jigs of varied colors.

    Peace & Plenty has rental equipment available, both Fly & Spin and also a small tackle shop with flies, jigs, leaders, etc.

  • Abaco Lodge

    Abaco Lodge

    Updated on

    The “Marls of Abaco” is a vast expanse of prime, wilderness bonefish habitat, situated along the western shore of Great Abaco Island in the Bahamas. This little fished area spans some 300 square miles: 30 miles north – south and about 10 miles off the west coast of Abaco. The Marls have long been known by well-traveled bonefishermen as one of the most unique and productive fisheries in the Bahamas.

    Abaco Island is one of the larger and more developed Islands in the 700 mile long Bahamian chain, but its development is principally along the eastern shore with white sand beaches and easy access to deep water. Much of the land mass along the western shore drops off to swampy wetlands, referred to as “The Marls”. Comprised of hundreds of square miles of mangroves, creeks, cuts and flats, navigable only by shallow draft flats skiffs, the Marls remain an undeveloped wilderness and ideal bonefish habitat.

    The greatest advantage of Abaco Lodge is its location, literally on the flats. Anglers walk a short distance from their rooms to the dock, hop in a skiff, and can be fishing prime flats within 5 – 10 minutes.

    Bonefish (2-10 lbs), tarpon (seasonal), occasional permit

    Location: Great Abaco Island, 15 minutes from Marsh Harbour Airport

    Lodge located directly on the flats—fishing within 5-10 minutes

    Single rooms available at no additional cost (first come, first serve)

    The Fishing

    Unlike some of the less developed islands in the Bahamas, Abaco has the third largest airport in the Bahamas (Marsh Harbour). Good numbers of direct flights from the U.S. makes traveling relatively easy and the lodge is an easy 15-minute drive from the airport.

    Another attractive feature is that Abaco Lodge provides single rooms for the majority of their guests at no additional cost. Each room is spacious and well appointed with a private bath. The lodge has 7 rooms to accommodate 8 anglers per week. There are 6 single rooms set up for single occupancy and 1 room set up for double occupancy. The single occupancy rooms are available on a first come first serve basis.

    The lodge owns a fleet of state of the art Hells Bay Flats Skiffs that get you to the fish quickly and efficiently. They are also stealthy boats and navigate the shallow waters of the Marls beautifully. Experienced guides are not in short supply on Abaco and Abaco Lodge has developed loyalty from some of the best on the island.

    There is one additional ingredient that contributes greatly to the success of Abaco Lodge … management. Nervous Waters has always taken pride in finding the right managers for each of their destinations. Marsh Harbour has a good supply chain, so if anything is needed, it’s generally there by the end of the day.

    Despite all these other accolades, it is the fishing that really sets Abaco Lodge apart. The marls offers some of the most productive bonefishing in the Bahamas for 2 – 7 pound bonefish. The lodge compliments its “home” waters (the marls) with trailering options on the east side of Abaco, where the fish are larger and the wading more prevalent. With drives of 15 – 40 minutes guests can be fishing the east side of Abaco from Cherokee Sound to Treasure Cay. Here anglers will find 5 – 10 pound bonefish in good numbers, whether fishing from a skiff or wading hard sand flats a couple of hours either side of low tide.

    Bonefishing action at Abaco Lodge

    The bonefish move into the Marls on the rising tide looking for food, and the drill is to follow them in, and when the tide starts to drop, follow them back out. Some of these interior flats are wadable, but as the term “marl” implies, many of the interior flats are too soft for comfortable wading, so are fished from the skiff. The outer edges of the Marls are typically firm, and the guides may target tailing fish on these wadable flats during the lower stages of the tide. From time to time, tarpon may be encountered on some of the deeper flats.

    Abaco Lodge has been best publicized by an ESPN series entitled, Pirates of the Flats, which first aired in January 2010. Angler celebrities Lefty Kreh, Yvon Chouinard, Michael Keaton, Tom Brokaw, Thomas McGuane and Bill Kline were invited to Abaco Lodge to film the series and ESPN captured on film the beauty and productivity of this unique fishery. Viewers may recall many scenes with these celebrities seated at the outdoor dining area or sitting around the fire pit at night, recounting the events of the day. These images solidified what those in the industry already knew. Abaco Lodge is an alluring location to immerse yourself in the sport of bonefishing with a fly.

  • North Andros Fly Fishing

    North Andros Fly Fishing

    Updated on

    Phillip Rolle’s North Andros Fly Fishing is an intimate operation, giving 4 – 6 anglers direct access to the famous bonefishing found on the Joulter Cays. The Joulters are a collection of around 50 small islands, spread out over a 125 mile sand bank off the North Shore of Andros Island. The 20 miles of extensive hard sand flats are a wade fisherman’s paradise. There are channels running though the flats that keep the bonefish on the flats during every tide and also attract permit. There is also convenient access to the west side of Andros (by trailing to Red Bays), which offers large bonefish, resident tarpon, and occasional permit.

    The guides at North Andros Fly Fishing make it a special place to visit. Phillip and his guide staff are passionate about fly fishing; true professionals, operating high quality skiffs and engines, and are just as comfortable with seasoned anglers and first time bonefishers. Many clients come back saying that Phillip is one of the best guide they’ve fished with in the Bahamas.

    North Andros Fly Fishing provides accommodations in two air-conditioned cottages. The larger cottage has 3 bedrooms, 2 private bathrooms, a living room with satellite TV and WiFi, and a screened in porch. The smaller cottage is typically used when there are two separate groups booked at the same time, to give clients more privacy. Both cottages are basic, but clean, comfortable, air conditioned and perfect for serious anglers looking for great guides and exceptional fishing at an affordable price.

    The standard daily schedule starts with a modified continental breakfast with fresh coffee served in your cottage. The guides will pick you up at your front door to head out the day of fishing (10 minute drive to the boat launch). Picnic lunches are packed on the boat. More than likely you’ll be hard pressed to find time to pause for lunch between wading or poling after bonefish in the 4 – 10 pound range. After fishing, the North Andros Chef will serve appetizers at the larger cottage, followed by dinner. Dinners are home style meals from a diverse menu. Please note that North Andros Fly Fishing doesn’t provide alcoholic beverages, but you are welcome to bring your own (recommended if you are particular about your liquor or wine) or the staff will be happy to take you to the local liquor store.

    Like the rest of Andros, there isn’t much for non-anglers to do, but the cottage is a two-minute walk to a beautiful beach. There is good snorkeling and sunbathing at your fingertips. You can snorkel the ocean Blue Hole in Conch Sound or find a young person in Evans Town to walk you to the mysterious Evans Cave and Blue Hole (explored by Jacques Cousteau). Two bicycles are available for your use. Our taxi driver, Alan Russell, can be hired for half or full day tours of Andros Island. There are original straw baskets and wood carvings to purchase in Red Bays, the only settlement on the Wild West side of Andros. Red Bays is also the home of the sponging Industry. You can also visit other Blue Holes and Captain Morgans’s Cave. On a full day trip you can tour the Androsia Batik Factory. Rental cars are also available. Don’t forget they drive on the left side of the road!

Staff naturalists will also take you snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking or sea-kayaking to reveal an unspoiled Andros Island.

    On the Cay, a freshwater swimming pool, directly looking over a pristine, white sand beach is at your disposal. The palm covered Tiki Bar with fully stocked “top shelf” bar is located right at the pool. A tennis court rounds out the on-site activities.

    We are able to offer you an all-inclusive, luxurious package at a price that reflects absolute quality. Discover the complete comfort of Kamalame.

    Fish the abundant water close by the villa, venture to the fabled Joulter Cays just 30 minutes (by car) north of Andros, or even explore the untouched northwest side of Andros Island. And, who would want to miss the angler-tested, guide-approved North Bight?

    If you choose, each day, you will be taken by an air-conditioned vehicle to meet your guide and boat (Maverick skiff with poling platform) at one of these fishing locations so that every angler will have an  opportunity to access the different available areas.

    If you favor a more relaxed pace, or if you just can’t stop fishing at the end of the day, wander onto Staniard Creek’s expansive flat out the backdoor of the Cay. Andros is well known for its large bonefisd, and our visits to the Joulters with Kamalame have confirmed this. Fish averaging a solid 4 pounds, and many in the 9-pound-plus class, are encountered while even larger bones work the flats’ edges. There have been some permit caught in the Joulters; however, these fish should be considered a bonus. It is a very impressive fishery.

    The fully-equipped, center console 24 foot sportfishing boat sits at Kamalame’s dock ready to take you to the nearby reef and beyond to explore a vibrant fishery. Combine this exciting offshore action, Kamalame’s extraordinary facility, and the opportunity to be one of the lucky few to stalk Andros’ famed bonefish in rarely touched water, and you have all the makings for the trip-of-a-lifetime.

    Accommodations

    Extraordinary attention to every detail is a hallmark of the accommodations at Kamalame Cay.  Several accommodation selections are available. From private villas, to duplex cottages with private entrances and common living area, to the quaint Angler’s Nest cottages, Kamalame has many lodging options to choose from.All of the villas at Kamalame Cay have private patio areas off the bedrooms, huge closets, fully stocked fridges with cold Kaliks, water and juices. All of the accommodations have ceiling fans and air conditioning and the use of a golf cart to explore the Cay at your leisure. Some of the villas or cottages offer an over-sized soaking tub for relaxing which will allow you to relax in your Kamalame Cay Turkish bath robe.

    Miles of beautiful exclusive beach directly in front of the villas beckon the beachcomber. It is not uncommon to walk the beach and find sand dollars and exotic shells.

    For larger groups wanting more deluxe and private accommodations, the owners home at Kamalame Cove sits on 4 acres and offers 7,500 square feet of living space with 4 exquisite waterfront bedrooms, a secluded fresh water pool set among palm trees, private access and your own chef at your disposal. The private open air “Great Room” overlooks the sea on three sides.

    The “Great House” on the Cay serves as a perfect gathering place for meals, cocktails and fish tales. It is decorated with art and antiques from the owner’s collection, filled with comfortable oversized furniture, and wrapped with an inviting verandah that offers a tranquilizing panoramic view of the sea.

    A nice Kamalame Cay bonefish

    Stafford Creek Lodge

    Updated on

    Stafford Creek Lodge is owned by Prescott Smith, son of legendary Andros guide, “Crazy” Charlie Smith. Situated on the peaceful and beautiful Stafford Creek, the lodge is in the ideal location to fish an amazing amount of water on the east side, north, and north west Andros. Beyond just spectacular bonefishing, Prescott has unlocked one of the Bahamas consistent Permit and Tarpon fisheries. If you’re looking to get a Grand Slam in the Bahamas, Stafford Creek is one of the few places that can make that a reality.

    Stafford Creek has a staff of hand picked guides, all trained by Prescott to be experts at utilizing the tides, weather and time of year to get the best fishing for bonefish, permit and/or Tarpon. These guides don’t “watch the clock” and fishing days start early, allowing optimal fishing hours on those flats. Guests at Stafford Creek Lodge fish from comfortable, high performance Maverick, Action Craft, and Hughes flats skiffs with 90-115 hp Yamaha 4 stroke engines.

    Anglers staying at Stafford Creek Lodge will enjoy convenient access to the famous bonefishing grounds of the Joulter Cays, the west side of Andros, countless tidal creeks and lakes that pepper the island, and the local east side flats. Guests are driven to a number of separate boat launch sites, including Red Bays and Conch Sound, which allows angers access to more remote water.

    The two most well known fisheries are the wading angler’s paradise, the Jouters and the land of the giants, Andros’ Westside. The Joulter Cays are made up of about 50 tiny islands spread over a 125 square-mile sand bank and is a must fish for anglers who enjoy stalking bonefish on foot. The channels that run though the Joulters keep bonefish on the flats during all tides and make it a Permit hotspot. The remote Westside flats accessed from Red Bays are some of the world’s best flats specifically for targeting big bonefish: There are very few other places on earth that offer bonefish this big and this unsophisticated. The eastside flats and creeks have smaller fish in schools or medium to large bonefish cruising in doubles and small groups.

    Individual guest cabins accommodate anglers in spacious quarters. There are three cabins for a maximum of 6 guests, in one-of-a-kind rooms with local Androsian touches, such as bed frames made of local hardwoods. Each room has two queen-sized beds with down feather pillows, a spacious bathroom, air conditioning, ceiling fans, rod holders, wading boot drying racks, a mini refrigerator stocked with sodas, lemonade, and water, a coffee maker and fresh coffee, a hairdryer, basic first aid kit, boat towels, bath robes/wraps, and an alarm clock/radio.

    The cottages also have a sliding door that opens to a creek-side private deck with a view of Stafford Creek and a screened-in back door that opens to the yard, which is lined with fruit trees and tropical flowers attracting migratory and residential birds.

    Although Stafford Creek Lodge is for bonefishing enthusiasts, other activities are available upon request such as diving or bird watching.

    Stafford Creek Lodge has a well-trained, full time chef who creates excellent meals designed around fresh seafood and other local ingredients. Breakfasts and dinners are served in the main lodge; lunch is packed in a cooler and eaten on the bonefishing flats. Conch fritters and other hors ‘deouvres are served with post-fishing cocktails.

    Fly Fishing Andros, Bahamas West Side

    Flamingo Cay Lodge is the only lodge situated on Andros’ famous west side. Other lodges do fish Andros’s west side, but only by navigating the island’s creek system for up to an hour by boat over choppy seas, often at an additional fuel surcharge. From Flamingo Cay, huge western bones are only minutes away. Nestled in a private, secluded cove, Flamingo Cay is a unique private retreat that offers some of the best bonefishing and waterfowl hunting in the Bahamas.

    Flamingo Cay was acquired by the Bethell Family in the 1920’s. Charles W.F. Bethell maintained the property for waterfowl shooting in the 1950’s and was host to The Duke of Windsor and other celebrities. Grandson and current owner/operator Charles B.M. Bethell III, restored the existing camp and has developed a unique sporting destination for waterfowl and flats fishing enthusiasts.

    Huge schools of medium to large bonefish roam Andros’ pristine, white sand flats and permit and tarpon are sometimes found along the shoreline and in many of the island’s rivers and lagoons.

    Flamingo Cay has the latest up-to-date flats boats, including 4 Hell’s Bay Boat Works, powered by 90HP motors and a Air Gator airboat for special hunting and fishing tours.

    Guides are experienced and have access to miles of unpressured flats. Some of Andros’s biggest bonefish call these western flats home and seldom see flies.

    Anglers can also fish William Island and Billy Island, 45 minutes or so from the lodge via one of the Hell’s Bay skiffs. Besides big bones, this area is home to resident tarpon and permit.

    The vast creek systems on Andros’ west side form a complex of mangrove swamps. Anglers sit up high above the marsh watching ducks, egrets, and other birds scatter in all directions. Hidden within these mangroves are inland flats that become landlocked during certain tides. At these times the angler can enjoy a “captive audience” of bonefish; the fishing can be spectacular. Anglers are dropped off and the bottom is suitable for wading. Flamingo Cay is also offering exploratory trips to south-west Andros by float plane.

    Flamingo Cay Club offers four-star amenities and gourmet dining. It is accessed primarily by seaplane. It will become clear, looking down on Andros from the air, exactly why Flamingo Cay Club has become so well know for great fishing in an extremely secluded setting. Thousands of miles of unexplored, untouched bonefish flats extend in all directions. Flamingo Cay is alone on Andros’ entire west coast, approximately 30 miles from the nearest outpost. Cruising schools of bonefish are visible as you make your final approach and land on the flats directly in front of the lodge.
