    Tranquility Hill Fishing Lodge

    Updated on

    Tranquility Hill Fishing Lodge is situated on top of a hill, overlooking the Eastern entrance of the North Bight, near Behring Point, Andros Island, Bahamas. Tranquility Hill’s location gives bonefishermen quick access to miles and miles of virgin flats and the numerous Cays of North Bight. Large numbers of bonefish averaging 3-6 pounds roam these flats. Plenty of fish in the 6- to 9-pound class can be found, and there are good chances at double-digit fish. Tranquility Hill also has wadable flats directly in front of the lodge and around the dock, where bonefish can be caught tailing, if the tide is right. The bonefishing waters of Middle and South Bights are less than an hour boat ride.

    Tranquility Hill is a well run Bahamian Lodge. In early 2013, they upgraded and “resized” the lodge. The new configuration reduced the number of rooms to 5 spacious double rooms, each with 2 double beds, and 3 slightly smaller single rooms with double beds. Each room has a new couch/sitting area with 32 inch flat screen TV, small refrigerator, coffee maker and new quiet AC units. Also added is a brand new “Cottage” with 2 double bedrooms, common sitting area and kitchenette, for groups of 4 anglers.

    Outside is a new rod rack/ washing station with a rigging area. The dining room / common area includes a comfortable couch, satellite TV, bathrooms, and 2 tables to enjoy some delicious meals. The bar is a separate building with a patio. Hors d’oeuvres are served in the bar every afternoon along with Kalik’s, Exotic Caribbean cocktails, including Bahama Mama’s and Goombay Smashes, plus a wide selection of brand name liquors. This is a great place to sip your favorite cocktail, or the beer of the Bahamas, Kalik, while watching the sunset over the North Bight.

    In addition to the many bonefish flats, there are numerous creeks and lakes, which could offer opportunities for record size Tarpon, Grey Snapper and Jacks or you may choose to fish the three “Sunken Rocks” where you find large quantities of Barracudas, Permits, Spanish Mackerels and Mutton Snappers or you may choose to fish off the third largest reef in the world for Dolphins, Marlins, Tunas, Kingfish, Wahoo, or the Graceful Sail Fish, just five minutes away from Tranquility Hill.

    If you have any special fishing desires (you want to wade, target big bones or tarpon, etc.), please tell Ray Mackey your preferences upon arrival. That way your guide can discuss the options with you based on current conditions, and then work your requests into his overall plan for your trip.

    Tranquility Hill’s chef, Cora Neymour, prepares delicious meals with a homemade feel and a Bahamian flare. Dinners are typically comprised fresh seafood, however Cora’s menu also offers barbecued chicken, ribs and steaks, as well as Bahamian specialties like homemade Johnny Cake, conch chowder, peas and rice, and baked spicy macaroni and cheese. The homemade bread, served with each meal, will have guests asking to take a few loaves home.

    President Raymond Mackey, who started Tranquility Hill Fishing Lodge with legendary Andros guide, Ivan Neymor, leads the Tranquility Hill staff and guides. Prior to Ivan’s passing in September 2008, Ivan and Ray had over fifty years of experience guiding on Andros Island, making finding fish second nature. Ray Mackey capably continues the tradition leading one of the deepest and most complete guide rosters in the Bahamas, most of whom were trained by Tranquility Hill. Beyond catching fish, Tranquility Hill stresses the importance of having knowledgeable and friendly guide in any fishing situation. The guides at Tranquility Hill will greet you with an eager smile and can-do attitude the first day on the dock and will make every effort to give you the type of fishing experience you most want.

  • Andros Island Bonefish Club

    Andros Island Bonefish Club

    Updated on

    Andros Island Bonefish Club offers easy access to the famed Bahamas bonefishing of northern Andros. The lodge is conveniently situated on the mouth of Cargill 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. Stretching 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.

    Species: Bonefish (medium to large, with chances at double-digit fish), occasional permit, resident tarpon (30-60 lbs, some over 100 lbs), barracuda, jack, and snapper

    Location: Cargill Creek, North Bight of Andros Island, Bahamas

    Lodge located directly on the flats—fishing within minutes

    Fleet: Seven 16-foot Dolphin Super Skiffs and three Hewes boats with 70-90hp Yamaha outboards

    The Fishing

    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. Catch and release is practiced while bonefishing at Andros Island Bonefish Club and the guides don’t keep any bonefish.

    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 vessel is one of Andros Island Bonefish Club’s team of dedicated Bahamas bonefishing guides, including owner Rupert Leadon and his brothers Nelson and Brian. Many of these Bahamas fishing guides have more than fifteen years of experience guiding on the flats surrounding Cargill Creek and Andros Island Bonefish Club.

    The Lodge

    The lodge itself is a modern, comfortable facility, situated feet from the Atlantic. Built in 1988, the fishing lodge was renovated in 1990. All twenty nine rooms are clean, comfortable and air conditioned.

    There is a lounge area (bar) and dining room overlooking the water. Each room has a great view of the ocean and can accommodate up to three people and includes a private bath, personal refrigerator, ample dresser and closet space and a ceiling fan. Several of the rooms have satellite television (although service throughout the Bahamas is very unreliable). Daily housekeeping is provided and laundry service is available upon request. Guests at Andros Island Bonefish Club have access to the adjacent Creekside property and amenities, including an oceanfront swimming pool.

    Meals

    Meals are served in the dining room at Andros Island Bonefish Club. Each morning hot breakfast of eggs, bacon, pancakes, toast, fresh fruit and juice is served before a day of fishing. Guests then hand pick their own lunches which are put in coolers and transferred to the skiffs. Bottled water is provided and soft drinks, juice or Gatorade are available on request.

    On your return from the day of guided Bahamas bonefishing, hors d’oeuvres are served. Dinners usually consist of chicken, pork or beef or local seafood including grouper, mahi, lobster (August 1-March 31), fish and conch. After dinner, tasty desserts and fresh coffee are served. A bartender is available to serve you a cold Kalik or drink of your choice.
