Grand Bahama’s bonefishing habitat consists primarily of a vast, mangrove-lined north shore and shallow flats at the mangrove’s edge. Bottom structure varies from soft sand and grass to hard sand and marl, ideal for wading anglers.

H2O Bonefishing guests can also fish the outer cays. Their proximity to deeper water makes the cays a perfect habitat for permit and tarpon (late spring through fall) and barracuda. There are also schools of horse-eye jacks averaging 10 to 15 pounds, and good numbers of bonefish.

When northerly winds pick up, the southern side of Grand Bahama offers a bonefishing lee. A short boat ride opens up miles of white sand and reef fringe flats perfect for wading. During spring and summer permit can also be found on the south side.

H2O Bonefishing’s team of professional fishing guides have combined experience of over 50 years on the flats of Grand Bahama. Each guide fishes from a well maintained, 16-foot Maverick flats skiff powered by an 85hp Yamaha outboard. The boats are also equipped with VHF radios, cell phones, trim tabs, poling platforms and leaning posts.

H2O Bonefishing also recently introduced a blue water fly fishing program, targeting yellow fin tuna, black fin tuna, skipjack tuna and dorado. Tuna average 15 to 25 pounds, though they range up to 60 pounds, and are usually caught on floating fly line.

The offshore bite is best in the early morning and evening, so anglers can combine this option with a full day on the flats. A few hours of blue water fishing can be a nice change from the flats and is also a perfect option for arrival and departure days.

H2O Bonefishing suites are attractive, well-appointed, waterfront rooms in one of the “small Treasures of the Bahamas.” Spacious accommodations include a choice of king sized bed or two double size beds, satellite television, telephone, refrigerator and coffee maker. The hotel is equipped with a business center with wireless Internet access. Room arrangements for families and baby-sitting services can be arranged.

H2O Bonefishing is centrally located, guests east access to a variety of the islands best restaurants, as well as a number of activities with in short walk from the hotel, such as the beautiful white sand of Lucaya Beach and the heart beat of the island’s entertainment at Count Bassie Square. Should non angling activities for wives and/or family be a consideration, it’s very hard to find a better program to cater to them while knowing there will be zero compromise to the quality of your flats fishing.

Included: guided fishing as described; air conditioned waterfront room with king or two double beds, satellite television, direct dial phone; mini-fridge, in-room coffee maker, use of hotel amenities, complimentary full service hot or cold breakfast; packed lunch including non-alcoholic beverages daily aboard the boat, 6% Hotel Guests Tax and 6% Resort Tax; Bahamas Value Added Tax (Effective January 1,2015).

Not Included: international flights; transportation to and from the airport or harbor (Taxi is approximately $23 for 1 or 2 passengers); guide gratuities ($50 minimum per day suggested per boat0; dinners (more than 20 restaurants within 2 minutes walk); alcoholic beverages; equipment rentals where applicable; wireless Internet ($12.95 per day connection fee); Bahamas fishing license.

Package Option: evening meal plan available at Yellowtails at $25 per night per person.

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.

In 2005, Kamalame Cay added a luxurious and peaceful Spa Retreat, situated at the end of a new pier, which directly overlooks the blue azure shades of the ocean.

Since opening in the Spring of ’99, Grand Bahama Bonefishing’s anglers have landed tarpon, permit and a ton of bonefish, many over 10 pounds. The largest bone to date is a monster taken February 26th, 2000, which taped out at 34 1/2 inches with an 18 inch girth, and tipped the scales at a whopping 16 1/4 pounds!

The Pinder Brothers, David Jr., Jeffrey and Joseph are among the most experienced and talented bonefish guides in the Bahamas, having literally grown up in the guiding business at the famed Deep Water Cay Club on the island’s East End. David Pinder Jr. has won the All-Bahamian Bonefishing Tournament of Grand Bahama Island. On a single day, David landed 23 bones!

Accommodations for Grand Bahama Bonefishing is located at the beautiful Breakers Cay / Lighthouse Point at the Our Lucayan Resort, located a short 10-minute ride from the airport and dock. Breakfasts are buffet style in the Willy Broadleaf’s Restaurant, located away from the original Lucayan Reef Village which is now the Sheraton.

The Westin at Breakers Cay / Lighthouse Point is a smaller area with its own restaurants, swimming pool, private beach, casino and fitness center. The hotel is also located within walking distance of the Marina and many of the finer restaurants. Golf is available at the world class Lucayan Country Club, which was voted #1 in the Bahamas in 1999. The amenities, services and activities offered at the Our Lucayan Resort have made GBB a wonderful destination for couples or groups with non-fisherpersons.

One of the Pinders (usually Edwin) will be transporting fishermen to and from the dock. The fishing van will pick you up in the morning around 8:00 am in front of the hotel.

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!

North Andros, Bahamas

The west side of Abaco offers anglers top quality bonefishing on productive flats that receive far less fishing pressure than some the better-known islands in the Bahamas. The Delphi Club fishes the Marls on the west side of Abaco and Cherokee Sound, on the east side of the island. The Marls offer over 200 square miles of first-class bonefishing flats and are famous for their numbers of bonefish in the 2 – 3 pound range, occasionally up to 7 lbs. A record fish in the Marls would be 9 pounds. The Marls bonefish are typically aggressive feeders that will charge a fly. Anglers may also get an occasional shot at permit and tarpon while fishing the Marls during the summer. Cherokee Sound offers gorgeous sandy flats with extensive wading opportunities. The bonefish in Cherokee Sound are typically larger than the bonefish in the Marls (3 – 5 lb average, up to 12 lbs), however they can be “spooky” fish and challenging to catch. To access the quality fishing in the Marls and Cherokee Sound, Delphi has purchased four new 16′ Dolphin skiffs that are run by brand-new 40-HP Yamaha engines. Each boat has a removable leaning bar and seats with backrest to ensure that anglers are comfortable during the fishing day. The skiffs are trailered by new Toyota Hi-Lux crew cab pick up trucks 5 minutes to Crossing Rocks, 15 minutes to the Marls and 20 minutes to Cherokee Sound.

Delphi currently fishes up to four local guides and draws from a pool of talent including: Donnie Lowe, Dana Lower, Robin Albury from Cherokee Sound and Ishy Williams, Tony Russell, Darren Russell and Joe Brodie from Crossing Rocks. The guides are assigned on a rotation basis so you are apt to fish with each of them during a weeks stay.

The Delphi Club at Rolling Harbour was created in the image of Peter Mantle’s Delphi Lodge in Ireland. The main house of The Delphi Club is luxurious, more so than your typical fishing lodge, and consists of a Great Room, a Library, a gallery and 8 well-appointed bedrooms. The Great Room is the center of the house and features an enormous dining table, a discreet honor bar, comfortable seating, and stunning views through a number of glass doors. The Great Room is decorated with fine antiques and fishing paraphernalia, providing this common area with character and elegant atmosphere. The adjacent library is well stocked with a variety of books and features (with some reluctance) the Delphi’s only TV. Other amenities include an infinity pool, patio with sun loungers, and massage services.

The Delphi Club has a total of eight bedrooms; six are on the first floor and 2 are on the third floor, along with the gallery that also contains the fly shop. Four bedrooms have an oversized King bed and four bedrooms have twin queen sized beds. Each bedroom is decorated with art work and has a private bathroom with shower, Air-Conditioning, a large closet and chest of drawers, desk and chairs, safe, iron and ironing board, and a private deck. The private decks offer beautiful views and are furnished with a sun lounger and a small teak table with two chairs.

Delphi is especially well regarded for it’s gourmet meals and extensive wine cellar. Delphi employs a chef from Ireland who has been trained and worked in several Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe. His food is simple, fresh and delicious, making optimal use of local ingredients. Delphi’s exceptional wine list is fairly priced and can be paired with the gourmet evening meal for an excellent dining experience.

Non-Angling Activities

Delphi offers a number of options for non-fishers, in addition to relaxing on the club’s private beach or reading a selection from the library with a glass of wine at the pool. Private scuba lessons in the pool; guided dives to spectacular coral reefs; golf in Winding Bay or Treasure Cay (20 or 60 minute drive respectively); guided snorkeling; big game fishing (charter boats based out of Marsh Harbour or Sandy Point); miles of beachcombing along Abaco’s amazing sandy coastline; boat trips to the charming outer islands; massage and beauty treatments by the pool; shopping for local crafts in Marsh Harbour; or guided nature trips to explore the amazing wild life and flora of Abaco.

The on-site fly shop is fully stocked with flies and leader material (Scientific Anglers and Seaguar). Apparel and gear from all the premium brands also available: Patagonia, Free Fly, Costa, Abel, Yeti, Fishpond, AFTCO, and Poncho.

Delphi Club also has a limited number of rental rods: Hardy fly rods and reels which rent for $20 per day.

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.

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.

The Peace & Plenty Bonefish Lodge has everything you could want in a first class bonefish lodge; quick access to miles of productive flats, state of the art flats boats, experienced Bahamian guides, outstanding food, American management and a physical plant as comfortable and picturesque as many in the Bahamas that charge far more.

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.

The main lodges 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 Barcardi Rum Chocolate cake?

Off of the dinning 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 grahite 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 monofiliment 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.

Water Cay Bonefish Lodge is ideally located just east of the Horn off Grand Bahamas North Shore. The lodge is situated on the southern shore of Water Cay, a small island 3-miles north of mainland Grand Bahama. Water Cay is a remote island with only 3-full time residents and despite the glow of Freeport (the second largest city in the Bahamas), the experience at Water Cay is similar to the more remote out-island lodges in the Bahamas. This north central habitat is rarely visited because the other lodges on Grand Bahama (all located on the southern shore) do not need to travel to Water Cay to find good fishing of their own. As a result, there are very few boats fishing these waters near Water Cay and by taking only 6 anglers at any one time, Water Cay Bonefish Lodge ensures that the north shore’s vast bonefish habitat remains virtually untouched.

Many anglers opt for more “remote” areas, like Andros or Abaco, believing Freeport is too developed. But as the second largest island in the Bahamas chain, there is more to Grand Bahama than the hustle and bustle of Freeport, and the North Shore offers countless miles of wilderness bonefish flats. In many ways, the fishery is similar to the Marls of Abaco or the west side of Andros, with deep cuts, perfect flats and rocky bottomed bays that allow for a fair mix of fishing from the skiff and wading. It is not unusual to spend a few hours poling an area (while casting to many schools of fish) and then pop out around a corner and see the lodge! The complexity of the bays, creeks and flats that surround the lodge can be quite deceiving.

The lodge building consists of a common area, 3-guest rooms and 6-staff rooms. The common area contains the kitchen, dining area, lounge, bar, and fly tying area. The 3-guest rooms are located to the left of the common area, and each air-conditioned room contains two twin beds, full bathroom and shower, a closet, a chest of drawer and a ceiling fan. The rooms are decorated in traditional Bahamian colors and native décor. To the right of the common area are the 6-staff rooms. All the water for the lodge is produced and filtered by an extensive reverse osmosis system allowing guests to have purified water right from their bathroom taps. The lodge also has small deck in front of the lodge, a guest favorite for swapping fishing stories and sipping a cold Kalik as the sun sets over Bahaman flats.

Water Cay Bonefish Lodge’s fishing program is run by master Bahamian guide Sidney Thomas. Sidney has a tremendous bonefish pedigree. At 44 years of age, he has worked for all the best lodges on Grand Bahama either as their head guide or as a key bonefish guide. Devoted and hard working, Sidney is the “real deal” when it comes to guiding.

Sydney and his team of guides (Ezra Thomas and Greg Rolle) have adapted a unique style of catching big bonefish: “Bonefish got to eat. And to eat, bonefish got to get up onto their flats and find food. It’s nice to see those big tails waving in the sunlight on the incoming water. We see them and we fish ’em directly. What I mean is that I like to have my guys go straight for the fish. No leading or putting that fly where you think them fish are gonna be. Just try to hit them on the head. The fish at Water Cay haven’t seen many flies and so when they are hungry, they ain’t shy. You might think that your cast spooked them because they take flight twenty or thirty feet. But more times than not, the fish spin in a circle looking for what made the fuss. If they

think it’s a ‘cuda or shark or maybe a bird, they’ll keep moving. But if the coast is clear, those big fish will come right back to the spot. If you are there, then they are gonna eat every time. We hook a bunch of BIG bonefish this way.”

The guides at Water Cay Bonefish Lodge use 18′ Beavertail Bonefish skiffs with 40-hp Evinrude E-tec engines on jack plates. Each boat has steering console, two seats for anglers in front of this console, automatic trim & tilt engines. A cooler for lunches and cold drinks doubles as a seat for the guide behind the console. All boats are double hulled, self-bailing and each has a cell phone and a VHF radio for communication with the lodge and with one another at all times. Each boat is also equipped with 2 spinning rods for anglers to use if they choose. One rod is a med-action rod for bonefish and the other is a med-heavy action rod for barracuda or permit.

Water Cay Bonefish Lodge offers superb angling opportunities while still being close to the Bahamas’ second largest city. And with Freeport being so easy to reach (with many daily non-stop flights into Freeport from Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Atlanta & Charlotte), it doesn’t involve great hardship to reach some spectacular angling opportunities. Great unpressured fishing, a superb guide staff, a comfortable, well-appointed lodge and good solid food all makes Water Cay Bonefish Lodge a great choice for your next adventure.

The winter months are the times for big fish, but as the water temps stabilize in late March, the school fish show up in massive numbers and the big trophy fish mix with the schools. This integration lasts until late fall when the big fish once again go out on their own as they are able to better tolerate the cooler water temps. For the angler, this means Water Cay has it all, both big fish and school-sized fish. Permit show up consistently near the northern cays as soon as the winter winds calm and the water temps climb.

Rickmon Bonefish Lodge offers fantastic bonefishing on the southern tip of Abaco. Lodge owner Ricardo Burrows has put together an attractive, well situated fishing lodge with access to the expansive flats around Sandy Point, the flats running North and South of Sandy Point, plus Gorda Cay and Mores Island. Ricardo is considered to be one of the best fishing guides 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.

Rickmon Bonefish Loge sits directly on a beach overlooking a fishable flat. The lodge was built in 1999 with 11 air conditioned guest rooms, which have been converted to single occupancy rooms. Guests can access a small bonefishing flat immediately in front of the lodge. Beyond the flat is a creek and another very productive bonefish flat, known as Town Flat, which offers world class bonefishing. For a tip, you can ask your fishing guide drop you off there for after hours fishing.

Vast areas to the North, West and South of Rickmon are comprised of hard sand, with areas of 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 Mores 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 large bonefish, mutton snapper, jacks and big barracuda. To the west is Gorda Cay, another spot renowned for large 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.

Sandy Point is one of the few places in the Bahamas with a predictable Permit fishery and Rickmon’s is an excellent place to target Permit in the Bahamas from May – November.

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.

Grey’s Point Bonefish Inn on Acklins Island is one of our favorite wading destinations for bonefish. Run by the Williamson family, Grey’s Point Inn guests enjoy warm “Out Island” hospitality in a laid back lodge atmosphere with comfortable accommodations, good food and some of the best bonefish flats for wading in the Bahamas.

Acklins Island typifies the remote, out-island Bahamas experience at its very best. There are only 2 flights a week. Telephone and internet service can be sporadic. However, traffic jams are never a problem and the people of Acklins are among the friendliest you’ll ever meet!

The flats fished by Grey’s Point Inn are spectacularly beautiful and relatively shallow, especially in the appropriately named Lovely Bay and equally stunning Relief Bay.

Acklins bonefish feed in extremely shallow water, especially at low tide, so the fishing at Grey’s Point Inn is 99% wading. Grey’s Point Bonefish Inn, therefore, is the ideal lodge for the angler interested in the excitement of stalking bonefish on foot. Tailing fish can usually be found throughout the day. Nothing captures the essence or excitement of bonefishing like stalking, casting to and hooking a 6 pound bone is 4 inches of water!

Because of Grey’s Point Bonefish Inn’s close proximity to the open ocean, guests will occasionally encounter larger bonefish. The average bone is in the 3-5 pound range. Fish in the 6 – 8 pound class are fairly common and at times you can have shots at huge, double-digit bones fresh from deeper water. The club record is a whopping 16 pounds.

The bonefish will often form vast schools at high tide and then gradually spread out over the shallow flats, cuts and channels as the water drops. This makes for extremely diverse, exciting fishing, and offers a great variety of wading experiences, from working drop offs to tip-toeing after tailing bones. Anglers might also have shots at big permit at Grey’s Point, and of course sharks and big cudas can be plentiful. Tarpon sightings, while rare, are always a possibility on Acklins.

Grey’s Point Inn has three full-time bonefishing guides and several part time guides, all with years of guiding experience on Acklins Island. Having grown up in these waters, these Acklins native guides are extremely knowledgeable, hard working and will bend over backwards to put you on good fishing.

Grey’s Point offers surprisingly comfortable accommodations given its remote location. There are 6 guest rooms and a main lodge, all overlooking the flats of Relief Bay. The rooms are attractively furnished and decorated and feature 2 large double beds, air-conditioning, satellite television, a refrigerator, small desk (prefect for fly tying), private bath, and even WiFi (intermittent, but there!). The main lodge contains the kitchen, dining room, common area, and a game area, which includes a full-sized pool table. There’s also a separate small lounge adjacent to the guest rooms with comfy chairs and a big screen TV. With the exception of intact larger groups, Grey’s Point takes a maximum of 8 anglers ensuring that each guest will receive the personal service and quality fishing experience that Grey’s Point Bonefish Inn is known for.

The food is served Bahamian style and features fresh local ingredients, such as broiled or steamed lobster, fried grouper, roasted chicken or cracked conch. The lodge owners and staff are friendly, hard working, courteous people who are punctual and a pleasure to be around.

Grey’s Point does not sell beer or other alcoholic beverages. Typical of the Out Islands, the selection of spirits and wines on Acklins is extremely limited. We recommend purchasing your liquor and wine needs at the Duty Free Shop on arrival in Nassau, and purchasing your beer needs upon arrival on Acklins. A representative of the lodge will meet you at the airport to transport you to the lodge. They will stop at a grocery store that sells beer, on the way. Beer may be kept cold in the mini fridge in your room. The well known Bahamian Kalik and Sands beers are always available on Acklins and occasionally Heineken and Guinness as well.

Grey’s Point owns a collection of modern, shallow draft flats boats. Boat rides to bonefishing flats are minimal, typically 5-15 minutes. The boat launch in Lovely Bay is about 25 minutes from the lodge. The lodge overlooks Relief Bay so guests fishing there depart from the boat basin a short walk down the hill. From there, you can be fishing within 2 minutes. Additionally Grey’s Point has a canoe and two kayaks for guests who would like to fish on their own the afternoon of arrival. There is also a wadeable flat in front of the lodge for hard core anglers who just can’t get enough!

Bonefish around Acklins are not overly bashful despite the extremely shallow water in which they generally feed, nor are they picky eaters. Pattern selection is much less important than presentation on these flats. We do, however, recommend bringing a good supply of Bunny Bones or other unweighted or very lightly weighted flies for the skinny water around Grey’s Point. Weed guards are helpful for flats with turtle grass. See Angler Adventures BAHAMAS WHAT TO BRING LIST for details. Bring your own flies and tackle. Neither is available at Grey’s Point Inn.

As most of the bonefishing is wade fishing, guests have the option of hiring a “boat handler”. The boat handler will run the boat around to meet you and your guide at the other end of the flat, saving a long walk back!

Typically a Friday overnight in Nassau is required to take the Saturday morning Bahamas Air flight to Spring Point Acklins. Guests are met by Newton or Garon Williamson for the transfer to the lodge. Guests typically arrive at the lodge before noon on Saturday and have the afternoon to assemble gear, relax or do some fishing on your own.

Sandy Point, Abaco, is one of the outstanding bonefishing destinations in the Bahamas. It has all the bases covered: good bahamas fishing guides, large numbers of bonefish (including some very big bonefish) and plenty of wadeable, hard-bottom bonefishing flats. It is also a good place to fish for sharks, big barracuda, jacks and mutton snapper. Though Bahamas permit fishing generally does not compare to places such as Ascension Bay, Mexico or Southern Belize, Peter and Gays offers access to some of the best permit fishing in the Bahamas. Pete and Gay’s Guest House is situated at the center of this great Bahamas bonefishing spot.

From the lodge at Pete and Gay’s, the fishing guides have fishing options to the south, north and east. The south offers miles of white sand bonefishing flats as well as tidal creeks which offer excellent bonefishing. To the north lay vast sand and mangrove flats and the famed Marls of Abaco. Directly off shore from Pete and Gays are Gorda Cay and Mores Island, both of which are well known for large bonefish and permit.

Pete and Gay Guest House is one of only two fishing lodges located in Sandy Point. Pete and Gays is owned and operated by Bahamas native Stanley White. Stanley is an excellent owner/manager and provides accountability and follow through on guest services like few other Bahamian bonefishing lodges we’ve dealt with. Stanley also has an excellent relationship with many of the areas top bonefishing guides, including Patrick Roberts, Nick, Tony, Derick Kendall, Val and other professional Bahamas bonefishing guides.

There are no wadeable bonefishing flats within easy walking distance of Pete & Gays Guest House (there is a beach you can walk and at the right tide you may spot some bonefish), but you can fly fish off the nearby (200 feet away) Government Pier for jacks, snappers and mackerel.

The fishing lodge itself is not fancy, but it is a clean, modern facility, completely renovated in 2000, and offers air conditioning and private baths in each of it’s guest rooms. The fishing lodge is a two story building with a wrap around deck on the second floor located a short walk from the water. Of the 14 rooms, 4  (located on the second floor) are larger “mini-suites”, available at an extra cost. A maximum of ten anglers can be accommodated. Bonefishing packages include airport transfers, meals, lodging and guided fishing. Pete & Gay is flexible as to the arrival days, length of your stay, and departure days.

Autumn Bonefishing: October, November, Early December. Excellent time for large bonefish and permit; other species also available. Conditions are generally quite pleasant, although there is a chance for a late hurricane or some early cold fronts. The average temperature during these months is 80 degrees (F), and the nighttime lows average about 70. Precipitation declines from an average of 6.5 inches in October to 1.3 inches in December.

Winter Bonefishing: Mid-late December, January, February, March. These are the best months for big bonefish. Good time for permit fishing, and perhaps best overall for barracuda. Daytime temperatures range around 77, and  night time is a pleasant 64. These are the dry months; average precipitation is about 1.5 inches or less. Of course, the weather can be variable: cool, cloudy, windy, and rainy conditions are possible.

Spring Bonefishing: April, May and June. Warming water and calming winds stimulate bonefish to school together. You may see and cast to hundreds of fish. There are good opportunities to sight cast to larger single fish on the flats, as well. Late spring can bring afternoon showers, and the warmer, calmer weather seems to bring out the insects. Expect daytime temperatures around 85 degrees, and nights about 72. Rainfall increases during this period to about 6 inches in June.

Summer Bonefishing: July, August, and September. Classic “tailing” time for bonefish on the flats, especially early and late in the day, when it’s a little cooler. Early in the season, expect to find lots of permit on the flats. Some rain or a tropical storm possible, but temperatures are a warm 88 degrees during the day, and nights are a balmy 75. Rainfall is at it’s highest during this period: expect about 5.5 inches average each month.

Breakfast and dinner are served in the Pete & Gay Guest House restaurant. Dinners are served family style with two main courses. The food has an authentic Bahamian flare and portions are generous. Lunches are taken aboard the boat. Every effort will be made to accommodate any particular likes or dislikes or dietary needs.

There are several ways to get to Pete & Gays Guest House. The most common routing is to fly to Marsh Harbour where you’ll be met and transferred by car to Sandy Point.

This option is included in the package price. Other means of getting to Pete & Gays are:
– Schedule a private charter from Nassau
– Charter flight direct from Florida into Sandy Point, with a stop in Marsh Harbour or Nassau to clear customs.
– We will be happy to make recommendations for the best option for your group.

Deep Water Cay Club (DWCC), located on Grand Bahama Island, is hard to beat for consistently productive bonefishing, top Bahamas’ guides, state-of-the-art bonefish skiffs, outstanding facilities and management, all within close proximity to the USA. A good thing just got better. New owners (as of February 2010) are making substantial investments to the storied Club, fine tuning every aspect of operating a saltwater fishing lodge. Founded in 1959 by Gil Drake, Sr., DWCC has become an institution in the world of light tackle angling.

Newly constructed in the Spring of 2010, the Welcome Center will house a reception/reservation area, a retail shop with fishing and resort wear, dressing room, local arts and crafts, a pro tackle shop stocked with some of the best brands in the industry and a dive center. Adjacent is a tiki bar on the beach to welcome fishermen at the end of the day.

In the Fall of 2010, DWCC will have 10 brand new, state of the art skiffs to join four newly refurbished 16ft. Dolphin skiffs. These new flats skiffs include 5 Hell’s Bay 17’8″ Professionals and 5 Hell’s Bay 17’11” Marquesa skiffs, each powered by 90 h.p.

Yahama 4-stroke engines. The larger boats will be available to run to nearby Moores Island (approximately 30 miles or a 1 hour boat ride) allowing additional opportunities to fish for larger bonefish, permit and mutton snapper.

Also new to the fishing fleet is a 33′ World Cat used for reef fishing and offshore species including sailfish, marlin, tuna and wahoo. The boats are equipped with VHF radios, first aid kits, life preservers and fire extinguishers.

Slated for completion in the Spring of 2011, the entire DWCC boat storage facility will be moved to nearby Burrow’s Marina, which will feature a full service repair center where all boats will be maintained by DWCC’s expert mechanics. Guests will be picked up and dropped off at the completion of each fishing day at the DWCC docks and boats will return to the marina for refueling and storage. Old docks will be replaced by floating docks, allowing easier access to the boats.

Deep Water Cay Club accommodates a maximum of twenty-two guests in oceanfront cottage rooms, which offer great views of the blue waters surrounding Grand Bahama. The well-appointed cottages are freshly painted and refurbished with all new bed and towel linens, air conditioning units, storm-proof front doors, fly rod racks and porches. These cottages can be described as luxurious in a relaxed way. Each cottage is clean and well-maintained and contain two full size beds, mini-fridge, coffee maker and walk-in closet for your convenience. Oceanfront porches with Teak Steamer Chairs complete the appointments.

The cottages are conveniently located just yards away from the Clubhouse, Welcome Center, pool and newly resurfaced tennis court.

The Founders Cottage and Drake House offer an even more spacious option for groups of four. Each has 2 bedrooms, full kitchen with dining areas, sitting and living room. Each offer great views from a wrap-around, beach-front veranda. These are a nice option for families or parties of 4.

DWCC’s cuisine includes fresh seafood grouper, snapper, lobster as well as that all time favorite, conch. In addition to superb seafood, traditional fare such as roast rack of lamb with crusty rosemary potatoes is served.

Added to the original lodge in 1996, the DWCC Clubhouse elevated Deep Water Cay Club to the

position of one of the most prominent fishing lodges in the world – on a par with the “deluxe” flyout lodges in Alaska.

With views of both sunrise and sunset, the lodge contains a dining room, kitchen, restrooms, a cocktail bar with fishing photos and fishing log book, a living room/library, a game room equipped with a poker table, pool table, backgammon, computer with access to high-speed internet as well as a fully equipped fly tying table.

Attached to the lodge is a covered walkway to the Barracuda Bar, which overlooks the infinity pool and includes a grill room for parties/events, a flat screen TV, as well as a workout facility.

Despite the quality of its accommodations and food, the attraction of Deep Water Cay Club has always been flats fishing for bonefish, permit, barracuda, sharks, snapper, and jack crevalle. Set on the very private east end of Grand Bahama Island, Deep Water Cay Club is the gateway to over 250 miles of clear, pristine flats (see map).

Deep Water Cay Club employs a highly professional staff of Bahamas bonefishing guides including Mervin, Walter, Meko, Wendy, Joe T, Cecil, Simeon, Steve, Randy, and Mike T. who carry on the Pinder legacy, founded at Deep Water Cay Club. All are conscientious and knowledgeable about how to fish with bait or flies.

Fishing at Deep Water Cay Club

Besides the world class flats fishery, Deep Water Cay offers excellent offshore and reef fishing. From the Fall through the Spring, Wahoo, Sailfish, White and Blue Marlin, Mahi Mahi, and Tuna are found in the nearby Northwest Providence Channel, a short run for the Club’s 33-foot World Cat center console sportfisherman.

Reef fishing is also close by – less than a mile offshore. Grouper, snapper and barracuda are the commonly caught fish, and the action can be fast and furious. Reef fishing is a perfect activity for everyone, and remains strong year ’round.

The service at Deep Water Cay Club is old fashioned in the best sense of the word. As with most Caribbean resorts, there is a noticeable informality in the way things are run, but activities are punctual. Breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m.

The fishing day lasts from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Deep Water Cay Club offers bonefishing as good as can be found in the Bahamas. The wadeable flats are hard-packed white sand, and the bones are easy to spot. Bonefish average 4 – 5 pounds up to 14 pounds. An estimated 250 miles of flats are within an hour’s boat ride of the Lodge.

There is also a flat within walking distance of the lodge for independent fishing. This and many other flats are wadable at the lower stages of the tide. The three hour tidal difference between the east and west ends of the cay enable guests to fish medium to low tides and locate bonefish all day.

In addition to great bonefishing, there are good numbers of barracuda and sharks on the flats, as well as snapper, jacks and sometimes tarpon (not commonly) in the deeper cuts that dissect the cays. Two of the notable permit hot spots are Burrows Cay (30 minutes) and Moores Island (1 hour) by boat from the lodge. Both areas hold big permit averaging 28 to 34 pounds. The club permit record is 46 pounds. Mutton snapper and cudas can also be found on these flats.

Other activities and amenities include bottom fishing, shelling, birding, jogging and walking, beaching, swimming, snorkeling, massage and fitness center.

There are thatched umbrella-like covered areas for shade located directly in front of the lodge. There is a saltwater infinity swimming pool with lounge chairs nearby or you can swim just off the shore west of the main dock. There is, however, a strong current so it’s suggested guests stay close to shore. Snorkelers can explore from shore or hire a boat for drift snorkeling trips to Thrift Harbor.

DWCC has a good selection of rods, reels, flies and lures in the small tackle shop located at their dock. Spin rod/reels rent for $16/day; fly rod/reels for $25 per day. If you want to rent equipment, it is best to reserve it in advance. Unless you plan to rent tackle, we recommend that each angler bring tackle suitable for bonefish, permit and barracuda, the most prominent species at Deep Water Cay Club. For

more information, please see Angler Adventures’ Bahamas What to Bring List.

Deep Water Cay Club’s tastefully decorated, air conditioned rooms, experienced guides and picture book setting contribute to its reputation as one of the premier bonefishing lodges 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.

Flamingo Cay lodging includes three cottages. “Last Cast” is a two story cottage the can accommodate up to 6 guests in 4 bedrooms. The upper level has two bedrooms with 2 full-sized beds in each as well as a private bath and sitting area with French doors that open onto an upper deck that boasts an incredible view of the creek.

The lower level has 2 large bedrooms, each featuring a queen-sized bed and private bath. These rooms have French doors that open onto a porch. Spacious lounging areas and a wet bar complete this cottage.

“Cloyd’s Cottage” accommodates up to 4 guests and consists of 2 bedrooms, each with 2 full-sized beds and private bath. This cottage has French doors that open onto a porch, complete with a self-service wet bar and sitting area overlooking the creek.

A smaller cottage, “Blast and Cast,” features two private bedrooms, each with one full-sized bed and a shared bath. This quaint cottage features French doors that open onto a private deck overlooking the creek.

Flamingo Cay’s capacity is 8 persons. The lodge is open for fishing from October 15th to June 5th. Fishing and waterfowl shooting can be combined during the shooting season (October 15th – March 31st).

For current availability and pricing, please contact Angler Adventures.

Transportation

The lodge is only accessible by air therefore; clients are transported via floatplane. All floatplane commuters originate from Nassau. There are two flight options available into Flamingo Cay. A Cessna Caravan charter for groups of four or more or two smaller floatplanes.

Crooked Island Lodge has a lot of fishable water close by and it isn’t all just bonefish!  There are extensive systems of interior creek and lagoon areas that have big bonefish, an assortment of snapper, barracuda and small grouper, some permit and the occasional small to medium sized tarpon – all catchable on a fly rod or spinning gear.

Towards the outer edges of the islands, out in the Bight, it’s entirely different fishing: poling or wading crystal-clear sand flats, which hold thousands of school-size (2-4 pound) bones. Along the edges of the mangroves on a high tide you’ll again find larger single and double bonefish nosing through the roots and marl.

The beach in front of the lodge, the fishing can sometimes be quite good for jacks, small permit, grouper, snapper and such with the fly rod.  If you’re willing to use a spinning rod or can cast a needlefish fly a considerable distance, you can also catch barracuda up to 5 feet long, either casting from the skiff, trolling behind the skiff or fishing from shore.

Off Shore

If you like the big fish – the offshore stuff – the lodge operates a completely equipped boat. Offshore fishing with Captain Robbie Gibson is incredible. The lodge is fishing water that no other sport fishing boats are touching. Daily catches may exceed thirty fish and are not uncommon. Fall & Winter are excellent for wahoo and mackerel and some tuna. Spring & winter are excellent for tuna, dolphin (mahi mahi), and marlin. Wahoo and mackerel are also good.

Reef Fishing

Light tackle or Inshore fishing is very popular and highly productive with all our guests. Fishing in about 100 ft. of water produces nice catches of grouper, snapper, hard fighting jacks, mackerel, sharks, and cudas. Guests are invited to bring their catch back to the hotel, where the experienced and skilled Crooked Island Lodge chef will prepare your catch for dinner at the Sunset Bar & Grill.  Chumming, jigging and live bait techniques are used for inshore fishing. Excellent catches are available all year long. Because of the low population density (the total population of Acklins/Crooked Islands is less than 1,000), the reefs have barely been touched.

At the hotel, there is a picture of this fellow holding a wahoo that scaled reliably at 148 pounds.  That’s a damn big wahoo.  Billfish, tuna, dorado and other offshore species abound (seasonally) just a mile or less from shore or you can arrange longer excursions to productive offshore fishing spots for the day or a sleep over trip to the renowned Diana Banks.

For fly-casters looking for deep water fish, the lodge has been experimenting successfully with live baiting big jack crevale, horseyed jacks, amberjacks, mutton snapper, dorado and tuna. Live baiting involves releasing live pilchards to attract schooling fish to the boat and then casting flies.  Bring your 10-12 weight rods and big deceiver patterns if you’d like to try this (subject to availability of the big boat and access to the live bait).

The setting is lovely – a very dramatic bit of coastline with beautiful beaches and shells, great reef fishing 10 yards from shore and a 30-minute run to the flats.  The hotel itself is informal, not luxurious, but modern and comfy, quiet, small and nicely tree-shaded.  There are 12 rooms in 3 villas, a separate dining area, a beach cabana where dinners and lunches are sometimes served, a bar and a private airfield.  The nearest village is about a mile away.  The Crooked Islanders are wonderful, dignified people with big smiles; quiet, polite, religious and good-humored.

The fishing can be fantastic for bonefish that haven’t seen enough pressure to become spooky yet, averaging 2 – 4 pounds, with some much larger fish on certain flats, tailing or cruising alone or in pairs.  Besides bonefish, there are lots of snapper (mutton, mangrove, yellowtail), jacks, some big permit, a few tarpon, ocean triggerfish and tons of barracuda. Photographers will want to catch a bonefish within view of some of the thousands of Flamingos that inhabit this part of the Bahamas.

The New Blackfly Lodge, located on a picturesque harbor on the east side of Abaco, over looking the Atlantic Ocean, opened March 1, 2012. The new lodge features an open kitchen, bar, dining room floor plan, a full service fly shop, and accommodates 8 anglers in 8 single bedrooms, each with their own bath. The two story, classic Bahamian lodge has two levels of wrap around verandas, offering outside dining overlooking the 14 acre harbor/marina all within the 220-acre residential development project called Schooner Bay. Additionally, several “angler cottages” will eventually be offered for sale. Lindroth Development Corporation, LTD is undertaking the massive Schooner Bay development.

Blackfly Lodge employs 4 boats and guides to fish the southern half of Great Abaco Island. The 18-foot custom East Cape skiffs, powered by 90-hp E-tec outboards have padded seats / backrests and custom padded leaning bars with a fold away seat on the bow. The skiffs are trailered to various boat ramps, the closest being Crossing Rocks, less than one mile away. Blackfly fishes the Marls from Crossing Rocks, Mores Island, Gorda Cay, Sandy Point, Cross Harbour and Cherokee Sound. To get an idea how vast and varied this fishery is, Blackfly has divided this bonefish real estate into 6 zones.

Fishing Zones: The fishing grounds that surround Schooner Bay form six distinct zones each rich in a variety of species and large enough to support the entire lodge fleet if weather were to force all boats to fish in one zone. Only the most severe weather would cause a cancellation. Each zone supports similar species yet each as a unique offering in both species and habitat. Bonefish, Permit, Snappers, Sharks, Barracuda, and Tarpon (limited and seasonal) are among the species found on these waters.

Fishing at Blackfly Lodge is varied, and fishing as many of Blackfly’s “zones” as possible is the goal on every trip. Blackfly plans each fishing day according to the direction of the wind and general conditions at the time, as well as what forecasters are calling for. There is no set schedule other than to try to fish all sectors when possible, in order to give each angler an opportunity to experience everything southern Abaco has to offer. The cost of your trip reflects fishing in each of these areas. Therefore, returning to some of our more distant fishing grounds, such as Mores Island, would incur an additional cost for fuel and oil only.

Zone 1 – Crossing Rocks Ramp Northward to the southern edge of the Marls out to Big Mangrove Cay

Fishing can begin as soon as the boat is launched from the ramp at Crossing Rocks. The shallow water inlet is home to resident fish, from mudding schools to large single fish in double-digit sizes. A run though the mangrove creek from the inlet is exhilarating and builds the anticipation of days fishing. Fishing can begin as soon as the boat clears the creek. Schools of fish can be seen feeding in the bay and working the edges of the numerous islands.The wade fishing is exceptional in zone one with miles of firm bottom flats that drop off into deeper mud and grass flats. It would take weeks if not months to explore all that zone one has to offer in the extensive creek system that forms the southern reaches of the world famous Marls. To the West lies Big Mangrove Cay. This is a series of small cays surrounded by deep water and turtle grass flats. As the tide comes in typically feeding fish work the flats and numerous schools feed along the shore. Sharks and Barracuda are abundant and Permit can be seen in good numbers during the warmer months.

Zone 2 – Crossing Rocks Ramp southward to Sandy Point

Zone 2 is an 18-mile shoreline extending from Crossing Rocks to Sandy Point. Numerous islands, creeks and flats create an unlimited habitat for many species. Small to large bays form the shoreline providing cover in the wind to huge numbers of fish, including large schools of mudding or tailing fish along the shore and sometimes bonefish, jacks, and snappers all feeding together.

Zone 3 – Cross Harbour Flats

Cross Harbour Flats System comes directly out of the blue waters of Hole in the Wall making it one of the best flats in the Bahamas for really big fish. Large numbers of Permit and double digit bones can be seen regularly on this flat. This flat system would be accessed by trailoring 20-minutes from Schooner to Sandy Point, plus 20-minutes by boat.

Zone 4 – Blue Water and Ocean Flats

Blue water and ocean flats. The blue water fly fishing opportunities at Schooner are unprecedented. The
legendary blue water of Southern Abaco is only minutes from the mouth of the Schooner Bay Harbor. Dorado, Tuna, Billfish and many other species abound in this rich offshore environment. This blue water zone is virgin territory for anglers seeking the thrill of connecting with large ocean fish on the fly. When weather permits the run to Hole in the Wall can produce amazing opportunity to connect with some of the toughest fighting fish in the world as well as exploring ocean flats that hold very large bones and permit. The lodge does not currently have an offshore boat, but plans are in the works.

Zone 5 – Cherokee Sound

A 20-minute trailoring to Cherokee Sound will put our anglers in one of the best ocean flats on the planet. Lush turtle grass flats that intersect gin clear white sand flats have produced some Bonefish up to 14 lbs. This area will be the zone that receives the most pressure making the fish a bit more challenging to catch, however the numbers and size of these fish are legendary.

Zone 6 – Mores Island

Mores Island is the largest of some 10 -12 cays that sit on the edge of the northwest providence channel and comprises about a 20 sq. mile area of gorgeous bonefish habitat. Eighteen miles from the Crossing Rocks ramp, a 30-minute (weather dependent) run across relatively shallow water brings you to the edge of this fishing fantasy. The incoming tide brings large schools of bones onto the flats, including double-digit fish.

Mores Island is also noted as a Permit destination and with a summer run of Tarpon.

They sell Umpqua and Scientific Anglers tapered fluorocarbon leaders and tippet.

Non-Anglers:

Blackfly is first and foremost a fishing destination, however there’s a beautiful beach a short walk from the lodge and Marsh Harbour, the second largest city in the Bahamas is only 30-minutes away by car. Marsh Harbour has a good amount of shopping and there are a number of tourist activities to occupy non-fishing companions.

Andros South of South Andros, Bahamas, is located 15 minutes from the South Andros Airport in the southern section of the island and is a short distance from some of the finest bonefishing in the Bahamas. Andros South has access to literally hundreds of square miles of bone-white flats. Guests can fish nearby creeks, South Bight or vast ocean flats of the South and West coast of Andros for unlimited opportunities for trophy size bones as well as large numbers of  school size fish, which have seen relatively little fishing pressure.

Andros South has 10 clean and comfortable, air-conditioned rooms, each with tiled floors, telephones, cable television and private baths with showers. Situated in a quiet area and right on the ocean, a  refreshing swim on the beach can follow a day of fishing the flats, the nearby reef, or the deep blue water of the open ocean. Daily housekeeping is provided and laundry service is available as well. What sets Andros South apart from most lodges is that they offer Single Accommodations and sharing a boat/guide.

The South Bight

Regarded as one of the more scenic areas on the island, the South Bight has deeper channels and, as it is closer to the ocean, is home to some of the larger fish in the area as well.

Bonefish are fewer in numbers here, but, with its combination of bone-white flats, turquoise and emerald waters, fishing “The Bight” is a most memorable experience.

Little Creek

Just 5 minutes from the lodge, Little Creek is an extremely productive fishery with limitless wading opportunities and also connects guests to the vast flats of the West Coast. For those seeking more fishing time and the option for a run to the west, Little Creek is the perfect option. The west side of Andros is famous for its large bonefish. Most of the fishing done here consists of carefully stalking big, cruising doubles and singles from the bow of the skiff.

The South & West Coast

For anglers wishing to cast to a school of bonefish an acre in size, a visit to the south and west coasts of South Andros is a must. The flats here consist mostly of bright, hard sand, so this area is perfect for the wading enthusiast as well. In and around Jack Fish Cays, Water Cays, Curly Cut and Grassy Creek it is not uncommon to see schools of bonefish numbering in the hundreds. This region is the place to be if sheer numbers of fish is the goal of the day. The ocean flats of this area stretch nearly from horizon to horizon and fishing pressure is almost non-existent. Although requiring a 45 minute weather dependent boat ride, a visit to this area should be included in your week; wading adjacent to a “bone-ball” is unforgettable.

Inland Wading Andros South takes advantage of a close proximity to an incredibly vast network of inland flats and salt water lakes and ponds that can be loaded with fish under

certain conditions. When the tides are right, you may find yourself all alone amidst schools of landlocked bonefish feeding hungrily in ankle-deep water. These areas cannot be accessed by boat and are therefore rarely fished. The Andros South guides, however, have developed a unique and extensive knowledge of these fisheries and love sharing it with visitors to the lodge.

Tidal Creeks

Along the east coast of South Andros are a number of intricate tidal creek systems. Many large bones venture up these channels during the rising tide. These areas are close to the lodge, providing for longer fishing days. Deep Creek, one of many of the creek systems within minutes of Andros South Lodge, quickly opens to a 6-mile wide bay dotted with dozens of small islands, or cays. This area is the perfect spot for those looking for great fishing and a longer day on the flats. This is also a great spot to fish on windy days; there are countless leeward flats among these scattered islands.
