NEWS AND UPDATES NEW OPTION on Mangrove Cay, Andros - Swain's Cay Lodge. You can choose from beachfront and oceanview suites or gardenview rooms. You can fish the beachfront on your own, hire an independent guide, go snorkeling, diving, kayaking, or just hang out and catch some rays. A nice option for those who don't want a bonefishing lodge program. New independent guide option on Mangrove Cay: Alvin Greene has years of experience guiding the Middle and South Bights and the West Side. Click here to visist Alvin's web site. NEW at Sandy Point, Abaco - Black Fly Bonefishing Lodge, operated by Nervous Waters, same company that operates Bair's and Abaco Bonefish Lodge. If you want to fish Sandy Point, Moore's Island and the Southern Marls this is a grea upscale option. Like all Nervous Waters Lodges, there is a focus on lodge comfort, excellent food, and quality boats. There are still dates available for the spring season, but you need to book soon to fish this exciting location. Please contact Kim for more information, and to book your spots at this exciting new bonefishing location NEW Long Island Bonefishing Lodge - Deadman's Cay. This new lodge is operated by Nevin "Pinky" Knowles and while they have a traditional guided fishing program, they really want to promote "assisted" DIY. So your guide takes you to the flats, drops you off, picks you up at lunch, take you to another flat, drops you off, and then picks you up at the end of the day to return to the lodge. Other DIY highlights include kayak trips into the mangrove creek areas. Conact Pinky directly through their web site or call him at: 1-242-472-2609. THE DELHI CLUB, at Rolling Harbour, Abaco is a new luxury bonefishing lodge/hotel on the Atlantic coast, southof Winding Bay, with stunning views of the beach and the ocean. Designed in the style of an 18th century colonial plantation house, the 8 bedroom lodge sits high on a bluff above the beach. The lodge is operated normally by renting rooms, like a hotel, but the entire house can be rented for private groups. Reservations are normally Saturday to Saturday. Anglers can book guides to fish the Marls, plus there is fishing you can do on your own if you have a rental car. We suggest a rental car at this location. Non-anlgers will be more than comfortable, with a variety of acitivities available. The restaurant (and chef) are excellent, with dining on the fancy side, and the bar is well-stocked. BIG CHARLIE'S LODGE on Cargill Creek - One of our favorite guides of all time--Charlie Neymour makes every day on the water fun. Charlie, and his wife, Fatiah, have moved from Nottages Cottages, and now have their own comfortable lodge on Cargill Creek. Aside from great bonefishing, tarpon fishing, and reef fishing, Charlie also offers camps out trips to the West Side for wild boar hunting and wing shooting. You can book Charlie and some of the other best independent guides on Andros by emaling Kim directly. Please note: If you are looking for the best possible "serious fishing" trip, staying here and fishing with Charlie and our other independent guides is our Number One recommendation in The Bahamas. We guarantee you will love this fishing experience.
The club sits on a remote creek on Andros's uninhabited West Side, in a sprawling bay known as Wide Open. Large schools of bonefish roam the white sand flats from Pretty Creek to Williams island, though you don't have to go far to catch fish. We've had days of 40 plus bones just fishing the shoreline right outside the home creek. And if you're looking for big bones, those double digit monsters roam the outer sand bank not more than fifteen minutes from the lodge. Tarpon fishing is also excellent, and its not uncommon to get shots at permit. For wing-shooters, the dove and duck hunting is fabulous. Fishing season in October 1 to June 31, and shooting season is October 15 to March 31. E-mail Kim for more details and booking information. Captain Jack's Restaurant and Bar - The bright and clean pastel blue painted restaurant is located on the beach at North Palmetto Point, south of Gov. Harbour. It's a fun casual spot for a good lunch or dinner, with the usual fare of fresh fish (the Mahi Mahi and crab stuffed grouper are outstanding), conch any way you like it, burgers, a spicy lobster wrap (try this), a good selection of salads and desserts. The lively bar serves potent tropical concoctions and "specialty drinks" to put you in the island mood. If you are in the area on a Sunday, don't miss the pig roast barbecue with live music and dancing on the beach. There are also rental bungalows that go for about $150 USD per night, and a new development called Paradise Sands. This place is building about 50 villas, but they are cookie cutter pre-fab, so nothing special.
