You must purchase a BAHAMIAN FISHING LICENSE to fish legally
Many of our readers and friends ask about DIY and fishing licenses. All visiting anglers, non-Bahamians, must purchase a flats fishing license to fish with a Bahamian guide and or to fish on you own. Click here to go to the Bahamas government page to purchase your license online. Also, while on the site you can access a copy of the Bahamian fishing regulations.
We know many anglers love to fish on their own, and a number of anglers can't afford to fish with a guide every day....but we highly recommend that you fish with Bahamian guides as much as you can. We fish with Bahamian guides, many of whom are our long-time friends, every day we fish in the Bahamas. See the island pages for the guides and lodges we recommend. Or drop us an email to ask for additional recommendations.
