Andros South Lodge

flats that had rarely if ever been fished before, targeting small and medium size schools of bonefish that averaged 2 1/2 - 4 pounds. It was truly an unbelievable day as school after school was encountered - all day long. While there are lots of fish on the flats most of the time, they are not totally stupid. You still have to stalk, cast, present the fly and fight fish correctly to successfully land these strong bones. But, when you blow a cast and spook a fish (or the whole school) it is not the end of the world. There will be other shots at other fish. The guides grew up in this area and know their playground well. There is not a tide you cannot fish. One flat or another will be perfect at just about any time of the day.

They enjoy the relaxed, casual atmosphere of the lodge and the great fishing in the creeks, on the west side (home of monster bones and some big tarpon) and in the flats wilderness of the island's south end. There are flats there that don't see anglers for years at a time.

Andros is proud of their kitchen staff and rightly so. While specializing in seafood you'll sample many other great dishes too, like the lodge's famous jerk chicken and ribs. During your stay you will be treated to all the best, fresh seafood our bountiful waters have to offer. From fresh fish, to lobster and conch, you are guaranteed to enjoy it all.

You will enjoy a variety of dishes, with an emphasis on traditional Bahamian cooking. The main dish is always complimented with rich, flavorful side dishes and topped off with a variety of truly sinful desserts. You definitely won't go hungry here. Homemade key lime pie, anyone?

Located right on the beach is our tiki bar that we affectionately call 'The Slack Tide'. This is a favorite spot to enjoy the beach, the breeze and drinks and appetizers at the end of your fishing day.There is a capacity of ten anglers.

island's endless, diverse flats, the opportunities are boundless. You want to fish to giant schools of hungry bonefish? No problem. Have your sights set on casting to large tailing bones? We can make it happen.

Expect to fish to schools of bonefish that average 2 to 4 pounds, with larger fish always swimming with the school. You will also have many shots at tailing and cruising bonefish ranging from 5 to 10 pounds plus. These opportunities will come while wading hard sand and marl flats or being poled along in one of our fully equipped flats skiffs. We're not big on keeping score, but expect some days where you lose count of the number of bones you hook and land.

If you grow tired of catching bonefish during your stay with us there are other fishes to target. Large, aggressive barracuda are plentiful and hungry. If you have never experienced the explosive strike of a "cuda", be prepared for your heart to stop. If you've never had the chance to tackle a shark on a fly rod, be prepared for your arms to fall off. Finally, through the week you may find the opportunity to cast to willing jacks, tarpon, permit and snapper. Reef structures, blue holes, mangrove creeks and the flats themselves offer shots at a variety of the bonus species. While the bonefish gets top billing here on South Andros, there are many other fishing opportunities available on your trip.
