Andros South, Andros Bahamas - Bahamas Flyfishing

This part of Andros Island is far off the beaten path and anglers interested in a remote bonefish adventure should take a serious look at Andros South Lodge.

Andros South (Google Earth at: 24°00’33.10″N and 77°31’53.88″W) is located just north of Little Creek, where their boats are moored for quick and easy access to both Little and Deep Creek, the fabled Westside with its large ocean bonefish and all of the south-end cays, creeks and flats. Their location couldn’t be better. The southern tip of Andros Island, beyond Mars Bay, is a vast, uninhabited, trackless saltwater frontier, with little fishing pressure and few humans. These waters are home to giant schools of hungry, unsophisticated bonefish as well as trophy, double-digit singles – the trademark of Andros Island.

On a recent trip to Andros South, we waded 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 bonefish. 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.

Seasons

Andros South Lodge is open from October through May, preferring to close during the summer months.

Their whole season is prime time on the flats with exception of the few cold fronts that can creep in during winter. And even then, it would have to be a severe storm that would knock this lodge out of fishing. They keep their boats moored at Little Creek for quick access to sheltered waters and flats to the west where even in poor conditions, one can find plenty of fish to cast to. This lodge is filled most of its open days from repeat guests. They enjoy the relaxed, casual atmosphere of the lodge and the great fishing in the creeks, on the west side (home of monster bonefish 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.

Getting There

Getting to the Bahamas from the States, especially from the East Coast, is relatively simple and painless.

One convenient and direct option is a private charter flight from Fort Lauderdale directly to the Congo Town Airport, where anglers can clear immigration and customs, transfer to the lodge and often be fishing on the morning of arrival. Charter flights also make it possible to arrive quickly and comfortably to the lodge in a single day from practically anywhere in the country. And charter costs for 4, 6, or 8 anglers actually are quite competitive when compared to commercial flights.

Lodging

Andros South is a friendly, laid-back bonefishing lodge that concentrates on providing a fishing experience that is second to none. If you are looking for white linen tablecloths, you should look elsewhere.

If you're looking for a very comfortable place to spend the week fishing, relaxing and enjoying a remote, quiet island in the Bahamas, you've come to the right place.

The lodge is situated on a beautiful white sand beach, taking advantage of the intoxicating trade winds of the Bahamas. Take a relaxing swim each evening, or maybe a walk or a run. You may even want to wade in with your fly rod and hone your casting skills while gazing out at azure blue water. There are also hungry barracuda and the occasional large bonefish cruising along the white sand. If you find yourself in need of a longer beach to run on, you can head just north of the marina/public dock and find yourself on a white sand beach that stretches as far as you can see.

Fishing

At Andros South, they pride themselves on employing the best professional guides and investing in the best possible gear to ensure your trip exceeds your expectations. Your enjoyment and safety are their top priorities.

You will find that their guides know exactly how to fit the experience to your skill set and your fishing objectives. You'll also find that their top-notch equipment ensures your safe, comfortable enjoyment of the bounties of the South Andros flats.

South Andros is flanked to the east by The Tongue of the Ocean, a deep-water trough that drops to more than five thousand feet not more than a mile offshore. Along the edge of the drop lies the third largest barrier reef in the world. South Andros Island itself is riddled with innumerable tidal creeks and inland flats, all home to hundreds of thousands of hungry bonefish.
