Top Choice may be the best value in Saltwater Fly Fishing
Bain’s Top Choice Bonefish Lodge, Acklins Island, Bahamas is positioned at (22°32’13.41” N | 73°52’34.00” W), four hundred and fifty four miles south east of Miami. With Crooked Island forming the northern rim of the atoll, and Acklins the easterly rim, the interior covers better than two hundred and thirty square miles. Acklins Island itself offers more than fifty miles of flats and shorelines; ideal bonefish habitat.
This is one of the least-visited fisheries in the Bahamas, and about as far south as you can go without landing on the Turks and Caicos. The southerly location is significant when you consider the weather patterns that bring winters chill and harsh winds to the northern Bahamas. If you enjoy wading into position to make a precise presentation up close and personal, then this fishery should not be overlooked. It’s a wade fisherman’s dream, with shallow hard sand, crushed coral, and solid marl flats extending for miles.
Acklins Island is a multi-species destination, similar to what you would find at Christmas Island or the Indian Ocean fisheries. In addition to bonefish, there are healthy populations of permit, triggerfish, snapper, jacks and barracuda to pursue. This is an ideal location for anglers looking to check off some flats fishing species from their bucket list.
