Little Abaco Bonefish Lodge is a 100% Bahamian owned and operated by one of the most respected fly fishing guides in the Caribbean
Based in the quaint fishing community of Crown Haven, with thirty miles of flats stretching to the south, and fifty miles of ocean-side islands and flats to the north west, the variety of fishing locations surrounding Little Abaco is unbeatable. The nearest fishing lodge on Abaco is nearly fifty miles away, so you are assured of unpressured fish and a seemingly endless variety of fishing locations.
Little Abaco Bonefish Lodge is owned and operated by master Bahamian guide Sidney Thomas and his wife Keeta. Sidney has an exceptional bonefishing history. Prior to Little Abaco, Sidney owned and operated Water Cay Bonefish Lodge, as well as working for many of the best lodges on Grand Bahama. Devoted and hardworking, Sidney is the “real deal” when it comes to guiding. Bonefishing is in his blood, and he’s honed his skills to the highest level.
In order to maintain the productivity of this vast habitat, Little Abaco Bonefish Lodge accommodates only six anglers per week. You will fish out of super shallow draft skiffs with veteran guides that call these waters home. A boat’s draft is an important issue in this area. Their skiffs float in just five inches of water, allowing the guides to reach areas that larger, heavier skiffs simply cannot. A day of hunting bonefish in one of these shallow draft skiffs over skinny water has to be experienced to be believed.
The flats surrounding Little Abaco are varied, including soft bottomed back-country lagoons, islands wrapped in hard white sand; lush turtle grass gardens, and everything in between. The guides of Little Abaco Bonefish Lodge can fish the tides on both sides of the island, as tides can vary by as much as four or five hours depending on location. They have a wide variety of fishing options to choose from, with the ability to pole miles of flats or walk and wade until your heart’s content. Depending on the tides, winds and conditions, Sidney and his guides can launch the boats within view of the lodge, or trailer the skiffs to other nearby regions of the island. To the west, east, and north lie some of the best bonefish habitat in all of the Bahamas. Previously difficult to access and demanding either a long boat ride from the east end of Grand Bahama Island or an hour drive from Marsh Harbour, this vast region of prime bonefish habitat is now the “home water” of the Little Abaco Bonefish Lodge!
