North Riding Point Club, Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas

North Riding Point Club is located on 6 acres of pristine, beach-front property on the southern shore of Grand Bahama about a 25 minute drive out of Freeport.

It offers spacious, luxurious accommodations in a quiet, spectacular oceanfront location, excellent gourmet food, and access to the best bonefishing you’ll ever experience. Grand Bahama Island is easy to reach from the US with direct flights arriving in Freeport, Grand Bahama from several eastern US cities. It is possible to reach Freeport (which is the next largest city in the Bahamas after Nassau) from California easily in one day.

You can find Grand Bahama Island at Approximately 26.52.13 North and 79.01.40 West on Google Earth. Grand Bahama has about 75,000 people (most centered in Freeport) in its 100 mile length (but only 17 miles at its widest place). It has come a long way from its Rum-running reputation in the early part of the last century to big bonefish reputation at the beginning of this century.

All along the northern shore of Grand Bahama Island swim some of the biggest bonefish in the oceans. The real draws to this area are the numbers and size of the bones and the lack of anglers. It is rare to see other anglers while you are fishing. Each day guides will pick you up at the Club drive you to what they think will be the best fishing on the island based on season, weather and water conditions. You are not locked into going to the same place every day. It is a very versatile place to fish.

Seasons

As with all places in the Bahamas and the Yucatan, the dead of winter is a little more susceptible to cold fronts which, if severe enough might put the bones off of the flats for short period or maybe even a day or two, but rarely longer than that. The good thing about this area is that big bones don't mind the cooler water temps as much as their smaller cousins, so the fish you do encounter during a cold front are likely to be trophy fish and when the weather is good (which is most of the time) the fishing is likely to be very good. The heat of mid summer sometimes will warm up the flats enough to make it uncomfortable for bones later in the day. So, fishing during these times will be very early in the day on the flats and then maybe the afternoons will be spent looking for other species in deeper waters. The rest of the year is very comfortable on the flats and all-day fishing can be expected.

Tarpon and permit are around in small numbers but are there, never-the-less, especially during late spring and summer months and are worth pursuing if your guide thinks it is worthwhile. So, you want to take tackle for these species if they are of interest to you. You'll want to take a #9 or 10 outfit for the permit and a #10 or 12 for the tarpon.

Getting There

Of all of the exotic places to fish for trophy-size bones and good numbers of 3 - 4 pounders, it is hard to come up with a place that is any easier to get to.

Freeport, Grand Bahama is served by several air lines with direct flights from many different US cities. Making it possible to get to the lodge from just about anywhere in the US in one day. Just think, you could be sitting in your home on a cold February day looking out of your window at a frozen landscape and be fishing in your shirtsleeves in temperatures of the low 80's the next day.

Lodging

North Riding Point Club is situated on six acres of land fronting onto a spectacular three-mile beach.

The main lodge and the guest cottages are spaced along the shoreline, each with its own access to the beach. All of the buildings are air-conditioned. The lodge contains the kitchen, dining room, lounge, bar, and one guest room. NRPC maintains a small tackle shop with a full line of flies, fly lines and leaders, polarized sunglasses, and other miscellaneous tackle for your convenience. We also offer hats, clothing and much more. There is also a small fly-tying station available in the tackle shop for tying that perfect pattern!

Fishing

The Bahamas are known for some of the best fishing in the world, and the island of Grand Bahama is no exception.

North Riding Point Club has access to the best bonefishing flats on both the north and south shores of Grand Bahama. The north shore of Grand Bahama has the largest bonefish habitat, comprising several hundred square miles of flats, inlets, and mangrove-covered cays literally teeming with large, wild bonefish. It is not uncommon to see dozens, if not hundreds, of fish in a single day.
