with large, wild bonefish. It is not uncommon to see dozens, if not hundreds, of fish in a single day.

Grand Bahama is also the place to catch large bonefish - those trophy fish we all dream about - in excess of 10 pounds. Fish in the 10 - 12 pound range are fairly common. In March 2007 a record bonefish of 16 lbs was caught, one of our guests teetered on the brink of a new world record by landing a 15+ pound bonefish! The lodge estimates the average size of landed bonefish to be around 4 - 6 pounds - somewhat larger than the average you will find on most other bonefish flats around the world.

Each day you'll drive to one of several launch sites located less than 20 minutes away and spend the day on flats that seldom see anglers. Your lunches will be prepared according to your instructions from the lunch menu, left with the kitchen the previous night and the ice chest will be packed with your favorite refreshments.

The bonefish of this portion of Grand Bahama Island are large, and shots at trophy fish are common. The guides are excellent seasoned professionals, and are rated among the best in the Bahamas. There is some wading, though most of the flats that harbor large bonefish are better suited to poling.

The Club recommends flyfishing, although some of our guests choose spin fishing gear to pursue bonefish and other species. Most fishing is done from a poled 16' Dolphin boat with 85 hp Yamaha, although in several areas the wading is first-rate. The flats vary in nature; many exhibit a soft marl or mud bottom, while others support turtle grass, and still others consist of firm, white sand. In all, multiple species of shrimp, crabs, and other bonefish prey are plentiful.

Anglers wanting to take a break from bonefishing to pursue other species of fish on either fly or spin rod will find many choices. Permit are quite frequently encountered at various times of the year and tarpon are occasionally sighted. Multiple species, such as barracuda, several species of jack, small lemon and blacktip sharks, and snappers can be found in and around the flats that hold bonefish. For a different experience, nearby offshore reefs provide great action - a short boat ride from the Club will bring you there. The reefs around Grand Bahama hold dozens of species, among them the prized grouper, as well as jacks, snapper, sharks, mackerel, and amberjack.
