First and foremost, H2O Bonefishing is about flats fishing for bonefish!
Jason Franklin chose to base his guiding operations out of Freeport, Grand Bahama Island because of its proximity to big numbers of big bones. Not because of the world class tourist amenities available in this lively city of around 27,000 people. It turns out to be the perfect relationship of flats wilderness and tourist activities that keeps serious anglers and serious non-anglers returning year after year. The base camp is at the nicely appointed Pelican Bay Resort at Lucaya.
Grand Bahama Island is located about 60 miles off of the east coast of Florida. It is one of the northernmost islands of the Bahamas. The international airport is located at Freeport and is easy to get to with many direct flights from the US. It has weather similar to southeast Florida (maybe a little warmer in the winter and a little cooler during the summer) so makes a perfect year around fishing getaway. In addition to the flats fishing, there is deep water fishing later in the spring and summer months. There are miles and miles of flats to be fished by wading and from a boat along its shores. During the late spring and summer anglers have choices of skinny-water flats, deeper flats and channels for tarpon and permit and off-shore fishing. The guides, boats and accommodations are all top notch.
