Events & Programs

We have boat access to the North, Middle and South Bights, the north and south West Side, the eastern flats and the Southwest cays of Andros.

We are frequently asked if guides are assigned to certain areas to fish. The answer is no – the area is so vast there is no need for this restriction.

Your assigned guide will choose the flats you will fish from an almost unlimited number of options and his choices are based on tides, wind, weather and where experience tells him he will find fish.

Guides are rotated during your stay and you can generally expect a new guide to be assigned to you every third fishing day. The rotation is a good way to match guides with guests and provides the opportunity to enjoy favourites, different personalities and styles.

Most fishing is done from the bow of the boat giving you and your guide the elevation to see fish and the mobility to move from flat to flat.

Wading for Fish

There are times when wading is the preferred option. It may be your choice to wade alone or with your guide. Let your guide know and he can plan to include some time wading in your day.

Occasionally, wind can make fishing from the boat impractical and even getting to the flats uncomfortable. On these days we have the option of using The Big Boat (our 26’ twin hull with twin 150 hp engines) as a ferry to transport you and guides to lee shores and creeks for wading. This program has saved the day when many of our guests were resigned to a good book or a day at the tying table. These ventures can be very satisfying – in February of this year an 11# bonefish was caught, minutes from the lodge.

Southwest Side of Andros – Wading Trips

Under the right conditions, we also use The Big Boat for transport to the remote and seldom fished Southwest Side of Andros. The area is a vast collection of hard bottom and sandy flats that are home to huge schools of bonefish.  

The boat is operated by Captain Johnny Green and you are dropped off with your guide to wade the flats. Johnny stays with the boat and can be summoned to move you from flat to flat.

Rate is a surcharge of $650, from 1 to 6 anglers.

Casting Lessons

If you want to learn specific saltwater techniques or just brush up on your skills, casting lessons conducted by our guides are available.

Rate is $125 for 45 minutes, from 1 to 4 anglers.

Fishing off of the Dock

Shark visit the area around the dock in front of the lodge on a regular basis, encouraged by regular chumming. We have had many hook ups and some landings of bulls, black tips, lemons and nurse sharks. We bait up heavy spinning reels with chunks of fish, cast it our and let it sit. You can watch the sharks coming in and searching for the bait. When they pick it up, the fight is on.
