THE BAHAMAS - ABACO
The Fishing
This area of the Bahamas offers great fishing opportunities both for numbers of bonefish and size. The average bonefish are 3-6 pounds,with larger fish being a common catch. Permit, snapper, jacks and barracuda also inhabit this area and can be an added challenge.
You will enjoy fishing some of the extensive flats that create the fishing environment around Sandy Point. There are about 50 miles of uninhabited coastline from Sandy Point up to Coopers Town. The flats here are beautiful white sand, with some turtle grass. You will find opportunities to both wade the firmer flats, and fish from the boat on some of the softer flats.
You may also have the opportunity to fish both Gorda Cay and Moore's Island during your trip depending on weather conditions. These islands are surrounded by beautiful white sandy flats that are home to schools of bonefish. Seeing a hundred fish tailing on a flat in the setting sun is something I will never forget.
