World-class flats fishing in pristine waters
South Andros offers what many consider the finest bonefishing in the Bahamas—endless flats, healthy populations of trophy-sized fish, and vast areas that see minimal fishing pressure.
Miles of unspoiled flats with crystal-clear water provide ideal conditions for sight fishing. The extensive flat systems range from ankle-deep skinny water to deeper channels and basins.
South Andros is known for large bonefish. Fish in the 8-10 pound range are regularly encountered, and double-digit fish are a real possibility on any given day.
From ocean-side flats to protected creeks, from white sand bottoms to turtle grass beds, South Andros offers diverse fishing environments to match any condition.
Unlike more developed fishing destinations, South Andros's remoteness means less fishing pressure. Fish are often more willing and less spooked.
Bonefishing in South Andros is primarily sight fishing—stalking visible fish in shallow water. Your guide will pole the skiff or walk with you across the flats, spotting fish and positioning you for casts. Success requires stealth, accurate casting, and reading fish behavior.
