Fishing Vacations on Andros, Bahamas
Andros Bahamas is laced with thousands of miles of inland waterways and fishing flats. North, Middle and South Bights cut right through the island, east to west, creating a natural access to even more flats on the west side of the island. These provide world-class conditions for fly fishermen in pursuit of bonefish and tarpon.
Andros Island, with its 140-mile long reef and its extensive inland flats offers serious opportunities to spincasters and fly fishermen. Small Hope Bay Lodge has its own in-house guides and boats. We use a team of some of the best local guides to offer great Bahamas Bonefishing, Reef Fishing, and Deep Sea Fishing.
We believe it takes more than world-class conditions to have a world-class Bahamas fishing experience. Sure, we have bonefish! Great schools of them and thousands of miles of flats. Some tarpon, too. Serious fly fishermen come here and try to keep it all to themselves. We have great reef fishing; Grouper school in December and January, Mutton Snapper run in the summer. Dolphin, Mackerel, Wahoo and Tuna and more keep spincasters fed.
We also have great guides who have experience not just in fishing, but in catering to fishermen. They know the waters, and their boats are sound and properly equipped.
Then there's the food and drink. We believe in eating well -very well. We pack you a great lunch each day you go out to fish. And greet you with great drinks, appetizers, and dinner when you return.
At Small Hope Bay Lodge the non-fishermen in your family won't be bored while you head out to the flats, or out to sea. We offer a relaxed resort atmosphere with a full program of diving and snorkeling, and nature tours. We offer bicycles, kayaks, paddleboards, windsurfer, and a sailboat. We also have a hot tub on the beach, nature trails, open bar, and great food.
