Fishing Day

Here at Andros South, we pride ourselves on employing the best professional guides and investing in the best possible gear to ensure your trip exceeds your expectations.

Your enjoyment and safety are our top priorities.

You will find that our guides know exactly how to fit the experience to your skill set and your fishing objectives. You'll also find that our top-notch equipment ensures your safe, comfortable enjoyment of the bounties of the South Andros flats.

South Andros is flanked to the east by The Tongue of the Ocean, a deep-water trough that drops to more than five thousand feet not more than a mile offshore. Along the edge of the drop lies the third largest barrier reef in the world. South Andros Island itself is riddled with innumerable tidal creeks and inland flats, all home to hundreds of thousands of hungry bonefish.

Variety is most definitely the spice of life here on South Andros. There are miles and miles of easily-waded white sand flats as well as hidden, unspoiled mangrove creeks peppered with large singles and doubles. Inland lakes fill up with eager schools of bonefish on the change of every tide. Expansive ocean-side flats attract bruisers from the deep (no, that's no shark - it's a bonefish, mon - cast now!). Remote, rarely visited cays are home only to schools of bonefish numbering in the thousands. The diversity and size of the fishery mean a completely different fishing experience every day of your trip.

South Andros Island is widely known as the Bonefishing Capital of the World. With the island's endless, diverse flats, the opportunities are boundless. You want to fish to giant schools of hungry bonefish? No problem. Have your sights set on casting to large tailing bones? We can make it happen.

Expect to fish to schools of bonefish that average 2 to 4 pounds, with larger fish always swimming with the school. You will also have many shots at tailing and cruising bonefish ranging from 5 to 10 pounds plus. These opportunities will come while wading hard sand and marl flats or being poled along in one of our fully equipped flats skiffs. We're not big on keeping score, but expect some days where you lose count of the number of bones you hook and land.

If you grow tired of catching bonefish during your stay with us there are other fishes to target. Large, aggressive barracuda are plentiful and hungry. If you have never experienced the explosive strike of a "cuda", be prepared for your heart to stop. If you've never had the chance to tackle a shark on a fly rod, be prepared for your arms to fall off. Finally, through the week you may find the opportunity to cast to willing jacks, tarpon, permit and snapper. Reef structures, blue holes, mangrove creeks and the flats themselves offer shots at a variety of the bonus species. While the bonefish gets top billing here on South Andros, there are many other fishing opportunities available on your trip.
