Bair's Lodge - Bahama, Congo Town, South Andros
Ideally situated in Little Creek, South Andros Island, midway between the South Bight and Grassy Creek, Bair's Lodge accesses some of the most remote flats, whilst also providing many sheltered location irrespective of wind direction.
Since men have fished for bonefish, Andros has been a name synonymous with the biggest fish, and South Andros has built a reputation over the years as being the location to try for a "giant".
Names like Grassy Creek, Deep Creek, Little Creek, the Water Cays and Curley Cut Cays are intrinsically linked to sight fish for some of the world's largest bonefish. Since the early 90's Bair's has become highly regarded as providing the best fishing South Andros has to offer, primarily for bonefish, with occasional tarpon and permit.
Ideally located to access Deep Creek, Little Creek, and the famous West side and Southern Cays, the lodge enjoys some of the most under-fished flats in Andros, in a context of easy access to wading flats and protected areas in the event of bad weather.
Species of Fish: Bonefish, permit, tarpon, and barracuda.
Lodging: Bair's has recently undergone a major remodel and infrastructure infusion, catapulting it to one of the nicest flats lodges we have ever experienced. Accommodating a maximum of eight guests per week; it is perfect for small groups of anglers looking for an upper scale experience. The charming main house features four smartly appointed, air-conditioned guest rooms each with its own private bathroom. Limiting the occupancy to eight anglers enables the staff to provide exceptional personal guest service and attention to detail. Superb cuisine includes beautifully prepared Bahamian specialties concentrating on magnificent fresh seafood and when applicable, "the catch of the day".
