Bair’s lodge is situated on the east side of South Andros, between Deep Creek and Little Creek.


These two creeks, a 5-minute boat ride from the lodge, open into vast areas of inland flats that are not only easily waded but offer relief from the coastal winds. Anglers fly into Congo Town on South Andros Island by a one-hour flight from Miami or a 20 minute flight from Nassau. The transfer from the airport to the lodge takes twenty minutes. There, they are greeted by the staff and shown to one of the nicest lodges on saltwater. Its repeat business attests to it’s quality of service, comfort and fishing. It is necessary to book early to get prime winter and spring time dates.

For years, the keys, flats, creeks and bights of South Andros have earned a reputation for being lightly fished and for containing large fish. Bair's Lodge is perfectly situated to access these waters and has come to represent an Andros Island benchmark in terms of quality guiding, delicious food, ideal accommodations and courteous hospitality. The bonefish flats of South Andros are some of the most under-fished flats in the Bahamas and Bair's is right in the middle of them.

Ocean side flats at Bair's are big fish environments and are fished from poled flats skiffs. Depending on weather, tides, and prevailing winds, anglers each morning have the choice of fishing for school-size bonefish that average 3 - 4 pounds inside or venturing outside to fish the open water flats where the fish can reach trophy proportions. Classic sight fishing for bonefish is the main focus at Bair's; however, anglers may see and get the occasional shot at permit, and even tarpon. There's quite a bit of wading available during the right tides, and off-shore fishing for wahoo, tuna, snapper, or dolphin fish can be arranged, in advance, as well.

The Tongue Of The Ocean is a deep ocean trench that runs along the eastern coast of Andros Island just east of the third longest barrier in the world. Fishing there can be accessed through Bair’s deep-sea program for wide assortment of seasonal and resident deep water and reef fishes.

Another more convenient and direct option is a private charter flight from Fort Lauderdale directly to the Congo Town Airport where anglers can clear immigrations and customs, transfer to the lodge and often be fishing on the morning of arrival. Charter flights also make it possible to arrive quickly and comfortably in at the lodge in a single day from practically anywhere in the country. And charter costs for 4, 6, or 8 anglers actually are quite competitive when compared to commercial flights.
