Mangrove Cay Club - Middle Bight, Andros Island, Bahamas
The first time flying over Andros on your way to Mangrove Cay Club will leave you with the feeling that you are about to be dropped off on one of the most deserted places on the planet, yet later that same day you will find your self amongst others with similar interests, discussing tomorrow's fishing possibilities and enjoying a dinner that you would expect to find at one of New York's finest restaurants. That is the beauty of Mangrove Cay Club. Close enough to the United States to have all of the comforts, yet far enough away from the masses to allow total relaxation within hours of arrival.
Their vision was to develop more comfortable accommodations, finer quality meals, more attentive service and more attention to detail than had ever been seen in Andros before. Who says one has to give up comfort to experience this fishery?
Mangrove Cay Club is located on the northern shore of Mangrove Cay inside the Middle Bight of Andros Island, accessing the North, Middle and South Bights and the remote West side. This ability to travel in all directions without ever having to trailer a boat or run in the open ocean enables the guides to plan their day around the changing tides or to fish the lee shores.
Courtesy of Mangrove Cay Club Eight identical suites with verandas overlooking the sea are contained in four duplex cottages spread along the shoreline. Tropical landscaping around the cottages is complemented by natural vegetation on the 10-acre property. Each suite provides spacious and comfortable accommodation for two fishermen, with two queen-sized beds, air conditioning and ceiling fans, plenty of storage space, and an adjoining sitting room that allows the early-riser to prepare for the day without disturbing a roommate. There are fresh water spigots and rod racks outside every room facilitates cleaning and storage of tackle.
The waterfront setting allows guests to simply walk from the dining room to the dock for departure. A fully equipped 16-ft Dolphin Skiff with a 90 HP motor will be waiting to take you to any corner of this vast fishery, quickly and comfortably. Each of the areas you will be fishing has trophy potential as well as opportunities to cast to school a average-sized bones in the 3 – 4 pound range. But as has often proved the case, a chance at one of Andros’s large bonefish is just as likely to be found five minutes from the dock as it is on the remote West Side.
Most of the fishing is done over soft bottomed flats, so you will be casting most of time from the bow of the skiff while the guide points out your fish, and calls the distance to you. But, there are a few wading flats to get out of the boat to stretch your legs if you wish. Bonefish are the target fish, but there are some jacks, barracuda, tarpon and permit around occasionally.
