H2O Bonefishing
Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas
First and foremost, H2O Bonefishing
is about flats fishing for bonefish.
Greg Vincent chose to base
his guiding operations out of Freeport, Grand Bahama Island because
of its proximity to big numbers of big bones. Not because
of the world class tourist amenities available in this lively city
of around 35,000 people. It turns out to be the perfect relationship
of flats wilderness and tourist activities that keeps serious anglers
and serious non-anglers returning year after year. The base camp
is at the luxurious Pelican Bay at Lucaya.
Grand Bahama Island is located
about 60 miles off of the east coast of Florida. It is one
of the northernmost islands of the Bahamas. The international airport
is located at Freeport and is easy to get to with many direct flights
from the US. It has weather similar to southeast Florida (maybe
a little warmer in the winter and a little cooler during the summer)
so makes a perfect year around fishing getaway. In addition to the
flats fishing, there is deep water fishing later in the spring and
summer months. There are miles and miles of flats to be fished by
wading and from a boat along its shores. During the late spring
and summer anglers have choices of skinny-water flats, deeper flats
and channels for tarpon and permit and off-shore fishing. The guides,
boats and accommodations are all top notch.
