Fishing
at H2O Bonefishing
Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas
The guides are experienced fly fishers
who know the local waters and how to fish them.
If you need some “touch-up”
instructions or a more intensive fly fishing school, let
us know and we can get you signed up with a guide who loves to teach
and is capable of identifying the causes of casting problems and
getting your casts in line in short order.
You will be fishing from 17’
Maverick flats skiffs powered by 85 HP Yamaha engines.
Depending upon the season you arrive, you may be fishing for Tarpon
and/or Permit in addition to bonefish (averaging 2 1⁄2 - 4
pounds). You will spend your days looking for singles, doubles and
small groups of big bonefish. Or you might opt for a day on the
open waters Deep Sea Fly fishing for Yellowfin, Wahoo, Dorado (Mahi-Mahi),
Skipjack Tuna and Blackfin Tuna. Equipment is provided for this
specialized fly fishing. During the warmer months some will choose
to fish the flats early and for tarpon or permit in the afternoon
or go out to the deep water.
Breakfast is served at the
hotel each morning at 7:30 AM. Your guide will pick you up
on your fishing days at 8:30 AM for the short ride to the launch.
Productive fishing flats
can be reached within a few minutes , or your guide may decide to
run a little longer due
to prevailing weather or fishing conditions. If you wish to do some
wade fishing as well
as boat fishing, talk it over with your guide. Let him know your
wishes. If you are there
in the late spring or early summer you may want to fish for permit
or tarpon.
Lunch will be onboard the boat.
If you have any special wishes for lunch contents, make
them known the day before fishing so every effort can be made to
meet your requests.
You will return from fishing around 4:30PM. All boats are issued
mobile phones to be
used in the unlikely event of an emergency.
After showering and cleaning
rods and reels, anglers usually meet at the newly opened
Sabor Restaurant and Bar on the hotel premises for a cocktail and
fish stories before
Dinner; either at the restaurant, there, or visiting one of many
nearby local
establishments.
