Fishing Day

Prescott has perfected their program over the years and offers as solid a fly fishing program as we have ever experienced in an intimate and casual setting, all under an eye for details.

Their gracious staff is more than accommodating and the guides possess the skills necessary to be successful on the flats day in and day out.

Prescott and his highly qualified team of guides are some of the most accomplished and professional fly fishing guides and casting instructors we have ever fished with. These guys are more than just boat pushers; they understand the intricacies of bonefish behavior and are intimately familiar with the marine environs they work in every day. Wind, tides, currents, land structure, weather, moon phase, and anything that would affect fishing are all considered before heading off for a day of pursuing bonefish while fishing at Stafford Creek. In addition to developing and maintaining a world-class fishing program, Prescott has been proactive in protecting the bonefisheries of Andros Island and educating locals on the complexity and fragileness of this wonderful resource.

A typical fishing day at the lodge starts early in the morning. Coffee is ready in the lodge at 6:00 a.m. Breakfast will be served at 7:00 a.m. The lodge serves a hearty breakfast early each morning to get your day started right. Lunch on the boat includes sandwiches, fresh fruits, fresh lemonade, home made bread, and anything else you request, from lobster salad to ice tea, beers, Gatorade, or fresh home baked cookies all await you on the flats. The lodge's exceptional chef will meet all your taste bud needs! From fresh conch fritters to welcome you home from the days fishing, to sampling the finest seafood dishes, caught fresh from local waters.

Boats depart from the dock for the day between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. returning at approximately 4:00 p.m. These times may change due to tides, weather, fishing conditions or any other factor determining fishing success. Prescott claims they fish according to the fishing schedule not the meal times. Appetizers are ready on the deck at 5:00 p.m. and dinner is usually served at 6:30 p.m. In most cases, during or after dinner, the lodge owner Smith will discuss guide assignments and the fishing options for the following day.

We can't say enough about Prescott and his staff and the wonderful bonefishing holiday they deliver to each and every guest. This lodge has just about every thing going for it; strong fishery, great location, nice accommodations, great staff and most important, a commitment to customer satisfaction. Testament to this fact is that space at Stafford Creek Lodge is very tight, especially in the spring and fall. Advance reservations are strongly suggested.
