Hurricane Dorian devastated the Bahamas, the fishing flats, and the communities. There is an ecological crisis due to a BP Oil Spill and the loss of life is catastrophic. The Pinder brothers of Grand Bahama Bonefishing are alive and slowly recovering what they can in the aftermath.

OUR LOCATION 

We are located in the northern Bahamas on the island of GRAND BAHAMA.

WE ARE KNOWN FOR HAVING SOME OF THE LARGEST BONEFISH IN THE WORLD

Customers who have fished with us agree that the average size of bonefish is impressive with many setting their personal best records with us here at h2obonefishing. Our average size of bonefish is in the  4+ lb range with almost daily encounters with fish in the 6 lb to 8 lb range. True double digit bonefish should be a realistic goal for all our clients and everyone fishing with us should always be prepared for those encounters.

A Guide to Fly Fishing Grand Bahama

Grand Bahama has long been one of Yellow Dog's favorite places to travel to for ease of access, the inviting culture, and the vastness of undisturbed saltwater flats. Long considered one of the best locations in the world for bonefish , Grand Bahama is also home to a larger proportion of big bonefish than other Bahamian islands.

Yellow Dog works with three lodge operations on Grand Bahama, each with its own appeal and personality. While many operations in The Bahamas are geared toward the committed angler traveling alone or with fishing friends, Grand Bahama is a family or companion-friendly island. Ample non-angling opportunities, mile after mile of jaw-dropping beaches, and some of the finest and most experienced saltwater fly fishing guides in The Bahamas make it a destination you cannot miss.

Geography of Grand Bahama

Only fifty-five miles from the coast of Florida, Grand Bahama is the northernmost island in The Bahamas and runs east to west for ninety miles. The island is divided along its center, referred to as West and East Grand Bahama. The second most populous city in The Bahamas, Freeport, sits on the island's western side, while most of the eastern portion is uninhabited. While most visitors assume Freeport is the capital, it is actually West End--the oldest settlement on the island and located at the western tip.

The north shore of Grand Bahama comprises many creeks, cays, and flats, creating hundreds of miles of fishable shoreline along white sandy beaches. The beaches here are easy to reach and generally promise an abundance of solitude amongst remarkable views of tropical seas.

Grand Bahama Highway is the primary road on the island, and stretches from Freeport along the south shore of Grand Bahama, eventually ending at the East End. The oceanside of the south shore offers an abundance of stark-white sand flats amongst dazzling turquoise water. Some of the most stunning flats reside on the south shore, and with close proximity to deeper water, these flats offer anglers access to some of Grand Bahama's largest bonefish.

The island's eastern end contains a series of "bights" or divisions through the island where saltwater runs freely with the tide. The resulting cays create a patchwork of creeks, flats, and estuaries where guides can access the optimal tide no matter the time of day. This area makes up what is known as "the horn" of the island, an apt name when studied from a map.

Fly Fishing Grand Bahama

Choosing a bonefish destination in The Bahamas can be a tough task, and depends on what the angler is looking to get out of the trip. Grand Bahama just about ticks every box in terms of offering top-class accommodations, non-angling opportunities, and excellent fishing.

One of the most attractive qualities of Grand Bahama is both an abundance of bonefish, but also more opportunities for big bonefish. Fish in the four to six-pound range are very common, and bonefish hitting the ten-pound mark are more common than in other fisheries. If you compare Grand Bahama to other popular bonefishing destinations such as Belize or Mexico , the fish tend to be larger--and sometimes less picky.

Grand Bahama is an excellent option for both skiff-based angling and wading. Since most of the island comprises pristine sand flats or corral bottoms, wading isn't a problem when searching for tailing fish in skinny water. In these situations, anglers should be prepared to utilize longer leaders, make delicate presentations , and make the first cast count .

When fishing the island's west side, guides can utilize both the flats of the north shore, around the West End, and the south shore depending on tidal conditions. Anglers can expect to fish over turtle grass, coral, and white sand, depending on the tide.

grand bahamas fishing trips

The western portion around Freeport is our favorite location on Grand Bahama for anglers traveling with family or perhaps looking to take advantage of the amenities within Freeport. H20 Bonefishing & Pelican Bay Resort , located right off the beach, strikes a perfect balance in top-shelf accommodations, an abundance of non-angling opportunities, and immediate access to the flats of Grand Bahama.

Heading eastward, North Riding Point Club is a thirty-minute drive down Grand Bahama Highway. The guides here utilize trailers to haul skiffs a short ride away to ensure anglers are always fishing optimal tides. The benefit of Grand Bahama's geography means traveling from one point to another is a short ride, and anglers can dedicate the bulk of their day to fishing. The lodge fishes both the north and south shores of the island, offering diversity in fishing habitat and scenery.

At the furthest point of Grand Bahama Highway, East End Lodge is perfectly positioned for fishing the horn of the island. The bights running through the end of this area grant anglers the best fishing schedule on offer at Grand Bahama. While most destination saltwater trips are highly impacted by moon phases , guides at East End Lodge can keep you fishing in the optimal zones. Furthermore, the bights of the east end allow guides to station anglers on the leeward side of the cays in heavy winds.

Given Grand Bahama's close proximity to deeper water, both larger bonefish and permit are around. If you are looking to combine stellar bonefishing with opportunities for permit during the warmer months, Grand Bahama should be near the top of the list. The permit on Grand Bahama might be fewer in numbers but are generally large fish--ranging from twenty to upwards of forty pounds. Along with the larger-than-average permit, anglers can also target barracuda, sharks, jacks, snapper, and several other species.

Opportunities for tarpon begin in the spring and can last through the summer months. While not a prolific tarpon fishery , both juvenile and large migratory fish can be found.

grand bahamas fishing trips

How to Get There

Grand Bahama is the easiest flats fishing destination to reach in the Bahamas, due to the numerous direct daily flights from Miami, West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Atlanta, and several other U.S. cities to Freeport’s Grand Bahama International Airport (FPO). You can arrive and depart on any day of the week.

Gear and Flies for Grand Bahama

The most common setup for bonefishing is a 9-foot, 8-weight with a floating line. At times, during windy conditions, a 9-weight is useful, while a 7-weight would suffice on calmer days.

For permit, a 9-foot, 9-weight with floating line is ideal, while a 10-weight would provide a good balance for resident tarpon and the larger migratory fish. A floating and intermediate line is ideal for tarpon fishing.

Jeff Currier offers some great tips for setting up your bonefish leaders, depending on the scenario and conditions.

Flies for Bonefish: Bonefish flies should primarily have bead-chain eyes, with a few heavier and unweighted flies available depending on water depth.

  • Gotcha (4-8)
  • Gotcha Legs (4-8)
  • Crazy Charlie (4-8)
  • Mantis Shrimp (4-6)
  • Spawning Shrimp (4-6)
  • Squimp (2-6)

Flies for Tarpon:

  • Tarpon Toad (1/0-1)
  • Black Death (2/0-1)
  • Clouser (2/0-1/0)

Flies for Permit: Crab and shrimp patterns in various sink rates are key, with small, medium, and heavy lead eyes. Some examples are:

  • Strong-Arm Merkin (1-2)
  • Raghead (2-6)
  • Danger Muffin (2-4)
  • Merkin (2-4)

Why Grand Bahama?

Dorian: On September 1st, 2019, a category five hurricane, Dorian, landed on the island of Abaco and Grand Bahama. The hurricane was the strongest in recorded history in The Bahamas and decimated long-established homes, businesses, and the Bahamian landscape. Hundreds of lives were lost, and many residents lost everything they own. East End Lodge, for example, was wiped from the map and was recently rebuilt. The combined damage and loss of revenue is well into the billions and means your trip will offer fantastic fishing and benefit the people of Grand Bahama on their path toward recovery.

Tidal Advantages: Due to Grand Bahama's unique topography, proximity to deep water, and bights on the east end, anglers have more flexibility with the tides. Instead of planning an entire destination trip around the moon phases, anglers can travel to Grand Bahama and expect to find fish when fishing with one of our lodge partners.

Big Bonefish/Permit: The abundance of deeper and cooler water around Grand Bahama means bonefish are generally larger, in addition to offering some of the best opportunities for permit in The Bahamas . Grand Bahama should be at the top of any angler's list looking to target trophy bonefish, both from a skiff or wading.

Non-Angling Options: Grand Bahama's western half offers fantastic options for anglers traveling with family, friends, or on a couple's trip. Whether looking to enjoy the town of Freeport, a spa treatment, a round of golf, or lounge along the remarkable beaches, there are plenty of options that other Bahamian islands cannot offer.

grand bahamas fishing trips

Whether you're booking your first saltwater destination trip or are an experienced traveler, Grand Bahama is an excellent choice. We have developed relationships with the guides, lodge owners, and lodge staff of Grand Bahama for decades and rank it as one of our favorite locations for chasing the grey ghost and for a wonderful off-the-water experience. Yellow Dog looks forward to planning your next destination trip to Grand Bahama or one of the hundreds of lodges we partner with all over the globe.

Freeport, Bahamas Fishing Charters

When people think of the Bahamas, Grand Bahama Island often comes to mind. Freeport on the island is one of the most popular destinations. It is a tax haven, hence the name. Freeport is also a great place to fish. Tourism is a major economic engine. Freeport is about 70 miles east of West Palm Beach. Access to the island is by boat, ferry or plane. The airport is just outside the city limits, making access very easy from mainland Florida. Several miles of beaches line the southern edge. The city has two golf courses, plenty of restaurants and other sites to see. Freeport is a great place to spend a long weekend or a whole vacation. If you are headed to the Bahamas to fish, be sure to read our comprehensive guide "Fishing the Bahamas – What You Need to Know" . It covers methods of entry, exit, fishing regulations and how to bring your catch back.

Freeport, Bahamas Inshore Fishing

Inshore fishing right out of Freeport is limited to the thin band of shallows off the beaches. The beach-side shallows extend from a few hundred feet to nearly a mile from depending on where you are. These waters are home to barracuda, sharks, bonefish, permit, mackerel and more. David Brown says chasing bones in the white sand beach surf is actually easier than stalking them in the north-side flats. "That said, beaches offer the advantage of a constant sideline to help contain the fish, plus an environment in which they’re a little less spooky. In shallow backwaters, you can barely exhale without sending bones into orbit. Not that excessive noise is acceptable for the beach, but fish are noticeably more tolerant when they have instant access to the safety of deep water," he wrote in Discover the Outdoors. This being the Bahamas, Florida's shore-based shark fishing regulations do not apply. However, use some common sense and be courteous. Bahamas beaches are often packed with people, few of whom are interested in seeing you wrestle a several-hundred-pound shark to the sand and then set it free. Tying into a blacktip is exciting because these fish leap from the water and spin. They hit topwater plugs like the lure did something to their family. Because they are shallow-water sharks, they also fall victim to big streamer pattern flies . Trolling off the beaches where the water is too deep for most swimmers will connect anglers with cruising fish like mackerel and larger sharks. To get to the flats for inshore fishing, you have to go around to the north-end of the island. Here, the fly fishing opportunities excel. At the same time, the fish are warier than on the south side. These flats attract fly fishermen from around the world who want to pit their skills against bonefish. To the west, the island is broken into sections with natural channels separating the sections. These natural funnels provide some exciting fishing action when the tides are moving water through them.

grand bahamas fishing trips

Freeport, Bahamas Offshore Fishing

Offshore Freeport, Bahamas, fishing charters are loosely grouped into two categories. Straight south of the island begins the Bahama Banks . The waters here have underwater banks, deep drop-offs that create canyons that hold plenty of fish. This region has plenty of wrecks and artificial reefs that hold snapper, grouper, amberjack, barracuda and more. Trolling is a great way to connect with the pelagic fish that include mahi mahi, sailfish, marlin, king mackerel, tuna, wahoo and others. Trolling works well on grouper too. If riding the waves all day is not your thing, then Freeport, Bahamas, fishing charters can also set you over the underwater structure to drop live and cut bait to the bottom. Reef fish like snapper, hogfish, triggerfish and amberjack hit both kinds of bait. Just size your bait for what you want to catch. Anglers who want to put some effort into their fishing should try jigging. The other offshore fishing heads east to the Continental Shelf. Big fish cruise this area and you need big lures to connect with them. These vertical ledges are highways and homes to many different kinds of fish. At night, deep dwellers rise to feed. During the day, various reef species come out of nighttime hiding places to feed. Reaching the deep bottom means using pounds of lead for weight. This is also live and cut bait fishing. Some of the fish you catch probably never get within 600 feet of the surface, at least until you pull one up from the bottom.

Book A Freeport, Bahamas Fishing Charter

Freeport, Bahamas, is a fishing extravaganza. You can be a part of it. FishAnywhere is here to help. You have the desire. Freeport has the fish. We have the guides to connect your desire to the fish. Let's make this happen.
