Fishing The Bahamas
Andros Island
Andros is Bahamas’ most extraordinary natural wonder.
Andros Island—the largest yet most sparsely developed of all The Bahamas boast abundant natural attractions and is the king when it comes to superlative natural experiences. The big island of The Bahamas is the ideal vacation destination and a great place for ecotravelers, kayakers, bird watchers, hikers, snorkelers, divers and fishermen.
Explore the wonderfully natural
The earth’s third-largest barrier reef (after Australia’s Great Barrier and Central America’s Belize Barrier Reef), Andros Island lies adjacent to its shores. Called the Tongue of the Ocean, a mile-deep abyss—walled with coral and filled with whales, dolphin, marlin and all the wondrous reef animals, licks along Andros’ east coast. Underwater caves riddle the island, surfacing as mesmerizing blue holes that local legends say serve as lairs for the Lucsa, a sea monster that sucks the unwary down into the bottomless blue.
For ocean big-game fishermen, the Tongue beckons, with big snapper along the deep reef and pelagics like mahi-mahi, tuna, wahoo and marlin out in the blue just a bit farther out.In deeper water over the reefs and drop offs available in all of The Bahamas Near and Out Islands, One Call Charters will put you right on top of the best spots and offer a great day of Bahamas fishing fun for the whole family. Further out, in the indigo blue of the Gulf Stream off Bimini, in the mile-deep Tongue of the Ocean alongside Andros, and off the Atlantic sides of the Abacos, Acklins, Exumas, Eleuthera, Cat and Long Island, lie the sleek strong pelagic fish. Fishing out here is big game trolling, when your senses are set to a hair trigger: eyes peeled for the electrifying sight of a marlin’s bill or tuna’s head crashing into the baits, ears tuned to the snap of an outrigger and zzzzzz of the line peeling off as the fish bites and runs. Hook up with a big blue marlin or tuna, or get a wahoo, kingfish or bull dolphin on light tackle, and you’ll have your own Hemingway story to tell when you get home.
Whether you fly fish, spin cast or prefer to troll big game gear – or want to do all three – The Bahamas has a selection of reefs and deep sea fishing drop offs with hungry fish waiting.
