Bahamas Bonefishing: Grand Bahama Is More Betterer

Posted under fly fishing reports by Dave Teper

A few years ago, I met a good friend. He taught me what has taken him a lifetime on and off the water to learn. For this I am truly grateful. The wisdom he has given me goes far beyond fly fishing, but who cares about all that.

Last week, I got to spend some time with my friend, Bernard Bevans bonefishingbahamas.com, and we were lucky enough to have some great weather. Blue skies, light breezes, all the factors were in place for hunting some big Grand Bahama bones. The average bonefish in GB is around 5 pounds, but shots at bigger fish are a daily occurance. It is possible to target these fish both out of the boat and on foot, the latter being my preference. Something about sneaking through the water after a bonefish with his back out of the water really gets me going.

The winter is a great time to get at some quality bonefish. Plan a last minute trip post cold front and see what I mean.

Its an easy trip to Freeport from the states, and with accommodations to please almost everybody, its a great place to take the family….cough…cough…if you really have to.
