Trip Planning - Bahamas

Post by James9118 »

I'm maybe thinking about bringing my bonefishing trip (Abaco) forward to March this year (so I'm clear for the Sexyloops Scottish meet - how's that for dedication :D ). Has anyone got any thoughts regarding the fishing around that time?

Thanks, James.

Like almost all saltwater trips it depends on the fronts that may and will be pushing through. It's still considered winter and it can be cold and windy. Fishing can be great at that time though. It's kind of a transitional time of year.
You flew all the way here with that cast?

Hi James

I fished Grand Bahama end of Feb a few years ago and had a good trip. Weather was mixed from mill pond calm with burning sunshine to torrential over night rain storms as the fronts came over with a few cooler and windier days. The place was very very quiet and some cash deals to be had with guides that were not that busy.

Hope this gives you some confidence in the fishing.

You're really roughing it then! :D. Looks great. Andros has the angriest horseflies in the Bahamas though :p .
