Andros
I'm going to Andros in a week -- mostly bonefish, probably barracuda,
but maybe some offshore,too, for Dorado and Tuna. Been tying lots of flies -- Gotcha/Crazy Charlie hybrids, Simrans, Ververka Mantis Shrimp, Scampis, Marabou Shrimp, etc. Big and light is the theme. Willi, Danl, and Jeff are there now, and I'll see them very briefly at the airport when I arrive in Congo Town. Maybe they'll have some stories and some hot flies for me. TR to follow. Get well, Wolfgang. |

They rented a place in Congo Town. (Strange name. I wonder about the history. The Bahamas has had a sometimes bitter and racially tinged relationship with their colonial past.) I wish them the best luck, but from what I've heard DIY is problematical at best. We are having a blast. Have a nice house right on our own private beach. Easy to catch fish right in the "front yard". We've been fishing mostly in the South Bight for bones. Guess what!!!!! Willi has caught the most and biggest fish!!! What a surprise. Have also done some fishing in other, walk-in locales. a little more difficult than riding in a boat. We are concentrating more on these areas this week. DIY here takes more planning than staying at the lodges (duh!), but you have your own place and your own car and your own guides and can go wherever you want to go. And it turns out to be a lot less expensive than the "lodges". DIY is a no-brainer if you have a little gumption. Not to say that going the lodge route is a bad idea, but we have met a couple of un-satisfied lodge fishermen, along with several who have given rave reviews. RW, you're going to have a great time down here! Travel safe! When does your flight arrive in Congo Town? I'm sure Jeff and Willi will chime in later. Y'all take care, Danl |

Already I've found out that the reputation of that trio has gotten around the island. The airplane fumigation was a fail, despite my Wendy's breakfast in Nassau airport. Sorry, Walt. Serious fishing tomorrow. Rigged for bones, cudas, sharks. Serious fishing tomorrow. Rigged for bones, cudas, and sharks. |
