Our typical day starts with a hearty breakfast after which the boats are loaded and it’s a short ride off to the flats.  Acklins has hundreds of square miles of pristine flats and creek channels, which means you may easily go an entire trip without seeing another boat.  Certainly, you will never feel crowded!

Depending on the conditions and your preferences, the fishing can be done from the boat while you are poled along or while wading the hard sand bottomed flats that surround Acklins.  Over the course of a day, it’s not unusual to cast to cruising fish, large schools, and tailing singles.  The habitat varies enough that you will see a bit of everything.  The bonefish average 3 to 5 lbs with many larger fish to be found.  It is not uncommon to have multiple shots at fish in the 7 to 10lb range.  Remember though, these larger fish didn’t get that way by being easy to fool!

Lunch is usually brought on board and either eaten on the boat or on a deserted caye.  We find that by lunch time our guests are ready for a break from both the physical activities of the morning but also from concentrating on seeing the fish that Fedel has spotted and making the perfect presentation.  A cool drink and some food will get you ready for the afternoon! 

Depending on your mood, in the afternoon you may ask Fedel to continue exploring new flats and areas with you, looking for more or larger bonefish.  Alternatively, you may want to change things up and have Fedel take you near the reef or along the deeper channels fishing for barracuda, jacks and snapper.  Snorkeling the still pristine patch coral is another option.  It’s also entirely possible to combine these activities.  Whatever you wish, we’re here to help you experience the best of what Acklins island has to offer!

We typically return by 6:00pm which gives you a chance to freshen up and have a cocktail before dinner.  Dinners are served informally and may include fresh local seafood such as grouper, snapper, conch or lobster. (With advanced notice we can addres any special dietary requirements).

We do provide some of the best fishing and hospitality to be found on the islands!  Come visit us and experience it yourself!
