Fishing Crooked Acklins Island Bahamas Bonefish, Permit, Tarpon
When you first think about fishing in the Bahamas big bonefish appear top of the list. Whilst this is true and this is the place to target trophy sized bonefish, there is also a lot more on offer, especially when you visit the outlying and remote islands such as Crooked and Acklins.
These are immensely varied and largely unexplored fisheries. They are remotest of all the islands in the Bahamas and get rested as a result. Fantastic numbers of triggerfish can be found, along with permit, tarpon, snook, barracuda, sharks and more. There are fantastic schools of bonefish, of course, and you do see some large ones. However, Crooked and Acklins should be viewed as an unspoilt, varied fishery first and foremost.
The accommodation is basic, yet clean, comfortable and perfectly adequate for a week’s fishing. The rooms are spacious and are air conditioned. They are also a stone’s throw from the beach, which is always a bonus. The beauty of the accommodation, however, is its location. It is located on Crooked Island yet is just 15 minutes or so from the dock to Acklins.This proximity allows both islands and areas to be explored during your stay, giving you the best of both worlds.
If you are after a wilderness experience on largely unexplored flats that give access to a myriad of different species that have received very little fishing pressure then we would urge you to visit. Best of all, the operation presents excellent value for money:
A 7 night / 6 day fishing stay costs just US$3,290. This is on a full board, shared room/guide basis. A single boat supplement is US$1,500 and a single room supplement is US$500.
Flights to Crooked are twice a week. As such, you can also do a 10 night stay should you wish. The cost does not include drinks, return flights, hotel stays and transfers on Nassau.
Booking as part of a group? If you book 5 rods then the 6th rod has the fishing stay for free.
The 2016/17 season will run from November through to late July.
