If you have fished the upper Bahamas before, this area is reminiscent of the middle bights of Andros, the east end of Grand Bahama Island, and the marls of Great Abaco Island. The best spot will be chosen depending upon the weather. There are over 200 square miles of pristine water on the northern side of Grand Bahama Island. These offer unlimited opportunities for flats fishing. The waters support large numbers of sport fish, including: bonefish, permit, barracuda, jacks, snapper, sharks, and tarpon. Your guides, the Pinder brothers, boast the average size bonefish is 4-7 pounds and anglers often have shots at 10 pound plus fish that cruise the flats. This area has had very little fishing pressure which contributes to the large numbers and size of fish being caught. The Pinder brothers, have been fishing for two generations, with over 60 years of combined experience. These guides literally grew up in the guiding business at the famed Deep Water Cay Club on the island's East End. Their unsurpassed knowledge and understanding of bonefishing, jovial nature, and excellent communication skills make for a very exciting day on the water for anglers of all casting abilities. The guides will always try to quietly approach the flats with the wind and sun to your back. There is also the opportunity to wade fish on a number of firm, sandy flats. Many consider the Pinder brothers to be the best in the Bahamas It does not take long for your senses to adjust to the solitude and the vast open spaces of the Bahamas. The sky so blue and ever clear, layers of clouds moving different speeds, and the crystalline waters carve a backdrop unlike any you have seen.
