Mars Bay Bonefish Lodge is a small lodge situated on the southeastern tip of Andros that affords anglers a short and easy skiff ride to pristine flats teeming with unpressured bonefish.
The lodge itself is located on a flat large enough for a dozen fishermen. Mars Bay is the end of the road; you can�t drive any further south. That puts you ten miles closer to the best fishing grounds on Andros than the nearest lodge. What does that mean to you? No less than a ten mile shorter run over rough open water and an extra hour fishing each day. You can expect to encounter everything from large schools of two to four pound tailing bones, classic sight casting to schools of five to twenty fish in the five to ten pound category, as well as shots at cruising doubles and singles exceeding ten pounds!
The lodge is under American ownership and management. Bill Howard has been managing the lodge since it opened four years ago and attends to every detail. There is absolutely nothing pretentious about the lodge. We won't crack your pepper for you and you'll not find a mint on your pillow. The atmosphere is comfortable,...laid back and casual. Please book early as most dates are booked a year in advance.

You�ll be on the water early and back safely in time for dinner. At the end of the day if you still want to fish or practice your cast you�re welcome to step out onto the flats in front of the villa and fish till dark. We catch bones there on a regular basis. You will find the accommodations clean and modern; the food is great, the equipment reliable, the guides excellent, and the beer ice cold.
