Great Abaco Bonefish
Club
Great Abaco Bonefish Club is built to
please the most discriminating anglers by accommodating
only sixteen guests and never forgetting its mission.
The Marls extends for more than 300 square miles of
tidal, mangrove lined flats where unwary bonefish are
encountered. Scarcely fished, with some areas never
fished, this is a saltwater fly fisher's true paradise.
The Seashell Beach Club is located on the beautiful
8-mile Cherokee Sound beach and features deluxe suites
and an exercise pool. Memorable meals are prepared and
served in the Heritage Club adjacent to the lodge;
guests staying at the Seashell Club are provided with
golf carts for the quarter-mile transport to the dining
room. This intriguing lodge complex is built on the edge
of a beautiful 90-acre wetland marsh and wildlife refuge
and is on the threshold of some of the most pristine and
virgin flats in all of the Bahamas.
Seashell Beach Club gives bone fishermen exclusive,
convenient access to one of the Bahamas' great
wilderness fisheries. The Marls, on the island's west
side, is an enormous expanse of shallow water dotted
with countless islands, cays, and creeks, parts of which
have yet to be explored with a fly rod. This is a true
bonefish Mecca and is one of the top recommendations for
those looking for large numbers of "catchable" bonefish.
Marls bonefish average about 4 pounds and are still
markedly unwary and easy to approach. The Great Abaco
Bonefish Club has a private boat launch at the Marls
that puts anglers right in the heart of this flats
frontier. Before this operation opened, anglers rarely
visited these flats.
The Marls is just a 20-minute drive, and the wadable
flats of Cherokee Sound are five minutes by water from
the lodge. Eight 16-ft Rahming skiffs with 40-hp Yamahas
await anglers to discover this extraordinary fishery.
The club's local guide staff is experienced, water-wise,
and constantly exploring further into the Marls. Anglers
have been impressed with the average size of the
bonefish and the tremendously large schools of 3-5 pound
bones and larger individuals and pairs, which have
obviously had very little pressure. |
