creekside Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Just got back from Andros a couple of weeks ago and the fishing was awesome. But lots of rather large bull + lemon sharks on the flats (to many for this chicken to even go swimming). Lost two really nice Bones to sharks and holly c%$p do those fish move out when being chased by sharks or for that matter cuda's. Tried to break them off but the sharks and cuda's were quicker. Stayed at a place called Hanks Place on Fresh creek, great bar and restaurant and you can rent boats C/W 20 horse motors. Spent 2 days booting around Fresh Creek lots of wade able flats but the fish were few and far between for some reason. The rest of the trip was guided. Spent one day up in the Joulter Keys. Guide was Tommy. If you can imagine clean white sand flats (no boots needed) that are about 30 square miles in area loaded with cuda's and Bones that average an honest 3-4 lbs in large schools and you can't tell the sky from the sea on the horizon your in the Joulters Planning already for next years trip to this area we will be camping for 4 or 5 nights. Cheapest deal on Andros. North and Middle Bight. Guide Tommy. This is supposedly where bone fishing all started. Places like the Andros Bonefishing Club and the Bang Bang club are located in this area. Lots of singles and doubles tailing along the mangrove trees. Plenty of sharks and rays. Landed my biggest to date on Moxy creek, just short of 9 pounds on the Boga. Actually stopped at the Bang Bang club and meet the Charlie Smith the guy that the Crazy Charlie was named after. Very cool place. Next two days were spent on Young Sound and Somerset beach, Guide Bonefish Bradley (awesome guide very laid back) this area had the largest concentration of bonefish, both wading and casting from the deck. Plenty of singles and doubles as well as large schools of 2-3 pound fish. And just to make things interesting flamingos. Top fly #2 Tan Bunny Gotcha (2-21/2” long) Top big fish fly Tan Clouser Minnow/ same length as above. Top fly for tailers Blind Clouser Gotcha/ same length as above. If anybody is interested in more information give me call, got allot of independent Guides ph #. Quote
bigbowtrout Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Looks like another place to add to the list. Thanks for the great post Quote
reevesr1 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Sounds incredible. Pictures? Did you fish for the sharks at all? They are a riot in shallow water. Quote
