The Kautapen Group

Abaco Lodge is the only fly-fishing lodge located directly on the legendary Marls of Great Abaco, one of the most productive bonefishing fisheries in the Bahamas. Spanning more than 300 square miles of pristine shallow flats, mangrove cays, and crystal-clear water, the Marls offer anglers an unmatched opportunity to sight-fish for large numbers of bonefish in a truly untouched setting. With no long runs, no trailering, and immediate access to the flats, guests spend more time casting and less time traveling.

Each morning begins just steps from the dock, where experienced local guides and a fleet of Maverick flats skiffs are ready to explore this extraordinary fishery. After a full day on the water, guests return to comfortable private accommodations, outstanding cuisine, and warm island hospitality. Conveniently located near Marsh Harbour with direct flights from Florida, Abaco Lodge combines world-class Bahamas bonefishing with easy travel and authentic lodge comfort.

What time of the year should I come?

FALL SEASON (Oct. & Nov.)
The fall season in the Abacos can offer some of the finest Bonefishing of the year. Starting in August, tourist season ends and hurricane season begins. So, by the time October rolls around and the lodge opens, anglers will be greeted by fish who haven’t seen a fly in almost 3 months. The fish are willing and ready to eat following a break in tourism and the end of hurricane season. We also tend to see generally larger fish and great numbers of tailing fish during the fall, as the bigger bonefish enjoy feeding all day in the shallow flats due to slightly cooler water temperature. Because the weather can be a little more unpredictable due to cold fronts, our guides can take advantage of the occasional clouds and breeze to get you closer to the larger fish, often times getting multiple shots due to lack of pressure the last few months. On calm days, the fall season offers outstanding fishing on the Ocean-side of Abaco. The Oceanside boasts a significantly larger average size fish (4 – 7 pounds) with shots at fish approaching double digits happening regularly. On the flat, hot, calm days during the fall season, anglers may have a chance to target permit on the oceanside and riding on the backs of stingrays on the Marls side closer to the lodge.

WINTER SEASON (Dec., Jan. & Feb.)
The winter season on Abaco is characterized by high, blue skies and sunshine paired with pleasant weather. The winter season comes with the most wind, but some great fishing as well. Good visibility allows us to see fish on all types of bottom and, as the sun gets higher, the fish get more and more comfortable as surface temperature increases. So, there is no lull in the fishing in the heat of the day and being on the boat is very pleasant. During the winter, we also see larger fish more frequently on the flats as well as large schools moving between the channels and the flats based on water temperature. Beyond the bonefish, large barracudas frequent the shallow flats during the late winter, and, occasionally, baby tarpon can be targeted in the dark-water mangrove creeks. Like the fall, the oceanside fishing for large, tailing fish can be extremely rewarding in the winter.

SPRING SEASON (Mar., Apr. & May)
Springtime in the Abacos offers arguably the best Bonefishing anywhere in the world. The weather is beautiful with comfortable temperatures and minimal cloud cover as the cold fronts and north winds have tapered off, and the water temperature stabilizes to a level that our fish love. Fishing approaches take many different forms. We see large school, tailing fish on the mangrove shorelines, and larger singles and doubles moving between the flats to feed and back to the deep water when they have had their fill. This is the time of year when we have days where it seems every fish that sees a fly wants to eat it and it is not out of the questions that a boat could return to the lodge after a 20+ fish day. One of the more unique species, the mutton snapper, is also best targeted during the late spring season. Fish vibrant, blue and red snapper move onto the flats in April and May and offer a challenge to even the most seasoned anglers. As the spring gets warmer, we will also start seeing tarpon moving around the island and the permit fishing begins to heat up as well.

SUMMER SEASON (June & July)
The summertime is our most calm season. Light winds and hot weather allow for good visibility and great sight fishing. Though the fish sometimes feel the pressure from the boat or hear the rumbling of thunder in the distance from afternoon showers, they are easy to spot and ready to feed, especially early in the morning. As the day goes on, large groups of fish will congregate on the slightly deeper flats to feed, creating ‘muds.’ Looking for fish in and around the muds are a great way to end a long day on the flats and often lead to some surprise catches. The flat calm summer days also produce a large number of shots at our famously large Abaco Permit. These fish are frequently seen riding on the backs of stingrays feeding hard. Anglers can expect to have a few shots at the same fish allowing for fly changes and strategy changes so long as the fish doesn’t spook! The summertime tarpon fishing in Abaco has been getting better and better each season. Both close to the lodge and on the edge, larger migratory fish can be targeted and often eat with reckless abandon!

Getting to Great Abaco Island and Marsh Harbour International Airport (MHH) is simple. There are many direct flights from the U.S. and it is also possible to fly via Nassau (NAS). Our Lodge is located on the Marls side of Abaco Island, just a 10-minute drive from the MHH airport.

If you arrive in Marsh Harbour via Nassau, please allow at least 1½ hours to clear immigration and customs before proceeding to the domestic terminal to check in for your onward flight.

TRAVEL FROM THE U.S. – Numerous direct flights a day to Marsh Harbour. Major carriers that fly directly into Abaco include: Delta and American.
TRAVEL FROM NASSAU – Bahamas Air, Sky Bahamas and Western Air have multiple flights a day.

 

LOCATION

Located approximately 180 miles off the coast of Florida, the Abacos cup the eastern edge of Grand Bahama Island at the northernmost tip of the Bahamas archipelago.

Abaco Lodge is the sole bonefishing resort in the Marls, on the island’s western edge. The Marls is enveloped by a recently designated National Park. Inside its perimeters, with an average depth of about four feet and little tidal influence, lives one of the top-rated bonefisheries in the Bahamas.

Your guides at Abaco Lodge know every inch of it. From blue holes that attract juvenile tarpon (and not-so-juvenile barracuda) to productive bonefish flats and hundreds of cays extending from Cross Harbour in the south to stretches well north of the lodge, you’ll explore new and unpressured water daily.

The Fishing

What to expect on the water.

The Marls of Abaco are immense. Stretching across more than 240 square miles, this labyrinth of shallow flats is so vast that thirteen Manhattans could fit within its borders. But instead of traffic and towers, anglers find a quiet wilderness of pale sand flats, mangrove cays, and scattered islands of Bahamian pine. It is a landscape shaped by tides and light—an ideal environment for one of the most prolific bonefish populations in the Caribbean.

From Abaco Lodge’s central location, our guides have access to an extraordinary range of water. The Marls we fish extend from Wood Cay in the south to the western flats off Treasure Cay, and northward toward the broad shallows near Coopers Town. A thirty-minute skiff run due west brings anglers to the ocean-facing edge of the Marls, where deeper channels, moving tides, and expansive flats often concentrate larger fish.

Bonefish here commonly average three to four pounds, though the Marls are well known for producing larger fish in the five- to ten-pound class. These bigger fish appear less frequently, but when they slide across a flat in good light, the encounter is unforgettable.

While bonefish dominate the ecosystem thanks to the Marls’ protected habitat and abundant forage, the system offers exciting variety. Permit and juvenile tarpon opportunities occur regularly enough that anglers should come prepared with tackle for both species. Barracuda and several shark species also inhabit these waters, adding another dimension to a day on the flats.

Fishing is conducted from our meticulously maintained Maverick flats skiffs, purpose-built for technical sight fishing and comfort. For anglers who enjoy stalking fish on foot, wading opportunities are also available in select areas.

Runs from the lodge dock to the flats typically range from 10 to 45 minutes, depending on tides and destination. Each skiff is equipped for both performance and comfort, with padded seats, backrests, line-tamer mats, and bow lean bars for stable casting. Guides also carry onboard first-aid kits and an emergency satellite phone, ensuring anglers can explore this vast and beautiful fishery with complete confidence.

In addition to its remarkable flats fishing, Abaco also offers exceptional bluewater opportunities. For anglers interested in offshore action, the lodge can coordinate one or more days with some of the island’s most experienced captains. Depending on the season, target species may include marlin, sailfish, dorado, wahoo, and tuna. These trips can be arranged through the lodge, though the island’s best captains often book well in advance, and we recommend planning accordingly. Please note that bluewater charters are available at an additional cost.

The typical trip does not fish on arrival or departure, but if time allows and guides are available, half-day trips can be arranged prior to getting here. Typically you’ll be shuttled from the airport to the lodge where you can check into your room, prepare gear, and spend an afternoon relaxing on the lodge grounds. Here is a sample schedule of the daily program:

  • 7:00 am Breakfast
  • 8:00 am Depart dock
  • 4:00 pm Return to lodge
  • 4:00 pm Onwards Cocktail hour
  • 5:30 pm Appetizers
  • 6:30 pm Dinner

Bonefish are pound-for-pound some of the strongest and fastest saltwater gamefish. Their scientific name is Albula vulpes, which means “white fox.” But to anglers, they’re also known as “grey ghosts” due to their elusive nature and their ability to show up then seemingly vanish in an instant.

Bonefish are noted for moving from deeper water onto shallow tidal flats to feed, where you can find and cast to tailing fish—one of the most challenging (and rewarding) saltwater experiences. They typically retreat to deeper water as the tide ebbs. Bahamas bones can reach upwards of ten pounds, but a more representative size would be about a third of that. Trophy bones are generally considered any fish equal to or in excess of ten pounds. Large adult fish break away from schools, traveling in singles and doubles and offering great sight-fishing opportunities.

Culinary Experience​ in The Bahamas

At Nervous Waters, our goal is to deliver a true taste of the Bahamas.

Food in the Bahamas is the magical encounter between the treasures of the sea, history, culture and its people. We pride ourselves on serving delicious fresh local produce, specializing in fresh fish (Mahi, Tuna, Grouper, and Hog Snapper), conch, and lobster. We carefully stock our larder with fine quality foods from the US and Nassau.

Every day begins with a full breakfast featuring a variety of cereals, as well as fresh fruits. Eggs will be cooked to your preference, with bacon, sausages, and grits. Hot cereals are also available to order. Our chef bakes bread, pastries, and cookies daily. Our coffee is made from freshly ground beans.

A daily lunch menu card allows you to choose the next day’s lunch and the contents of the boat coolers. After you return from fishing, you will find cold beers, spirits, and a blender for cocktails, as well as stacks of soft drinks. A wide range of local spirits will be available free of charge at the lodge.

Delicious appetizers are served before dinner on the veranda, so you can sample local specialties such as cracked conch, grouper fingers, and conch salad. Dinner starts with appetizers such as homemade soups or conch ceviche. Our culinary emphasis is on mixing local dishes with light fresh recipes such as snapper with mango salsa, and some barbecued fish. Desserts will vary from chocolate decadence to key lime parfaits.

House wines such as Malbec from Argentina, Chilean Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon will be served with dinner. We can happily cater to special dietary needs. When you complete your pre-trip questionnaire please mention any requirements or food allergies you might have, so we can inform the chef. Salads are offered in our cooler lunches for those on low-carbohydrate diets. The lodge has a good supply of drinking water from our reverse osmosis system. You will find water in your bedroom and your boat, and you can drink the tap water. In our arid climate, conservation is always appreciated.

What Our guests think
about us?

The entire staff were beyond excellent – paige, sid, velma, all the guides and sammy the dog were all super friendly and i hope to come back again. I cant wait to tell everyone about the experience, folks, lodge, decor, fish, and weather, etc. it was all so so fabulous, especially the beds!
Sara J.USA
The experience left us wanting nothing while not being over the top…. we are not the Ritz and Four Seasons type vacationers and Abaco Lodge was a comfortable, luxurious experience with great food and great people while never making us feel uncomfortable or guilty of opulence, etc… simple yet elegant…. love it!
Michael N.USA
Everything we expected and more. fishing was great and the guides were very helpful – finding fish and positioning the boat for the best possible cast. Accommodations were very comfortable and the staff was professional and polite. The food was fantastic and imaginative. We will definitely be back in the spring for a longer trip and hopefully, bring another couple.
Tom M.USA
The experience was more like staying at a friend’s house who just happens to have a professional staff at your service. My 12-year-old son says it was the best vacation ever! We loved it and will recommend it to our friends and family. Ken and Ann are fantastic hosts. We probably won’t be able to return next year but we will return for sure in the not-to-distant future. Thanks for everything!
