Bahamas! Mangrove Cay Club, March 1-7, 2023 -2 Spots Left!
The flats surrounding Andros Island are some of the best bonefishing in the world. The fish are plentiful and average 3 to 5 pounds with regular appearances of 6 to 10 pound fish. Several 11, 12 and 13 pound fish are landed every season. In fact, some of the largest fish have been taken within sight of the lodge. You’ll have plenty of shots whether you are new to saltwater or an expert. Most of this fishing is done from a flats boat but wade fishing can be a great option. 

If you don't get enough fishing in on the flats during the day, further adventure awaits from the dock at the lodge. Shark visit the area frequently (encouraged by a bit of chumming from the lodge). Bulls, blacktip, lemon and nurse sharks frequently cruise by. The lodge will have spinning gear ready for some evening entertainment with sharks or other species if you are so inclined. You can also relax on the edge of the water or by the pool with your beverage and take in the ocean breezes and views. 

Mangrove Cay Club offers beautiful duplex bungalows with two beds in each that overlook the sea. Rooms include a spacious bedroom, private outdoor patio and indoor sitting area. The common area includes an office with phones and high speed wireless for your use as well as common sitting areas to visit and recap the adventures of the day. 

Meals here are superb! Cracked conch, conch fritters, grouper nuggets, stone crab claws, hot lobster dip, crudités and chicken wings are some of the items you will find on the hors d’oeuvres table. Chef Iyke prepares seafood caught daily for dinner and  a wide variety of meats, cheeses and salads for your choice at lunch. Fresh ground coffee or tea is delivered around 6:15 and made to order breakfasts begin at 7. Most beer, wine, liquor and mixed drinks are included. 

We have a fantastic group of ladies signed up for this trip -most of whom have participated in Finatical Flyfishing trips and events previously. All levels of anglers are welcome. Join us to meet a wonderful group and have a great time 'on the salt'!
