Spring brings warm, stable weather, light winds, and excellent visibility on the flats, making it ideal for spotting and stalking tailing bonefish. In the fall and early winter months (October through December), the weather can be slightly more variable, but the fish remain active and eager. As summer approaches, mornings stay productive, with calm water and happy fish. Heat and the potential for afternoon squalls increase slightly by June. Regardless of when you visit, the Marls offer consistent action with virtually no outside fishing pressure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBonefish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBonefish are the main attraction at Abaco Lodge, and the Marls offer some of the best habitat for them in the Bahamas. This sprawling network of mangroves, flats, and creeks stretches more than 200 square miles, providing a massive, nutrient-rich ecosystem where bonefish thrive. Most fish average 2 to 4 pounds, with plenty of shots at larger singles and doubles in the 5- to 7-pound range. Anglers can expect steady action throughout the day, often seeing dozens of fish in a single session. Whether you’re a seasoned flats angler or new to saltwater, the combination of numbers, size, and forgiving conditions makes Abaco a dream destination for bonefish on the fly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003ePermit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eWhile bonefish are the main event at Abaco Lodge, permit offer a more elusive and rewarding challenge. The Marls don’t produce big numbers of permit like you might find in Mexico or Belize, but the fish here tend to be larger and often found trailing rays in slightly deeper water. Most shots come when conditions are calm and visibility is good, typically during the spring and fall. For confident anglers willing to put in the time and stay ready, Abaco can produce trophy-class Permit in the 35+ pound range.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eTarpon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eWhile Abaco isn’t a major tarpon destination, there are still opportunities to target these fish at certain times of year. Juvenile tarpon in the 10 to 30 pound range can be found in sheltered creeks and backcountry channels, especially during the warmer months. Sight-fishing is the primary method, often involving short, quick shots at rolling or laid-up fish. These encounters are unpredictable but exciting, and they offer a fun change of pace for anglers focused on bonefish or permit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eOther Species\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eIn addition to the main targets, Abaco’s flats are home to some exciting bonus species. Barracuda are the standout, often spotted in sandy channels or cruising the edges of flats, and they’re a thrill to chase with wire leaders and fast strips. Snappers and jacks show up from time to time as well, adding variety and a bit of chaos to the day. While not the primary focus, these species round out the experience and keep things interesting between bonefish, tarpon, or permit shots.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBoats\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eAbaco Lodge runs a fleet of Maverick Mirage HPX flats skiffs, designed specifically for stalking bonefish in ultra-shallow water.
