The world is yours to explore & discover

For the islanders, fishing is one way they earn their daily bread. But if you’re an angler, the sport fishing here is unlike anywhere else on earth. You don’t have to be a world-class player to take advantage of what Mayaguana has to offer. In fact, it’s okay if you’ve never fished in your life – skilled guides are willing to show you how it’s done. There are many ways to fish the waters around Mayaguana, and there are more species of fish than you’re ever likely to catch.

Nothing compares with the feeling one gets aboard a slowly trolling boat on a calm sea under a hot summer sun, a reel in one hand and a can of something cold in the other. It’s so quiet out there you can hear nothing more than breakers crashing on the distant reef. The gently rocking boat, the steamy air, the lapping of the water on the underside of the boat, the warm afternoon....


And then it happens: the line jerks in your hand and you’re suddenly wide awake. The fight is on.

FISHING IN THE REEFS

EXCITMENT LEVEL:
UNCOMPARABLE

Dropping a line 1,500 feet into pure darkness is like fishing on the edge of another planet. When that rod bends, you know something ancient and powerful is coming up. It’s not just fishing—it’s deep-sea exploration.”

The stories of Mayaguana fly fishing are the stuff of legends. On a recent visit the fishing was epic, with schools of five- to eight-lb fish in numbers that amazed me. The beauty of the fishing became surreal when a flock of flamingos flew over my head and landed just 50 feet away.

Mayaguana offers the best wade fishing opportunity for really large bonefish.  It remains the closest thing to real “virgin fishing” left in the Bahamas.

Mayaguana is the end of the trail for me – Curtis Creek is a unique in the bonefish world. It is one of the last places in The Bahamas where you can spot, stalk, cast to, hook up and land a tailing bonefish over 10 lbs. There is no place else I’d rather fish.
