Small Hope Bay Lodge – North Andros, Bahamas
Small Hope Bay in North Andros is an all-inclusive resort with 21 beachfront rooms in a relaxed, friendly and informal setting. Also features a first-class fishing programme – fly-fishing for bonefish is the focus, but reef and offshore fishing trips can also be organised.
The fishing
Bonefishermen are spoilt for choice at Small Hope Bay Lodge – from the productive flats of Fresh Creek and the North Bight all the way to the Joulters in the far north of the island and Red Bay on the north-west side, this area is one of the hottest bonefish destinations on the planet. Guests are guided by some of the island’s finest captains – Brent Mackey (aka Bonefish Bradley), Ricardo Mackey and Jeff Cartwright – in first-class skiffs.
You’ll need a guide to reach the best spots, but those looking for a spot of DIY bonefishing can check out Davis Creek, the bay right in front of your cabin, Fresh Creek, and a few other secret spots.
Overnight trips for bonefish and tarpon on the uninhabited west side of Andros can also be arranged.
The facilities
Friendly, homely, informal, relaxed – these are the kinds of words people routinely use to describe Small Hoppe Bay. Life focuses around the central lodge, with its comfortable couches and throw-pillows, dining area, lounge/bar area, games room and reading room.
