There’s no such thing as a bad day of flats fishing in the Bahamas.
There are however, exceptional days. The G&G hosted trip to Abaco Lodge this March had it’s fair share of exceptional days. We had a great group of anglers, beautiful weather and great fishing. You couldn’t ask for more, but we got more anyway.
Anglers Shane Maybush and Peter Olsen both got nice tarpon. Shane was doubley blessed to have lodge manager Christiaan Pretorius, and his pile of cameras and drones, on the boat when it happened. Chris put together this stunning short video of the event, which features some pro-level fish fighting and line dancing by Shane. Shane guides for Mosey Creek Outfitters in VA. If you’re in the area, look him up.

Nice video. Many years ago (1990’s), I went to Sandy Point for a couple days to try to help a local guide there prove it could be a tarpon fishery. It was too short a trip and we had scant prior sightings, no planes, no drones or other means to locate fish, so we did not see a tarpon to throw to on that trip. I felt sad and defeated that I could not help him with his quest to enhance the area’s attractiveness to fishermen (as if bones and permit were not enough). So it is especially interesting to me that the marls offer up tarpon.
I WAS THERE THAT WEEK WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME. CONGRATS TO SHANE AND PETER AGAIN
Is this Nervous Water’s Abaco Lodge, I thought they had closed that location? I loved bonefishing there.
