Andros Island Bonefish Club

Andros Island Fishing Seasons

The Lodge is open year-round for both flats and bluewater fishing. While sharks, barracuda, and snappers can be targeted in all seasons, bonefish, permit, and tarpon each have peak windows.
Late Winter (January - February):  Prime months for big bonefish. Anglers may also encounter tuna and wahoo offshore. Barracuda are plentiful on the flats.
Spring (March - April):  Peak season for bonefish. Excellent sight-fishing opportunities across the flats.
Early Summer (May–June):  A mix of bonefish, tarpon, and barracuda. Winds ease, but brief afternoon rain showers are common.
Late Summer & Fall (July - September):  Best bonefishing is early in the day before the flats warm. This is an excellent time for tarpon on the west side of Andros. Winds are typically calm, though tropical storms are possible.
Late Fall & Early Winter (October–December):  All of Andros’s bights fish well for bonefish. Permit sightings increase, and resident tarpon remain on the west side.
