Bone fishing is the best you will ever have it in Long Island -in the Bahamas. In other words, it does not get any better than than bonefishing in Long Island. Walk out about 20 feet on the beach in front of our villa and cast our your fishing line for bonefish. Our bay is one of the best places to catch bonefish in the entire Bahamas.

Bonefish feed in shallow water covering limestone flats. So you can see their tails splash in the waters by our villa. Problem is as soon as you see them, they seem to disappear as fast as they came. So there is skill involved in catching these fish who live in the most beautiful waters in the world. Even though they weigh in at more than 12 pounds they are one of the strongest fighting fish in the ocean.
The best time to bonefish is in the spring (May through July). November is also a great month for bonefishing on Long Island.

There is a Marine store in Salt Pond. They can give you more information on fishing.

Other Fishing in the Bahamas - In January Long Island has excellent tuna. with another run in June and July. The best month for Marlin is February and August in Long Island, Bahamas.
