Crooked Island Lodge at Pittstown Point - Overview

(kru-kəd ī-lənd läj)

Location: Bahamas - Crooked Island

Season: Year-round

Capacity: 8 fishers

There is little tourism travel at Crooked Island and, due to its remote location and limited scheduled air service, the fishery there has been virtually untouched. This is a legitimate flats wilderness that has seen only a comparative handful of bonefishermen to date. Waves of uneducated, schooling bonefish averaging 3 pounds stir up the flats and willingly sample well-placed flies. Larger singles and doubles from 6 to 8 pounds work the edges providing more of a challenge, but they too are generally very accommodating.
