Abaco Lodge

A true fisherman’s lodge–waterfront digs with all the comforts of home

Since its opening in 2009, Abaco Lodge has become a favorite of fishermen looking for great comfort, but in a “no frills” package. Excellent cuisine, spacious double-occupancy rooms with waterfront porches, open bar, satellite TV, a fire pit and a dipping pool all welcome anglers back from a hard day of fishing.

Maverick HPXS skiffs captained by some of the Island’s top guides rounds out the Abaco Lodge experience. You’ll fish the famed Marls; 40 square miles of bonefish nirvana. A true target rich environment that will keep both novice and experienced anglers happy.

Fishing

The Marls is best known for its prolific numbers of bonefish, but don’t let that fool you. There are plenty of opportunities to cast to fish exceeding 5 lbs. during the course of a day’s fishing. All fishing is done from the bow of a skiff due to the soft bottom that gives the area its name.

Accommodation

Double accommodations are standard following the lodge's reopening. All rooms have queen beds, air-conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, and waterfront sunset patio views.

Gear

Like most bonefish destinations, 8-weight outfits with floating lines are the norm, while 7-weights are a bit more sporting. Basic bonefish patterns like the Gotcha and Spawning Shrimp reign supreme w/ tippets and leaders tapered to 12 lbs. Outfits are available for those not wanting to tote gear.
