Andros, Bahamas

Mars Bay Bonefish Lodge

SaltwaterSouth Andros — Mars Bay, at the southern tip

Mars Bay is the southernmost settlement on Andros, and this small fly-only lodge there is 10 to 60 minutes by boat from the flats at the island's southern tip. Days are split between poling and wading for bonefish, with guides rotating daily, and there is a flat to wade right in front of the lodge. It takes no non-fishing guests or children under 12 and has no loaner tackle.
