There are big bonefish on Inagua. They cruise the ocean flats as well numerous ponds in the interior. With only 2 fishing guides on the island and very little fishing pressure, these fish eat aggressively.

The tarpon range from 5-50lbs and can be found in schools or singles in the interior ponds. You’ll find them in both the deeper and really skinny water. These aren’t fished to often and any well-presented fly will be eaten. Where the tarpon swim, you will also find snook, really big snook. Three foot fish are not uncommon here. The ponds and ocean flats are also home to barracuda.

Their aren’t a ton of permit here, but hit some of the ocean flats at the right tide and you have a good chance at seeing them

Inagua is the southern most island in the chain. The winter cold fronts that hit the more northern Bahamian islands don’t usually affect locations this far south. While there is generally more wind in the winter months, there is still excellent fishing in protected areas to be found. This makes the fishing here is outstanding year-round.
