Mangrove Cay Club

Bonefishing at Mangrove Cay Club

Andros Island is the largest area of bonefish habitat in the world, and Mangrove Cay Club sits in the strategic heart of this fishery. You'll have unrivaled boat access to extensive flats systems without ever trailering boats or enduring rough open-ocean rides."

The Andros Fishery
Mangrove Cay Club's location provides access to:

• The Bights – Protected flats with consistent fishing
• Eastern Flats – Expansive hard-bottom flats
• The West Side – Remote, legendary waters

The Bonefish
Andros bonefish are plentiful and powerful. Daily recorded statistics prove the waters just minutes from the lodge are equally productive in both size and numbers. In fact, some of the largest fish have been taken within sight of Mangrove Cay Club.

• Average Size: 3-5 pounds
• Regular Encounters: 6-10 pound fish

Bonus Species
