Andros Island Bonefish Club now sits on
property that was once a sisal plantation. Owned by the British, the
plantation's main function was to make ropes for boats. In the year
1984, Captain Rupert Leadon purchased this property from the government
of the Bahamas with a dream to create the lodge which stands today.
Located approximately 150 miles southeast of Miami, Andros Island is the
largest island in the Bahamas chain, yet it remains the least populated.
The AIBC is located at the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean, Cargill
Creek and the eastern end of the North Bight. This places us just 100
yards from a productive, wadable flat where bonefish are frequently
spotted tailing in the nearby waters. In this ideal position we are able
to offer out guests direct access to some of the best saltwater sport
fishing in all the world and more fishable flats than any area of the
Caribbean. These waters are renowned for both the incomparable sheer
numbers of bonefish-“tousands of dem”-in large schools averaging 3-5
pounds, as well as the great potential for trophy-size, double-digit
bonefish swimming in its waters. Andros has long been known as the home
of the world’s largest bonefish. As your host Capt. Rupert Leadon will
tell you “Here at de AIBC you will turn the agony of defeat into great
trills of victory.” |
