My best fish from this trip.

The little niggling fact that my other suitcase had gone walkabout somewhere between Los Angeles and Nassau, but no one seemed to know exactly where, never completely went away. But I'll call it wisdom that I had carried on board the plane all the essentials to bonefish. So here I was on endless flats on Acklins Island with an eagle eyed Bahamian guide and not another boat or angler in sight. Two very nice bones were working towards me through crystal clear water along the edge of the mangroves. For now all was right with the world.

Scott Heywood at Angling Destinations recommended Grey's Point Bonefish Inn on Acklins Island in the Bahamas. Scott has arranged a couple of trips for Jerry Clark and I and has not steered us wrong yet. I told Scott I wanted peace and quiet, my own flats, and I didn't want to find another boat already on the flat when we came around the mangroves. I didn't need luxury but an A/C in the bedroom would be nice for sleeping. And I wanted at least a few bones with a chance at a double digit fish. That pretty well describes Grey's Point Bonefish Inn to a tee. Except there are plenty of bones and definitely some fish that will best a 10 pound tippet.
